It’s one of those things that are exceptionally region dependent. I lived in the Netherlands for example and all the power lines were underground due to sandy soil, power went out maybe once in the five years I was there. But I can tell you right now, NH soil sure isn’t like it was there!

And new residents are a very convenient bogeyman, it feels better, and is much, much easier for you to pin everything on them.

Dumping in dover. Started snowing around 6 am. My guess is 2-3 inches now. Wet heavy bs snow. The kind no one likes to play in.

5 inches of heavy wet snow in Merrimack. I cleared the driveway and one car about 30 minutes ago and am back in for a cup of coffee. I will go out and do the roof and the driveway again when I finish my coffee. I like to do a little at a time multiple times. No wind which is a surprise as I heard that we were expecting a lot of it. Heading for the gym after shoveling.

Nb born and raised. My dad still lives there. Anyone in nb knows storms like this always hit nb harder than g town or Milford due to the valley. We guessed 20-25 last night. The tractor will be getting a workout moving snow today!

This isn’t super cost effective in areas with exceptionally rocky ground like NH.

I disagree, the pricing out of locals is a well studied, understood, and documented phenomenon.

I hear that. My dogwood is touching the ground. :(

Wow bet y’all get 18+

I shall report from the other side!

You're making a lot of assumptions.

Yep. It's a bad one out here in NB

I lived in NH from 2009 to 2013 and only had the power go out once and it wasn’t weather related (squirrel ran into a transformer).

What’s going on there?

heavy snow in the dover area. wasn’t expecting snow, honestly thought it would be rain

8 - 10 inches on the ground and trees cracking everywhere in the woods of New Boston

4-5 inches in campton

I'd rather that you hadn't. Own your shit, to quote you, and understand the adverse impact you created on young people in our state.

Yeah, we stopped being tourists when we invested our hard earned dough into a home, taxes, supporting businesses, and being good neighbors.

Concord, snow coming down pretty fast. Didn't start until after 3am, and was mixed with rain for most of the first hour - might still be, going on what I'm hearing outside. Pasty slush on the roads, heavy wet stuff on trees. Plows are running. Probably have a few inches across the end of my driveway by now. That $60 hand plow has more than paid for itself already.

From your description northern MA like Haverhill or Andover would be better. If you want socializing, nightlife, etc.

I like tourists, I understand the role they play in our economy, I just don't like them moving here, reducing available housing, and pricing out the locals.

Just don't eat lunch

A nightmare! (Manch. NH)

Merrimack -- heavy wet snow and coming down hard. 4-5" so far. Plants and trees groaning under the weight, but no wind and power is still on.

Nashua, heavy wet snow
