Reply to comment by margismith1111 in Southern NH is feeling like Spring today by margismith1111

Aside from the fact that NH relies heavily on winter tourism and this is devastating to the state economy… it’s also not a great sign of our future climate when we get progressively milder winters.

I think NH is evolving so that it is more than a state for winter sports

Despite the fact that we may have more to offer, we’re highly dependent on the roughly $1.5 billion that skiers, snowmobilers and ice fishermen bring into the state each year. That also doesn’t take into consideration the thousands of people employed by those industries, as well as those who rely on plowing, etc. as part of their income.

Other than you saving a few bucks on your heating bill and may not need to wear a jacket, having abnormally warm winters does far more harm than good to our state.

Cool, maybe the libertarians will have to start acknowledging the harm caused by unregulated carbon omissions output

Yeah, it’s evolving into a state for ticks, Airbnb owners, and other blood-sucking parasites.

Curious, what aspects of NH have, or are evolving, to move away from relying winter tourism/sports?
