Trying to find a place to live, help? -

Okay, I am trying to figure out a good place to live, I am just going to name the things me and my friend want and maybe you will know of a good state and maybe even a specific town.It has to be in the US.Have the temperatures during the summer being at the highest 90 F.Snow every year.Not too expensive.Not a crowded place.Somewhere that we could afford 1 to 5 acres of land.Thanks to everyone that helps. :)

i would say virginia i live in northern virginia it snows every year, we just got 22 inches of snow where i live, last summer the high i believe was 91 degrees but that was the hottest it got. Virginias not too crowded like florida or ny. Northern virginia is expensive though not all of virginia is like that. Land is expensive in virginia you could find it easy but its probably really expensive.

Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, or the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. There will be times when the temps get above 90 F. It is almost impossible to find a place that does not get above 90 F in the contiguous 48.

South NJ-cheap land,4 season..if you miss big city -drive 2-3 hours and NY is there.

How should I dress in Pocatello, Idaho in December? -

I ll be in Pocatello right before Christmas for several days to attend a wedding. What type of clothing should I take with me? I know what I m wearing for the wedding; I m talking about everywhere else. P.S. I get chilled easily.

Pack heavy!! Sweaters, thick shirts, and coats.

Trying to understand parking meter signs in NYC? -

I just moved to a new neighborhood in Queens, and am dealing with metered parking now. When a meter s sign says 2 hour parking, 8am-7pm , does that mean that after 7pm you can park there for longer than 2 hours? Or do you still have to pay the meter between the hours after 7pm and before 8am? Maybe both?Seems silly to wake up every 2 hours to feed the meter or to move your car to another one in the middle of the night!I know it probably sounds dumb, but no one here can give me a straight answer! They all say Good point, I m not sure . I tried to find the answer on the NYC parking regulations website, and even that s not clear about having to pay after the posted hours.Help! And if anyone has any parking tips (or a spot for rent) in the Elmhurst/Jackson Heights area, please please please share!

Once the regulation expires, at 7 PM, and if there are no other signs posted, it s a perfectly legal parking space for as long as you want. Always assume a legal parking space if nothing is posted. It s legal unless there s a sign posted saying otherwise.Parking signs state restrictions, not permissions. This sign states a two-hour restriction that is in effect from 8 AM to 7 PM. After that, the restriction is removed.Just have your coins ready at 8 AM, though. They ll be waiting.

By the way, what everyone else is not pointing out is that it is illegal to park in that spot for more than the posted time during the posted hours. To park there and drop coins in the expiring meter is not allowed as the meter is designed to allow for the turnover of parking spaces in order to promote business to the local stores and the convenience of the shoppers that want to buy things there. That being said, that part of the law is not usually enforced in NYC.

If the sign says 2 hour parking, 8am-7pm it means you can only park there for 2 hours between the hours of 8am and 7pm and you will have to feed the meter every 2 hours, otherwise you will get a parking ticket. If you park after 7pm and before 8am, the next day, you will be fine.Good luck
