I gave a presentation at one of our planning board meetings for about 15 minutes over an abutter cutting down a bunch of our trees.

Our town has the meetings and the other town meetings on YouTube so that anyone can watch them. They have a staff of 3 to do the video work and the room where most town meetings are held has a lot of special AV equipment to do records. School Board meetings are done in classrooms or gyms so the quality of the video isn't as good but it is available.

Again if you think that is normal weather you are just plain wrong. Alaska has different weather then us... You really do seem clueless.

Properly sized equipment is not sized for extreme weather. If you design your ac here for 100 degree weather and heat for -20 your systems are oversized. Your system kept up? Good for you, enjoy wasting money on the poor efficiency of your oversized system 99% of the heating season. If you need to be at 70 during the extreme ends of our temp range then it's wise to have an auxiliary heat source

> You think -15f and 20 mph wind is normal?

Yes. It's cold. It's below average. It's not extreme. It's a northern New England state-cold is normal.

There were a few -12s here in the Lakes Region last year and much colder further north. It was -18 yesterday morning. Zero problems with any heat. I spent four years living in Alaska-another state which is supposed to get cold. Never had a problem with the heat despite colder temps than yesterday.

Not all of the sub lives on the MA border.

I can't figure out if you're on the repair side and giving kickbacks to the sales people for selling undersized stuff or the other way around.

If your heat is not keeping up with normal weather and the house is appropriately insulated, there is a problem. It may not be something is malfunctioning-it could be a mistake when buying an undersized system.

NH has water in abundance this year whereas the west and parts of the south has been in drought for many years. The midwest and south have had tornado and severe storm problems and the Southeast has hurricanes to deal with. New England has cold weather, snow and ice storms sometimes but those are fairly straightforward to deal with.

It was to test us to see if we would react, it took us so long to shoot it down so they deemed us a weak country now

Also possibly for scanning the u.s. to see the best spot for dropping emp bombs to wipe out our electrical grid.

This is correct. It is highly unlikely we'll ever see under 4 percent rates again in our lifetime. I was disappointed when I closed on my first house last year at 5 percent, until I realized historically that's still quite low. It wasn't uncommon to see 8 - 12 percent interest rates not too long ago.
