The crazy numbers are wind chill / "real feel". The -11 is the low for the actual temperature.

Might seem stupid at first, but as far as how dangerous it is, and how miserable it'll be outside, there's a huge difference between a low temperature and a low temperature with high winds.

The impression I get is Manchester's just dumpy overall. Not like a big city where you have entire neighborhoods that you just don't go in for safety reasons.

I mean, looking for housing, it's probably important to ask what parts are sketchier, but just walking around exploring, I don't think it's a situation where you desperately need to avoid areas.

New Market is nice super tiny. Seems like a nice town, but you're talking a population of like 5,000 9,000 and a tiny handful of bars and restaurants.

But I'm with you on Dover, New Market feeling a little more alive. Portland and Manchester both have the sad ghost-town vibe, like they used to be something much more than they are now.

I've had friends from out of state visit Portland with the same reaction. Saying it was a cool town, but they were wondering where all the people were. They both feel like they should have way more people out and about.

I'd go bigger and try out a big city. 30's the age to do it. I know for New England, Portland, Manchester, etc, are cities, but anywhere else on the east coast they'd be considered tiny cities or big towns.

That said, from what I've seen of Manchester, it looks much better than most places in NH to be single at 30.

It has nice spots and plenty of bars and restaurants, but as a city, it's definitely on the sad run down side.

Check google for what's around you, if hours are questionable on google, just call and ask if they'll be open. Don't have high standards. NH has a few small cities in the southern portion with nightlife. Outside of that, it's very sparse.

Also, Lift and Uber is sparse even in its cities, and its DUI laws are strict (you can get a DUI below .08), so make sure you have a DD and stay safe.
