Sorry for your loss! I was half joking in the first part of the post because we get these posts all the time. Why do you desire a change? I think that should be answered before moving here. NH is a really a mixed bag everywhere you go so you're going to have to be ok with it not meeting all the check boxes just like anywhere else. The major difference with the mixed bag is that most places to move to are so small that there's not much you're going to be able to change it other than driving really far to find another community. Instantly when you move here, you will be viewed as the outsider pariah as you can see from the comments on this post. Are you ok with dealing with that? The community stuff or quaint town feel isn't a given and you'll have to work and deal with ppl for possibly decades before you get what you think you want in that area. As a transplant myself, i'm just telling you the writing on the wall before you get here. If you're going to be isolationists, then expect to be treated as such. Thankfully where we moved, we already knew a ton of ppl and have been heavily involved in a ton of ways but we see these dynamics play out in a lot of places.

You do realize the tourists are buying up properties and renting them out as airbnbs when they don't use them right?

def not for you and you will burn your 3rd change.....this almost feels like a troll post, lol. You have too many opinions and already leave places when the going gets tough. NH is cold. On a more serious note, you should just visit. NH is small enough where everyone's opinion is possibly localized to their specific area so anything i say may not apply to another town or area. I would honestly recommend something in the south eastern NH where the major cities of MA/ME are relatively close. If you're going to be hermits, just look up the town with the least zoning rules so you can do whatever you want with your property.

I haven't seen much up here. Maybe 2-3 inches over night.

Reply to Hiking advice this weekend by willk95
you should join one of those hiking facebook groups for 4000 footers. Everyone there is usually very happy to provide beta. If you're staying below treeline, you should be fine hiking moosilauke in most weather conditions. Above treeline at moosilauke can get as gnarly as washington or the franconia ridge.

WV was really good last weekend including glades and all the random cliffs they have. They were making tons of snow, too. Loon was icy but they've had good snowmaking all year. Cannon has been pretty good lately but be careful on the flat ridges since they have been icy due to the water run off. I think cannon finally opened some more upper mountain trails so that's good news. Just to reiterate and hint at where you should not go....I have no idea why you would go to Loon next weekend, lol. That will be a nightmare and tickets might already be sold out unless you buy a beginner ticket. Cannon is most likely already sold out. WV may be your only option honestly but it was really good last weekend.

Really depends where and what elevation. You can't really get a generalization around the whole area correct until July.
