/u/Peanut-Donut this is brilliant. Where ever did you get it?

Sorry, you're right. I'm used to looking at county maps without the lake. Its going to be exciting anyway. At the beginning of March i was complaining we hadn't had enough snow this year. Be careful what you wish for.

I greatly appreciate your work u/TheCloudBoy. But can i suggest you correct your county base map, to separate Belknap and Carroll counties? It would make it easier for some of us to see if we're in the 8-12" or 12-16" zones. Not that it will make much difference.

Probably TMI, but the state publishes a ZBA handbook with all the procedures that must be followed. It can be highly stylized and formal. Or see their FAQ. If you google videos of "zoning board of adjustment meetings" there are plenty of examples. (But probably boring, if not your town.) If you are an abutter, you get noticed by mail, and definitely be given a chance to speak. No, you can't ask the owner questions directly. You have to address your questions to the board chair, but you will get a response. Pro tip: find the minutes of the planning board hearing (or video if your town records meetings), to find out why they need a variance. -a local ZBA member

'Cause we've always done it like that, since the state's second constitution was adopted in 1784. (The position was called President until 1790.) Same reason there is an Executive Council: to limit the power of the Executive. Partially in response to having the longest serving Royal Governor for 25 years: Benning Wentworth. It would take a constitutional amendment to change it, making that unlikely. Vermont is the only other state with a two year governor term. And they only switched from one-year terms to two-years in 1870.

Thank you for the link. I've seen the signs in the area, but my Google-fu failed me, so i was still wondering.

In The Devil and Daniel Webster, Mr. Scratch denies he is a foreign prince, and says while neither a Southerner nor a Northerner, he is merely an honest American. Since Satan hasn't been seen in New Hampshire since that trial, Judge Weber's conclusion that he might be found in New Hampshire, isn't supported by the facts.
