Jealous. We're supposed to get a coating to rain down here in MA. I think the news said we are about 28 inches below average for snowfall this year.

I was class of '04 as well! You're right about the urban sprawl. A lot more condos and apartments squeezing in. I mean even Bedford lately just seems so damn busy. More stores too which is nice but, it's certainly generated more traffic than ever before.

I bet everyone who has a plow truck already has the coffee brewing, full tanks of gas, and the strobes are already on!

I've been feeling bad for all the entrepreneurs in NH,VT, and ME. because so many depend on the snow as income. From skiers, snowmaking, sled dogs, snowshoeing, etc. I hope March brings them all some much needed income.

Originally coming from a small North Woods community who grew up in a family owned restaurant no snow = no money. I hope the ❄️ gives them a boost

Although 20,000 people (sounds small), it has a big impact in NH. Most of these people are concentrated in the 1 hour drive to Boston portion of the state. I know in the Seacoast region prices remain high because inventory is very low.

Vet tech in NH here: most vets will recommend year round preventatives because you never know when the weather will reach a temperature that they’ll come out of dormancy (ie: the crazy ass weather we’ve been having). This includes heartworm prevention too, as mosquitoes can be as resilient (I’ve seen them in my home a few times mid winter) and hw prevention only stays in their system for a few days to kill off any possible baby worms (microfilaria). If you skip a dose or two and they managed to get it in the interim, your dog will have to be treated for it and it’s NOT cheap like in the south….

TL; DR: year round prevention is best. For both fleas/ticks and heartworm

Bonus: most preventative companies will compensate you if you are regular about giving your preventions and they still manage to get a tick borne disease or heartworm.

Definitely not going to be NH. Lol I'm sure Ohioans will be developing new x-mutant powers soon... It would probably be either Ohio or some weird western state with a large meth usage. 😂

If you don’t watch Ryan Hall Y’all he does great long range forecasting. He also happens to love snow. He had another video talking about the arctic air mass splitting up and causing a cold and potentially snowy March. Let’s hope!

I highly recommend watching his channel. His shows won’t be about NH or New England weather, unless there is a notable weather event in the area.

Thanks for this, this will be our first winter storm ever since moving from Florida. We are in Laconia so lucky us! I guess I’ll be making a quick grocery run in the morning so there’s absolutely no need to go anywhere.
