My spouse and I moved from Western CO to NH. We had to leave and escape the wildfires. The Pine Gulch fire in 2020 just outside Grand Junction where we were living at the time was the last straw for me. It’s burned down the neighborhood in the town over where we were planning on buying a home.

My wife’s family is from Denver. There’s a possibility that we’ll be moving out there at some point soon-ish. I like Denver a lot, spent tons of time there, but I miss the nature of NH every time. Areas around Denver have some beautiful nature of course, but it just doesn’t feel the same way. (Also. It is so dry. SO DRY.) The food choices in Denver are wayyyy better though, lol.

My wife and I grew up in NH, but spent 5 years in Tucson while I was in the AF. Arizona is gorgeous, and it snows in the mountains in Flagstaff and the main mountain in Tucson. When I retired it was a tough decision where we'd move back to between the 2 states.

I live in Northern Arizona, grew up in Vermont. I miss northern New England, but I am quite happy here. You'll definitely be able to get your fill of snow most years visiting the mountains of Northern Arizona.

It’s really never as bad as you think it’s gonna be, lived there basically my entire life and never ran into a rattle snake. Never lived in a place that had scorpion problems. Would have the occasional black widow/brown recluse but you just gotta watch where you’re going.

This thread is literally an exercise in confirmation bias. It’s happening in every state “downwind” of the derailment. Shit I’ve seen people in like Arkansas, Florida and the Carolina’s “experiencing” these same exact phenomena when the weather pattern out of Ohio wouldn’t have brought any potential pollutants anywhere near them. You can see it in the comments here. People from the same town, one person says they smell something odd and have “residue” on their car and another person in the same town not having the same observation. I’d only be concerned if there was a consensus from every single person along a definable path that directly correlates with the weather pattern.

A short drive up to Boscawen, and you can hop on the Northern Rail Trail - a beautiful hard packed trail that goes 52 miles one way out to Lebanon. There are trailheads with parking all along the trail and great country roads both paved and dirt/gravel to explore off the trail.
