You'll be just fine. Maybe start the car and let it warm up before you leave.

I'm kind of amazed (and kind of not amazed) that the college didn't retrofit these buildings.

Dark green is confirmed - even though many in NH were born there.

Yeah, do your groceries today or tomorrow. Not saying you'll have no access to food, but you're probably going to want to get comfy inside Friday.

In the late 70s & early 80's electric heat was all the rage. By the late 80's people wanted nothing to do with it, and it was being ripped out.

Actually that’s a good point, maybe all these are just second place to Florida

The crazy numbers are wind chill / "real feel". The -11 is the low for the actual temperature.
Might seem stupid at first, but as far as how dangerous it is, and how miserable it'll be outside, there's a huge difference between a low temperature and a low temperature with high winds.

I think it’s hard to look at someplace so different when you’re still in your current environment and understand or appreciate it fully. You’d probably be able to make a better decision and know if the architecture (which we are proud of) suits you or not. Places grow on people once they have a home and friends there so maybe it will work for you. So many people outside of New England don’t appreciate the things that we really love about it and that just rubs people the wrong way here when it’s criticized.
And to answer your original question, assuming it was sincere, yes, there are new houses here but most are built in the older styles (colonial, Victorian, farm house) to compliment what’s already here. If you’re looking for those plain, functional, and lifeless neighborhoods of cookie cutter houses that you see in the rest of the country, you’re not likely to find it here.

Of course. I’m just a fool who pissed off a subreddit online. Not a total hapless moron. I like the way the towns look quite a bit. In person I get along with most ppl and travel a lot. But yes a long visit is appropriate. It just blew my mind that every single neighborhood looks the same. Maybe an adjusted and finer eye starts to appreciate some nuance.

There’s more to New England than hiding from global warming. You don’t sound like you’d be very happy with our architecture and, probably, not the culture. Have you been here? I mean you’d be welcome if you were coming for the right reasons but move here and start complaining about things and you won’t make many friends or probably be very happy. Come up with an open mind and an honest interest in taking on and understanding why things are the way they are here and you’ll be fine. Just don’t plan on it being at all like where you are now, and architecture is only scratching the surface. Maybe visit a while?

Thanks. I have to drive at 6am Saturday and I’m scared to death after seeing so much about this situation. Bought a portable car battery charger but concerned my face is gonna fall off from windchill factors or something

Do you also pop up and say "who cares, they do one of those every year" when people bring up the Super Bowl? It doesn't have to be a once in a lifetime event to be noteworthy. It doesn't have to be shocking. Literally no one is claiming that it is except the people you're imagining you're talking to.

You have to skate to where the puck is going my friend. Looks like NH has one of the most mild winters in history to date. Massive fires and poor air quality out west OK record days above 100F this summer. Many days above 110 which is unreal here.
By 2050 NH should feel pretty nice. Yes many environmental problems but way less than elsewhere….
