Reply to New peeps by Practical-Study-8508

This won't help really, but I started a New Hampshire discord to socialize. (Wasn't happy with the other options out there) It's still very new but let me know if you'd like an invite

Reply to hello, after living almost 8 years in NH , we are moving to AZ. bittersweet feelings. I am sad to leave our beautiful NH. anyone else moving out of state? do you have the same feelings of missing out on the mountains and the NE summer? by crazycurious7

Hell, I live only 5 minutes from the border and I miss the Whites terribly (dealing with osteoarthritis in my knees and I am not really that much of a winter hiker). 2020 was the worst, though. I may live south of the border, but am definitely not a Masshole - I respected the rules about not coming up!

Reply to I was out of my rental for 11 days out of 14 day billing cycle yet somehow I used $105 kWh? by kskdjdjslsldldld

Either the last meter read was estimated, the wiring is messed up and they’re billing you for neighbors’ usage, or your electric heat stays at a safety temperature (50-55F) when you set it “off,” so some idiot tenant doesn’t freeze the pipes when they leave. My money’s on the last one, personally. Electric heat thermostats are pieces of shit that lie to you.

I hope you’re happier where you’re at now. I love VT personally. I’m up there almost every weekend in winter.

But there’s plenty of things to bitch about there if you look for the negativity in everything. Wherever you go, there you are… It’s very remote. There aren’t as many jobs. Taxes are high. Tourists are fucking stupid. AirBnB is a plague.

The Alabama-tucky thing is funny, coming from someone who just moved to a state which is substantially more rural. Parts of NH are only 30 miles from Boston.

I thought about moving to VT but proximity to work and family keep me here. The two states aren’t really that different. How could they be? It’s at most 100 miles to the border from any point.

Vermont doesn’t have a Manchester, but it does have a Barre and a Rutland, with similar problems. Both states have less desirable places for any given person.

It’s obviously not the same as NH, but after the wet season y’all have had, I’m sure everything is spectacularly lush and green in the hills if you get out of the concrete jungle. Wildflowers should be wild this spring.

Not the parent comment, but I imagine it has to do with the town they’re landing in. They’re naming states because there’s only one family moving from NH to Boise or whatever right now and they don’t wanna dox themselves.

Montana doesn’t have a Boise. Billings is a shithole. You can’t afford Bozeman unless you’re a white collar criminal. Most of Montana is extremely remote, in a way that’s hard to imagine as an east coaster. Even the furthest reaches of Coos County has easy access to civilization (and airports) by comparison.

Idaho has the largest concentration of white supremacists of any state. It’s full of religious nutjobs. NH is the most secular state in the country. It’s really nothing like NH IMO. I’d probably pick Oregon or Washington as the most New Hampshirey overall. Just leave their largest city out of it. Manchester isn’t very New Hampshirey either, after all.

Culturally, I’d pick Nevada as the most similar. They arguably deserve the state motto more than we do. There’s even a little sliver of the state by Tahoe that has the mountains, pine trees, and snow. More snow than you’ve ever seen, actually.

The food and beer being good is definitely a recent thing. It’s not nostalgia. Craft beer blew up 10 years ago and restaurants in New England used to cater only to the blandest, whitest palates.

I’d never move to AZ in a million years, but missing the mountains? In Arizona? The Arizona with the Grand Canyon? They have way more impressive mountains out there! Did ChatGPT write this post?

Reply to comment by thenagain11 in Is Ohio toxic cloud heading our way? by granitestate6

I very much agree with CT DEEP's assessment that what we saw in CT is from other systems in the Southern Plains. Those particles lofted into the atmosphere are (depending on the exact size) very ideal as cloud condensation nuclei, which are particles that water vapor condenses to and form larger water droplets. These droplets then fall to the ground in larger storms, which we've seen a few times now. Given we've had a few predominant low-level SW flow regimes prior to this report, I'm even more convinced it's dust from the Plains.
