Thank you for your service 🫡☁️

She is a software dev so she works remotely, mostly. But she does ride in the snow.

They’re different than ocean state though. The closest I can find is this place in Derry

Oooo following!

Ocean State Job Lot has several NH locations

I couldn't find much, just that it's $8 per the application: https://www.dmv.nh.gov/sites/g/files/ehbemt416/files/inline-documents/dsmv450.pdf. She might have to just call the DMV.

Out of curiosity I looked up CO and they too require some form of license for a moped (or low powered scooter as they call it): "Owner/Operator must possess a valid driver license or minor driver license (42-2-103(2)(a) C.R.S.)."

I guess it's doable if she has a job that doesn't mind if she's absent every snow day, or within walking distance

This might be a dumb question, but what do the + signs on your map represent? I live very close to that one to the right of Lake Sunapee.

Never seen a moped license, but most people I know with a moped have a regular drivers license. NH has moped plates, the whole process is done through the DMV -- extremely cheap to register them too. Definitely call the DMV and inquire there, best way to do it. Theres a moped shop in Portsmouth too, Port City Mopeds, and you could ring them and ask if they might know, but better off just calling the DMV.

ah okay

No, it is worse than manch where she is moving.

Good question! The impact scale is geared towards how I'd expect most people to react here:

Low: Travel is manageable with proper precautions

Moderate: Travel is degraded, proactive road treatment on primary roads will offer some improvement

High: Travel is severely degraded, regardless of road treatment

Major: Travel is essentially impossible, regardless of road treatment

I imagine there’s better public transport or Uber/Lyft support out there though, no?

As always, love the forecast and your analysis. However, can you explain/clarify your descriptions on the commute/travel impact. What is low impact? Meaning drivers should be fine with caution? Moderate = go slower. ? Etc. For future forecasts.

The way the storm is shaping up it seems Tuesday afternoon will be terrible to drive in.

Thanks again

She survived CO winters so… it isn’t really my choice to tell her otherwise I am just trying to help her when she gets here.

Your friend doesn’t seem too smart if she thinks she’s gonna survive a New Hampshire winter without a car…

Rain goes to steady & heavy wet snow any time beyond 10-11A Tuesday. Given banding may overpower the higher sun angle there, I'd recommend against travel to/from there.

So commuting from Hooksett to Chelmsford on Tuesday… is it worth it? Will it be shit all day?

This will be fun with a lot of votes/town meetings happening Tuesday.

Stay out of NH. Move to Massachusetts, it will better suit you.

Oh, not at all? You can’t think of even ONE reason why you need to monitor your border?

No need to respond bc I see you are on the extreme and there is no rationalizing anything with someone on an extreme, regardless of the issue or side you are on.

“The average total salary for a Border Patrol Agent is $105,500 per year. This is based on data from 2,134 TurboTax users who reported their occupation as Border Patrol Agent and includes taxable wages, tips, bonuses, and more.”

I looked up the average pay of a border patrol agent, not specific to NH and that’s what it came back with. I did see the figure you presented when I specified it to NH… regardless, my point is not about what a border patrol agent makes and how well off they are, it’s that $1.5M does not get you much these days. Also, that may be their pay, but their benefits are not included and with a state or federal position, that can be quite a bit. They trade off pay for pensions and good healthcare etc. it’s not simply what they get in their paycheck.

I do not have a vacation home. I own a 3br 1.5br ranch in sNH on less than a quarter acre. The avg home in NH is $440k. My house is nothing special, believe me and it’s worth just slightly more than the avg NH home. We are talking funding that is equivalent to my house and that of my two neighbors. Again, not much. I could have bought the whole neighborhood for $1.5M 30 years ago.

I don’t think there is some imminent threat at the border. But you also can’t just neglect it.
