Extreme cold weather is here!

Maine is one of the few places in the country that see "extreme cold." I'm not talking about 20-30 degrees (just below freezing), I'm talking about several degrees below zero. So what happens when it gets that cold here? Well first and foremost, we complain about it, as if by some magic complaint wizardry, Mother Nature will just reconsider the ungodly temperatures she's unleashing upon us.

Community Closet gets a van

A happy group of people standing around a van?

Brown Appliance and Mattress and Stanley Subaru gave Community Closet a van.

It may not seem like much, but a van is a very big deal for the nonprofit. Before the ink was dry on the paperwork making everything official, Community Closet proprietor Jackie Wycoff was already telling Jason Brown and Mark Politte how having the van would free up storage space to allow for faster sorting of donations. That, in turn, would lead to more clothes and goods available for customers and people in need.

Car care tips to save you money and increase your trade-in value

Put frankly, simple maintenance tasks keep your Subaru in top running condition which ultimately saves you money, because timely maintenance does more than keep your Subaru running smoothly; it can increase your car's trade-in value, improve its mileage, and save you time and costly repairs down the road.

Coolant

Check the level of coolant in your radiator by looking at the coolant overflow tank. Maintaining proper antifreeze will keep your engine cool in hot weather and prevent damage when temperatures fall as low as 40 below zero.

What do I need to know about shocks and struts?

Shocks and struts are the bits of your car that keep you from scraping the the bottom of your car on the road but also make it so you don't feel every little bump. Without shocks and struts, your vehicle would continually bounce and bound down the road. While it looks fun in rally video, experiencing it going to work is a real bummer.

Since winter is the time of frost heaves and infinite potholes, it's a good idea to check that shocks and struts are in top condition during the winter months.
