In many (most?) locations, the local fire department will gladly replace the batteries for you free of charge. You buy the batteries; they send a truck and a couple guys. Maybe buy them a Costco-sized bag of coffee for the firehouse.
What a great idea. We live close to a spanking new firehouse. And the suggestion of Costco can of coffee is priceless.
We did a fair amount of snow shoveling for the neighbors and even helped to do a fallen tree removal. It wasn't even that long ago that we were doing all that stuff. I guess even now at the age of 56 I would be considered a whippersnapper compared to the elderly neighbors that we helped out.
We didn't move because of the snow but now 8 years later I am glad that we did move. I don't miss snow, ice, slippery/treacherous sidewalks and roadways. I do not miss snapped limbs or fallen trees. I don't miss scraping ice off the car windows or shoveling snow off the walkways, from around the cars and out of our stairwell.
You don't know what a relief it is to be away from snow and ice until you no longer have to contend with it.
