Agree. Problem is those that can afford all that also have lawyers that lobby the statehouse to insert loopholes that their accountants can exploit.

Leaving the free e-filers to take the brunt of it.

Of course they did

Never heard it called the greenway, but the bike path is snow free from oakledge to colchester. Not sure about the causeway, but assume it's clear as well since there's less shade out there

Grew up in a town with a strong town meeting tradition (to this day) and unfortunately moved out. There really is nothing like it.

Always thought the state should push to shut all business that day so everyone could attend, but wasn't meant to be. Seems like they've promoted it less and less.

There is no substitute for face to face, neighbor to neighbor communication about local issues. Doesn't matter if you're 5 gen woodchuck or moved from the flatlands last year. It's a great way to get involved with your community

Hate to see it slowly disappear

>That means, theoretically, we could have 25% more housing inventory tomorrow if we just take the empty vacation homes and Airbnbs.

Take?

The STR owners shot themselves in the foot on this one. They had a good thing going and then they got greedy.

We booked a small house near Barre for a family reunion in 2019 for a reasonable price, low fees, few rules. Clean, but nothing special. Full of old junk (not antique) furniture and bedding. Tried to book the same one last summer and the nightly fee had triple, cleaning fee added, water(?) fee added, internet fee added, pet fee added and there was a todo list a mile long.

More Free Staters in NH, more Hippies in VT

So screw the ones that need help until the public system figures it out?

Sounds about right

Diversity in education sources, public and private, is a good thing. If an alternative form of education is what an individual student needs and the state can't provide it, then they should pay for it.

Who knew frost went that deep here. Always thought 4 foot was safe

Depends on if your town clerk likes you or not

Agree altho this varies by town. Some towns will maintain to the last full time residence on a class 4 and some don't. It depends on how the road maintenance is addressed in the town plan or zoning regs.

Neighbor calls the state police repeatedly on my grandfathers farm for manure spreading. Not even liquid, OG bedded pack type stuff. Now he saves it all for the spring/summer/fall holiday weekends

Don't sit in the left land on the highway if you're doing 50mph.

Don't bother...they all suck

Agree

BPDs Twitter feed used to actually post breaking safety/traffic information, but not anymore. Front porch forum can be good for some hyper local info as well. That is if you don't mind weeding thru all the "missing cat" posts

Worst part is that for a little while, you could actually get local breaking news on their website and TWTR feed. Like if you heard sirens and saw firetrucks heading out, you could find out what was happening within a few minutes but no more. WCAX and WPTZ have just about given up as well.

Local doesn't bring in the ad revenue so they just borked the whole thing

So sad the state of this paper, but I do remember The Station fire was national news at the time

It really does depends on the road and how well it drains.

Class 3 road from the south going into camp in the NEK is 8 miles of dirt and fine thru mud season. Town spent big re-laying the base. Class 3 road to the east is 3 miles of dirt and I pulled a truck out buried to the frame rails a few years ago. It's on the list of roads to fix

First world problems

Mine all survived. Coop is actually insulated and had a thick pack on the floor. Added some fresh shavings and gave them some warm soaked scratch before lights out.

Got a mix of everything. They've been thru colder than this in years past, some are 7-8 years old, but they haven't had any cold at all this year.

It's not the cold, it's the 50 degree swing that will kill them

Luckily it's not gonna last

Been prepared for this since the day after Thanksgiving.

More worried about my chickens, they haven't seen these kinda temps yet and aren't acclimated.

This is the way

Hardest part of using an older vehicle for winter is the state inspection. Minor wear and tear accumulates and depending on the inspections station, you could be in for a hefty bill to pass.

On top of that some older vehicles were built to looser specs so brand new ball joints and leaf spring bushings have too much play for some inspections stations to clear you.

I had an old beater toyota pickup with high miles that ran great and had little rust. An older station would pass me no problem, but the new owners were not accustomed to older vehicles and wouldn't pass me.

Or just run without a sticker
