Touché

It's also kinda hell

Like, Greenville hell? Or a different kind of hell?

Never been, what's it like?

1½ miles, for heavy cream, in heavy snow, with slippery sidewalks and puddles hiding under snow, for alfredo sauce? Thats one of the most New Hampshire things I've ever heard. I love it.

If you need a suitable substitute in the future, the mixture I've used for a base for alfredo sauce is one part whole milk, to one part half-and-half. It's not quite as savory but it's still pretty darn tasty.

A lot of the area around Peterborough and Hillsborough don't have power. The area around Milford and Wilton seems to. It's really damn heavy, and it's super slushy to walk on. There's pools of water forming in dips and potholes in the roads, hiding underneath the snow.

Without knowing exactly where you work, I think Milford might be a good town to check out. There's a lot there, with Amherst and Nashua close by. Or there are quite a few nice small towns surrounding it, like Mont Vernon and Wilton.

Not to derail the topic, but do you remember where in Boston you had them? I'd love to try authentic ones, and I'm taking a trip there soon.

Clever, I bet you hear that often too.

If you still have a 603 number, you'll still get scam calls from 603 numbers. My girlfriend has lived in NH for over 3 years and she still gets scam calls from her phone's area code (860).

Mine gets faked so often because it's really generic (think something like "100-0001"). I actually had a call from a police department telling me that a handful of people in their town reported my number under the grounds of harassment. I had to tell them it wasn't me and that my number was faked. And they claimed that wasn't possible...

I've literally done it before! Just to mess with my brother once or twice by pretending to be his own phone number calling him, and then never again. It's totally possible and frankly easy to do!

So the way that phone scams tend to work is the following:

• they spoof (disguise themselves) as a legitimate NH number when they call any phone number with a 603 area code
• they'll usually call a hundred numbers at a time to see if they get a response. They usually only have about 10 callers working the phones during this time, since not all 100 phonecalls will be picked up
• they'll also usually call a few hundred numbers in bulk, record the brief response of whoever answers (when you say "hello?"), hang up, and save those audio clips to be evaluated later (checking the age, gender, etc. of the person who answered, or if the location is a business, school, etc.)

So what's happening is the following: either your voice response is being saved for evaluation to see if you're easily susceptible to be scammed, or when they call a bulk amount of phone numbers, there isn't an available person to take your call, so they drop it.

They're likely not even based in NH, they're usually based in a country where they can do this under the radar and not have harsh penalties if caught. There's really not much we can do to stop it. Don't report the NH number who called you because it likely belongs to a real person.

Totally appropriate for here.

I work right down the street, I'm glad you are all safe and sound over there.

Looks like the cops left Market Basket in Milford. They have a helicopter circling in Wilton.
