Minimum of 8” just SW of Concord, and the projected total keeps going up.. girding up to snowblow the driveway before it’s like.. 10 feet deep.

My best guess is Saigon Market in Manchester- I keep meaning to go there and look but havent gotten around to it yet.

Bow, lost power at 5 pm, had it back for an hour, been out since. Apparently trees and lines are blocking roads everywhere here.

Edit: i have an idea, may be dumb, but.. do you have a propane grill or anything? Heat water that way for the tank?

The president of the snowmobile club has declared there will never be beavers there again.

I think the houses are elevated such that a pond the size that it was would not inundate them in any way.

Yup.

Just to clarify, “downstream” is a protected, Prime wetland and there are no people in that direction.

Their vocal representatives keep trying to argue they were “restoring” the natural environment because it was a stream.. in the 1960’s. 🙄

Resident of Bow, attended the post-destruction town meeting, involved in other town groups as well. The snowmobile club has shown basically zero regrets, posted on Facebook about how awesome they are and everyone should love them, and are basically a pile of asshats who knew what they were about to do, did an endrun around the town and regulations, and have absolutely no respect for anyone.

The town select board was largely unaware of what they were voting on- only the Town Manager said he knew what the work would entail, the other selectboard members did not know it would involve removing the dam entirely, draining the pond, and trapping and killing the beavers. Most people, selectboard and others, were unaware and/or misled that “removing debris” actually meant removing the whole dam and draining the pond.

They trapped and killed them.

Resident of bow: the beavers were trapped and killed.
