We endure cold temps in maine every winter every year. Including last year and the year before. Nothing new. Nothing to fret about. Stop fear mongering. Common sense will prevail.

We haven’t had temps as cold as predicted in about 5 years. There are plenty of folks here who’ve never had to deal with these temps.

Let people spread good advice and good vibes, pls.

Bs last year was the coldest since 2009. It will be no different for this weekend's short cold front that will come and go. Another nothing burger. It's cold every year. Nothing new and definitely nothing strange about it.

They didn't say there was anything new or strange about it. There will still be people who die, there will be some people who don't know some important cold preparation steps. Nothing wrong with sharing tips, they aren't saying the sky is falling.

What's so wrong with passing along good advice to people? Not everyone has been here for 20+ years.

Oh for crying outloud, I've read some lame comments on reddit but this one takes the cake. Fear Mongering? Against who? Against what? For what gain? Safety? Well being of your neighbors and homes? Take your crappy attitude and go find something positive to do. Your comment could not become any stupider.

Just like driving in the first snow, the first cold snap takes everyone by surprise. We get out of practice and it helps even the experienced to be reminded of all the big and little things that can affect us in the next few days.
