How about the people who live in Maine but have never even thought to prepare for bad weather? I know people who have lived here for their whole life and have never bought a generator. Yeah its rare but you still need to prepare for it.

I bought a generator in 2008, I think it's only run maybe 3 times in all those years.

I've got an old car battery with an inverter, it'll run a light, the cable modem and the wifi. To cook I've got a camp stove and heat from the woodstove. The power is rarely out for more than an hour or two at my house ever. Like once a decade ever.

If you live out at the end of the road a generator might be a good idea but most people don't need one.

If you fucking tell me to buy snow tires I swear it I'm gonna shove em up your ass. Unless you're willing to offer your garage for storage for the ten months I don't need them, I'll just stick to driving smart during snow.

Bro I am not talking about snow tires lol. I'm talking about people that lose power and make the Pikachu face. A small generator is not expensive. You live in a state that occasionally gets wild weather. Prepare for it
