It's my fault. I finally bought a season's ski pass.

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.

margismith1111 OP t1_j29pbl0 wrote

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

RisksRewardsRelics t1_j29rlq5 wrote

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?

Well it's devastating news for the climate. It just shouldn't be like this right now. Especially on the back end of a severe drought all summer, it's a tad bit ominous as to where we're heading

For one, it’s terrible for the moose population. They’re dying with an estimated million+ ticks on them

Hope you enjoy the ticks. They come out at my place whenever it gets above 40

I like that the choices are enjoy being cold or enjoy being bit by ticks

Southern and Northern NH big difference, seems like two states.

Yes definitely once you get past Concord

It’s still southern NH until you get past the Notch.

Depends. Where I am in a small pocket in southern NH, it is very rural, no highway access nearby. I think I might buy a house here, but I'm thinking about the future and wanting to be away from future developments.

Yes, it's hard to tell the best place to live because there is so much going on in NH

The way single family housing zoning mandates force developments to spread farther and farther out. This reality might be difficult to achieve unless your wealthy enough to afford to live that far.

So true, I took my bike out and once I got past Goffstown I was freezing.

2 months ago when it dropped to 55 everyone was bitchin’ about how cold it was.

Funny how your outlook changes after a long freeze

"Long freeze" you mean like a week or two?

Thanks for the 9 feet of snow. Everyone knows winter starts in January around here and doesn't end until sometime in April

Lived in Vermont in the mid- to late-2000s. This is a trash winter. It was a trash fall. Way too hot and erratic.

Relish it while it lasts, friends. Winter's biting chill will be back upon us soon enough.

I mean we are the only state who has winter sports during the summer apparently.

I just want to add that winter is taking a short vacation this week

All those times I said "wouldn't be great if there was a few warm days in winter"? Well here we are.

I was telling myself it was late March and winter was done. I wish it was so.
