Trees looking very "heavy" and about 10 inches so far near gunstock.

Sorry for your loss! I was half joking in the first part of the post because we get these posts all the time. Why do you desire a change? I think that should be answered before moving here. NH is a really a mixed bag everywhere you go so you're going to have to be ok with it not meeting all the check boxes just like anywhere else. The major difference with the mixed bag is that most places to move to are so small that there's not much you're going to be able to change it other than driving really far to find another community. Instantly when you move here, you will be viewed as the outsider pariah as you can see from the comments on this post. Are you ok with dealing with that? The community stuff or quaint town feel isn't a given and you'll have to work and deal with ppl for possibly decades before you get what you think you want in that area. As a transplant myself, i'm just telling you the writing on the wall before you get here. If you're going to be isolationists, then expect to be treated as such. Thankfully where we moved, we already knew a ton of ppl and have been heavily involved in a ton of ways but we see these dynamics play out in a lot of places.

You were so close to being self aware.

3 inches in plymouth no power outage yet

Got about 6 on the back steps in Manchester but it’s still coming down pretty steady. No lost power

I don't get why you're getting downvoted, but whatevs. It's nowhere near as windy here as Wyoming. And every year the winter gets more mild.

Which is compounded by the need for land/homeowners to give permission to cut down problematic trees/branches.

10-12” in weare at around 10 this morning

"We are generally liberal leaning people..."

I'd suggest Vermont, particularly the Waitsfield area. It's close enough to Burlington and I-89. It's kind of a close, secluded community surrounded by mountains and the Mad River.

We’re big fans of Xiao Long Bao. There are a few places in Portland, ME we frequent:

• Sichuan Kitchen
• Empire Kitchen

Both are on Congress, walking distance to each other. Sichuan has some amazing, authentic Sichuan food as well (hot).

It’s crazy how much a difference there is north/south of the bridge.

About 9 here on my deck in Chester

It's called the absurd situation in America that we have never muscled up and spent the money to bury the power lines. It looks so goddamn third world after you come back from a place in Europe. There has always been all sorts of whining from the public service companies, and politicians in a zillion reasons why this or that can't be done, but of course it is done all over the place and everybody benefits. It's a very expensive process to do initially but not only are the lines more secure underground, but then the roads are a thousand times more beautiful without them polesand then the constant problem of downlines every time the weather farts. It's amazing how advanced and how incredibly awkward America is in some things

Been in New Hampshire almost ten years. This is the first winter we haven’t lost power once. 🤷‍♀️

Dover looking at maybe 4-6” so far

A coworker in Springfield, VT shared that a relative near Exit 2 off I-91 had 22" an hour ago.

I was thinking about checking out TJ's or Whole Foods to see what they had to offer. Thanks for the tip!

2". Afraid to knock wood and curse myself.

I agree with this statement. The past year has been unusual

Crazy. I’m like 20 minutes away and have over a foot

Agreed. The only time underground makes sense is in densely populated areas where utilities and ground composition allows it.

This isn't the same but Trader Joe's sells soup dumplings that are good in a pinch!

Just measured -16 inches Peterborough.
