Yeah, especially the crueller French toast !

My experience is the Fort has good pie/desserts but their breakfast is very meh/average

For sure. On summer weekends it gets crowded, but worth the wait!

I lived in NH for 20ish years, lost power constantly. Lived in the metro Boston area for 10+ never lost power even once. We bought a house a few years ago back in NH, lost power within 2 days of moving here.

It’s an old grid and it’s all above ground. When it’s windy or snowy or super rainy, that screws with the power line. Whereas in Boston all of them are buried so it’s really rare.

That's hilarious. How the heck were rhododendrons even causing a problem unless they were encroaching the road, that's insane.

Most new developments are getting the lines buried, at least what I've seen. It's all the old lines are is simply not getting buried, too much work.

These are all ratings you can look up 🤷🏻‍♀️

We’re picking up a few minutes of sunlight a day. Shine on, nut job! LOL

Do you look outside at all? The roads are narrow and there are a shit ton of trees lining all the roads. Heavy snow and ice = power outages.

I live in a city and very rarely lose power. If you live in the boonies, buy a generator.

Enjoy the snow, and long winter.

The problem isn't supply. It's local lines being downed by trees. The project you are talking about wouldn't help.

Trees

What a strange thing to say lol. Have a good day, ma’am.

I sent you a dm!

Thanks - I knew I was getting details wrong.

Chasing off the road agent! That isn't messing around.

Whatever gets you off.

I’d also say this: I’m dating myself here. I remember when we got cable in the 80s. I’m pretty sure some of the town has that underground but a lot don’t. Same with fiber optic that tds put in a decade ago.

I’m not a fan of losing power. When er have a major event my road is often 5 days without. We got it back briefly yesterday for 40 minutes. When our first kid was born my parents gave us a generator for Christmas so we could keep the house warm when we lose power. It is what it is.

you know those power lines that NH keeps preventing hydro quebec from sending more power down south?

sure would be handy to have that power in the even of losing part of the grid!

This is the way.

Yeah, that ice storm pissed off enough people to light up their representatives and utilities to actually do a lot of tree trimming. I'm guessing it's been long enough since then that they've slacked off again.

Plymouth NH. 20 min or less from both major lakes region bodies (Newfound Lake, Squam) and 20 min from WMNF. Better year round population (and cheaper) than Lincoln. Nice downtown and all your major box stores/amenities. Bonus that it's 5 min from Tenney mountain for easy weekday laps (once they finally reopen).

Texas would like a word...

After losing power for 20 hours recently, I decided to get a generator to power the whole house. Bought a portable one and installed a 50 amp inlet going into my breaker box myself, with interlock to prevent backfeed. $1500 total.

The power company doesn't own the trees. They need permission to trim. If someone doesn't let them trim the tree they can't. The tree on your property is yours. So, When your power is out, blame your neighbor who's tree fell on the line. The only way to eliminate it would be to cut down every tree within 100' of a powerline. And that isn't going to happen with the environmentalist.

As far as the underground thing goes, it's the granite state. It would be so ridiculously expensive to put everything underground that it isn't going to happen. Also, when underground does go bad, and believe me, it does, finding and fixing the problem is its own special nightmare
