@K. F. it gets extremely cold, however if you don’t mind the cold 🥶 you’ll love it, it’s a beautiful place and good people

@Interdimensionaltravelagent 2 года назад

Lived there 11 years. Portland is wonderful in the summer but the six to eight months of snow can be soul crushing for some. My mom says it has not been as snowy the past few years. Winter depression is a real issue so keep that in mind. Due to people from out of state buying or renting much of the available properties, wages have not caught up with the cost of living. Many people have to live a half hour to an hour outside of Portland and drive through the snow and ice to get to work. I am not saying people shouldn’t move there, but perhaps more should be done so that people born and raised there can afford to stay.

I live in the other Portland. I'll take mild temps an incessant rain any day over (most) northern New England winters. Here, spring blossoms arrive in late February and everything is in full bloom before May.

Also near the western Portland. I’d take snow over the incessant smoke we get all summer on this coast.

@donnaleeah5075 2 года назад

Lol I hope they are going to say about driving in Portland on the side streets. If you live in the city,,, pretty much all of them are automatically one way, though they're really 2 ways. So it's pull over if you can left the other driver safely pass through. If you move to South Portland there is NO parking on the street period from Dec 1st til April 1st. From midnight til 6 AM. Our rents are ridiculously high. Thanks to many moving here. There is an unlying unhappiness with this.

@fitforfun7671 2 года назад

Hi guys:) I have a qestion for you. Can I transfer my German Driver's License in Portland, Maine without having to take any tests.? Some US states have so called reciprocity agreements with other countries. This means that if your driving permit has been issued in one of these countries, you will be able to simply exchange it for a US driving license of that state (and typically vice versa) without having to take any tests. Thanks 😊

@Memorie1920 4 года назад

Hello from middle Georgia. We had our first white Christmas in Portland, ME and loved snow tubing for the first time in Westbrook. We've been 3 times and hope to move there within a couple of years. Maybe I worry too much, but I have so many questions! Do the car doors routinely get frozen shut? Suppose you're at work and can't go out and clear your car off as the snow builds. Are employers good about keeping up with the parking lots? I mean do you need to take a shovel to work?...lol. I'm also a bit worried about white out conditions since I'm a nurse and would still have to go to work. How often do those happen? Does it get so bad in Portland that you may have to shovel your roof? Some of those may sound like silly questions, but I've never had to deal with it so don't have a clue!

@sm3675 3 года назад

Snow happens and doors can sometimes become shut. A hot bucket of water can dry out the ice and rough snow and you will need a shovel everywhere. Only once or twuce a year do most people go and shovel snow on the roof. Btw I am from toronto, Toronto is colder than portland but not the same.

@autumn_b905 3 года назад

No one in the world shovels their roofs. This comment must be a joke. There are items that you can purchase from home depot to thaw the locks on your car doors. That guy commenting about hot water is a hater. I live in NY and we get blizzards so I know how things are with snow.

@Memorie1920 3 года назад

@@autumn_b905 I know how I probably sound but not a joke. I wouldn't know and I've heard of this in Maine and you can find RU-vid videos of people actually shoveling snow off roofs. Maybe he means warm water. I wouldn't risk hot water on it.

@autumn_b905 3 года назад

@@Memorie1920 🤣 that's crazy 🤣🤣🤣 that guy is a hater tho. He posted somewhere else with false info. Pouring water on locks is always bad tho.

@rev.dr.heatherm.ruggiwi 3 года назад

AutumnBeauty people shovel their roofs when they have flat roofs and several feet of snow on them. Otherwise their roof would collapse. So no, she wasn’t joking.

This video reminds me why I left Portland for Texas back in 1964. It was -40 wind chill when I was born in Portland. I left Portland for anything that had "South" it its name. After learning how to fly Army helicopters in South Texas, I went to South Vietnam and then South Korea. I would always go back to South Texas when I now live. Portland is a great place to be born and raised, but Texas is a place where you can stay warm. Cheers, Ya'll

Advice on how to drive in the winter please? Do you get a lot of surface ice?

@mirandanichols3618 3 года назад

not a lot of ice in my experience. just be careful not to slam on your brakes when it's snowing, give yourself time and space to maneuver and you should be fine. i drove a 2000 Honda civic all last winter with no issues

Yes. Not as bad in the last few years however.

@GiffysChannel 4 года назад

With the winters getting colder and the country's economy bubble breaking records, the winters in Maine are going to get scary. Just the other winter there was an oil shortage and it made me realize just how vulnerable it is to only have one source of heat. Wood stove is a must.

@LivingInMaine 4 года назад

Hi Giffy. Thanks for you comment. We heat with both oil and wood, and have not had a problem getting oil. There was about a 2 week period last year after a blizzard and cold snap that caused a backlog of deliveries, though that was more logistical in nature than an actual shortage of fuel. In fact, fuel prices right now are the lowest they have been in more than 2 years. www.maine.gov/energy/fuel_prices/

@GiffysChannel 4 года назад

@@LivingInMaine Thank God for those prices too. Glad you have dual heat sources.

@@LivingInMaine Live in Texas now but it gets VERY windy in the winters here. Have had numerous people from up north, even Alaska, say that our winters are worse because of our wind and the humidity.

We are currently searching. Lowest price house we've considered has been 265k and was 3BR/1Bath and just under 1000 sq ft. No garage. It was outside the peninsula. You might could find something as low as 250k house wise, but we haven't looked at duplexes. Housing prices can be much lower in other areas of Maine if you don't need to be near Portland.

My advice... Don't move to Portland... Brought up in Portland, graduated & left 3 after graduation day... No regrets. Daughter moved there & just left Sept 2021 to Virginia... Best move. Kids have excelled extremely in VA schools. Maine schools. These Maine bozos are still calling & asking where & why the kids are not in school. Sad group. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🙄 ... Use YOUR judgement of not sending your child to school... Heat is usually lasts about 3 weeks out AAAALL the so called summer. 🤦‍♀️Ll Bean IS expensive... Good luck if you do. Bless your hearts
