OMG as if it's the end of the world it's just winter in New Hampshire. Of course you should have items stocked already, if you're very rural maybe a generator, or at least a wood stove but please no histeionics. People should turn off the weather channel and just go with the flow. If you livee south of Concord Not too much for me lol occasionally you can get snowed in there too. I remember one winter maybe 20 so years ago, I commercially cloud plowed every single day for a month. I got a lot of side job says well so was lucrative. It's New Hampshire in the winter in the only regular thing about it is the irregularity. Expect cold weather, and a lot of snow and ice.

No panicking at the grocery store for milk bread and toilet paper please

Haha New englanders have always gotten the reputation of being cold and unfriendly. But in my book, it's always a matter of minding your own business and being in that sense tolerant of your neighbor. Their business over there. Growing up gay in New England for this reason was no big thing in the late '60s for me. I travel a lot, I am in California now , Los Angeles for the winter. Oh God I hate Florida.. I think the distinctions however, the mobility of everybody on the planet especially in the US, the internet, YouTube, etc etc Netflix whatever has lessened all of these distinctions, better or worse. Not only a US level but on a global level. I see it especially in Europe the homogenization the globalization more and more

Haha, I don't like New Hampshire Winters anymore after working in the snow removal service for 35 years and I'm parked in Los Angeles under a palm tree. But soon soon I will be back like the swallows. Just about taxtime I return, although, I should be back earlier this year. Trying to buy a house but the pickings are slim and I am so fussy But can't look at anything if you're sitting elsewhere

Have you ever lived in Boston, just curious?. I'm in New Hampshire native but lived in Boston for a decade in the south end and hands down would still live there if the situation for me were right. It was eminently walkable iand the transportation to all parts of greater Boston was easy. New Hampshire completely sucks especially the economic powerhouse of the state, Manchester, a complete disgrace

That's why it's required for you is a property owner to do your due diligence and clear your walkway. Everything can't fall to the city although the city does the send a plow sidewalk plow through eventually and Sands. This belongs to the same mentality, I'm taking care of the curb and grassy Street planting which some homeowners strangely ignore even though they tend their property on the other side of the Walk. I'll never understand this. Living in a city brings many advantages but requires shared responsibility

I think it's funny in this day and age that it even makes news or is part of a forum. How times have changed in our sprawled urbanized landscape where nobody walks to their job School or church and is So weather dependent. I'm 70 and have seen how this has changed over the decades. But everybody now lives somewhere else, shops at the malls drives drives drives so a flake makes a concern for everybody. I did road service, winter service, snow plowing for 40 years so I've seen all the conditions and all of the absurd driving..

God damn it ,maybe I'll get camellias in my New Hampshire garden after all.. You can almost just almost grow them on the most sheltered spot on the cape or behind a stone wall in southern Rhode Island.. oh just another zone or two north, no complaints about global warming in northern New England lol ..Just making light I know, of aserious global climate problem.

Ticks are everywhere. As a landscaper I'm surprised how I have always managed to avoid them.. The only time I've ever had one is once on the Cape and one set of friends house visiting his garden in New Hampshire. I guess some people are more prone, but they are everywhere. I avoid all the chemicals nasty stuff. Just check yourself, just comes alwiththe turf. If you're really that afraid of the forest and field just get a condo or a city apartment

Oh I know, and over the borderton Massachusetts and over the river to Vermont. Unfortunately I want to stay closer to the larger Boston circle and hence have to pay all the money. But boy there are some really really pretty houses. I love Greenville and new Ipswich but just a little far from my point of getaway. Southeastern Connecticut and the contingent part of Rhode Island also incredible deals. Even better than the area that we are talking about

Except remember, that the South voted as a block democratic for almost a century because the hatred of the party of Lincoln was so strong. Even though the Democrats in the late 19th century with a party of labor and in the 20th century progressivism, nonetheless the Democratic vote of the southern block be counted on until civil rights. It was a bitter pill that the Democratic party took and of course the right thing, but it cost the Democratic party dearly and has never quite recovered. Every one of those states now is firmly in the grip of the GOP

Maybe, but I'm looking for a new place to live and Concord North is the line tilton Franklin is just be on the pale not part of Southern New Hampshire for me. Of course this is purely pedantic and you could clearly make your case that everything to the big lake is largely Southern tier and so heavily influenced
