I'm with you. Just moved to NH about 4 months ago and confused why this is such a topic of conversation for like 5 straight days now. It's gonna be cold. We get it. It snows in Dallas and people aren't in this much of a tizzy.

Thank you for sharing this!!

Is this the first time its been cold in New Hampshire? Genuinely curious because of all the places I've lived this is the only subreddit where I've had to see 19 posts about it being cold over a weekend

Then you missed

"The “LEAP” model used by the consultants (Energy Futures Group of Hinesburg), which was developed by the Stockholm Environment Institute and funded by the Swedish government, plus numerous environmental groups and renewable energy proponents, is available to the public. But the actual data assumptions used by the consultants and the results produced by the LEAP model are not.

The Ethan Allen Institute’s recent open records request to the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources turned up nothing. According to the agency, the data used for all of the modeling and the detailed results were not part of the “deliverables” from the consultants who wrote the action plan. Thus no independent review of the costs and supposed benefits is possible. "

The key part of the article is the writer is EX-Planner for VT Dept of Energy. The most significant part of Vermont’s energy policy was creating a Utility for Energy Efficiency. It is estimated that Vermonters will save a billion dollars in energy they will not use because of the Utility’s work.

Good luck

What it looked like when the house was still there...

Yay

2021: Successfully created a phase out plan for the I&D tax

2023: Hey let's scratch that and raise taxes

Asshats

I'm far from wealthy. It was nice this year writing a smaller check as we're on the 4% year of the phase out.

These temperatures are frightening. I'll never forget hiking in Vermont at -17. I was dressed appropriately, but had to reload the film in my camera which required me to remove my gloves. In the 2 minutes that my hand was exposed, it went completely numb.

We had -20 degrees (air temp, not wind chill) in early 2018. I don't even think that we're getting there in my town this tonight or this weekend. I plan to go for a walk tonight when it gets down to -30 windchill.

They're not.

Holier than thou folks are just being their typical selves.

It's a balmy 72 in the house right now heating with the wood stove. It will be over 60 in the house when I wake up. Other portions of the house, such as the basement, is heated by other sources.

It's just cold and wind. Prepare accordingly and have a great time.

The state crews are salting the roads as some of the wind blown snow froze on the roads earlier.

I'm not a freestater. I agree with them on occasion, but I'm not one of them. Strike one.

I'm an engineer, which is basically a career built around a person's critical thinking skills. So, strike two.

Now you're saying the stay-at-home mothers were all adulterers? Seriously, wtf? Strike three.

You're out!

Kind of seems like you hate women.

Deep thoughts there bro

Nailed it.

Heck, this isn't even extreme weather if you're prepared for it. Sure, it's not North Dakota, but I could have sworn New Hampshire was a state that saw winter from time to time. Not to mention, it warms up to darn near 40 on Monday.

Yup, we learned that in chemistry class back in the 1970s.

I just got back from walking around outside. 1.75 miles, 29 minutes, wind chill -10. Skin temperature started at 80 degrees and dropped to 60.8 degrees. My toes were starting to get numb but the rest of my body was fine. My core was probably too warm as I was a bit overdressed. I want to go out at -20 and -30 just to see what it feels like. I'll have to use a flashlight as it will be dark when it gets to -30.

Reminds me of playing Frostpunk.....

Yeah cuz they never had boyfriends come over or husbands there right?

BTW you don't need a license for a home daycare under 4 kids.

You're a moron freestater who can't think critically.

PV = nRT

Providing accurate and understandable weather forecasts absolutely saves lives, it's irrefutable. I mean, look at how many people were killed in the Blizzard of 1978 to Hurricane Ian in 2022.

I agree with you that all SAR should be suspended in this.

No I didn't. How does what you quoted counter that initial conclusion?

Lol. I've done it for years and I've had some great results. 80k miles on a set of tires in New Hampshire. I also drive 100miles a day year round and never had to adjust the pressure once

>A temporary boom brought on predominantly through stock buybacks, which is what most of the richest corporations used that extra money for.

What does that have to do with NH? How many of the "richest corporations" are headquartered here?

​

>But hey, defund our government, send tons of money to private schools and lets all watch our property taxes go even higher.

Property taxes going higher is the opposite of defunding the government. Your own talking points contradict themselves.

I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale. Would you be interested in purchasing it?
