Must be on a snow drift. We’re at a higher elevation in Peterborough and got 33 inches. Most seem to be in the 30-35 inch range. 42 inches is way beyond a standard deviation for the area.

I would be interested. I’ve admined/moderated multiple Facebook groups (mostly local/community focused groups) over the years raging from 500-25k members. I don’t do FB much these days, but would be happy to tap into that experience to assist with moderation here.

The Coast Guard does occasionally assist with inland rescues in this part of the country, especially when conditions are poor. Those helicopters (Jayhawks) can handle some intense weather and the pilots train in it and for it.

I’m in Peterborough and had dinner in Bennington tonight. First I’ve heard anything.

Update: Just did some FB sleuthing and even the town’s Emergency Management FB Page has referenced it. Very little detail available, though.

Sounds like a teen suicide.

Moved here from Texas 6 months ago and have spent a ton of time in Oklahoma over the years. Most new construction in Oklahoma is a modern ranch house style with builders offering like 3 brick options and 2 stone options. Inside, they’re all designed with the modern farmhouse aesthetic in mind. They all look the same. Same shit in Texas.

Brick and stone aren’t as common up here for a reason. Roof pitches are typically steeper up here for a reason. It’s a very different climate that needs to be accounted for.

But based on your post and comments, you probably wouldn’t like it here and would struggle to make friends. People here are kind, but typically more reserved and take time to fully open up. If this is an accurate reflection of how you communicate, be ready to feel quite isolated.

Personally, I will add that the move up here has been refreshing. It’s a bit slower pace, the air is cleaner, there’s a real sense of community I’ve never experienced anywhere else, and the people are generally more genuine and far less shallow than in the south.

Yet you ignore the fact that the energy companies, especially oil, raked in record profits last year. They just used Ukraine as a scapegoat to line their pockets. Unfortunately, this is a direct result of unfettered capitalism. But the people who support those who vote to keep capitalism unrestrained, refuse to see that they got what they voted for.

Blame the corporations recording record profits. Then blame those who vote to ensure that corporations can get away with it over and over again. I’ll wait.

That’s awesome! Yeah, I have the same question about the proximity of locations.

Our next challenge is to find someone/somewhere local to get bulk tamales for the holidays. This year, my FIL ended up shipping us like 10 dozen from the Rio Grande Valley where my wife is from.

We moved here from Texas and use Central and South Texas as our measuring stick for Mexican food. Finding good red sauce for enchiladas and decent tamales up this way is difficult. We really like Nuevo Vallarta in Manchester, though. It’s the closest we have found to what we had in Texas. It’s a 50 minute drive for us, but well worth it.

Totally understand the desire to move, but just keep in mind that New Hampshire isn’t some sort of Republican stronghold. It’s purple and trending bluer, especially in the southern half of the state that you are looking at. There are a few towns right along the border that are strong conservative pockets, but the counties along the border as a whole are solidly blue.

With that said, it doesn’t feel as polarized here as other parts of the country. We moved here from Texas 5 months ago partly because of how polarized the political climate was there. While we lean left, we appreciate the ability for people here to cross-over and be bipartisan which is why NH has Democratic senators and a Republican governor.

Good luck on your search and hope you find a place that fits what you’re looking for.

Having four real seasons, for one. This fall was spectacular! I love colder weather, so I’m enjoying it, too. Obviously much more scenic here. We love the outdoors so we’re really enjoying all the hiking, fishing, etc.. In general, the people here are much kinder, more patient, and generally friendlier. I also find the political climate much less polarizing. I really only miss the Mexican food.
