    Couple of questions for you on this:

    1) When you say "interior" is that simply away from the coast, or is it more defined with regard to Northern, Southern and Central New England?  I know those areas require annual definitions and imagine as the first snows start falling the maps clarifying that will come out.  I could use a refresher myself...

    2) I recall one winter when my brother and I trekked through some deep snows in the woods in our backyard.  Based on some milestones we both remember, he's thinking it was 1987 or 1988.  Mostly because he thinks it was "around the time we got Simon's Quest and The Adventure of Link" :D.  I feel like we were in easily 12-24" of snow but we were kids and it could've been less, but still reasonably deep.  We were living near MHT at the time.  Was the only real chance for this January of 1987 or could it have been 1988?

    Jan of '87. I was in the MHT area then, and there was a solid 2'+ pack that Jan into Feb

    Yes....if all anyone remembers is the good periods, then they aren't aware of the bad ones except maybe in theory or in the abstract. It's the same phenomenon growing up when we had to all listen to our parents wax poetic on how it always snowed all the time and there were no bad winters...."yeah no shit mom, you grew up during the one period in recorded history where there were 17 consecutive winters that didn't have below average snowfall".

    back when I was a kid, the snowbanks were always wicked tall!! 2 reasons for that:

    1. I was a kid, and everything was taller than me

    2. The snowplows didn't have the side wings to push the snowbanks back and out.

    Where are folks getting these delusional ideas about bitter cold shots, freezes and a cold Nov coming? I mean there’s nothing that shows any of that . Sure there’ll be a fake frost in spots Tuesday . Other than that warm rules roosts

    that's true of all real estate 

    NH has the 4th highest property tax rate in the country 

    now compare property values

    my theory is this: the lower property values cancel out the higher property taxes. In other words, a 2k sf house in NH cost the same as a 2k sf house in MA (all other things being equal)

    Does NH have some kind of current-use/open space tax system?  We have 80 acres and 79 are in Maine's Tree Growth Tax Law status and our taxes are ~$275/year.  (80th acre slightly more, ~$1,600, as our house sits on it.)  TGTL requires a management plan prepared by a Maine-licensed forester, and should one later wish to withdraw and build houses, there's a significant penalty that gets costlier the longer one has been under TGTL.

    yes, NH has current use-but I think it is a minimum of 10 acres. I only have 5

    before you jump think about the property taxes, very high in NH

    that's not really accurate. it totally depends on the location, the town it is in, and the "usability" of the land. I own 5 acres of land-locked land (not accessible from a road, but through another property). I pay around $500/year for taxes. I access it through abutting neighbors property with deeded permission.

    For every hundred acorns in your yard you get 1” of snow.

    I look forward to my 50 foot depth this winter. because i have removed several million acorns from my yard over the past 8-10 weeks. every time it is windy, tons fall from the trees. I clean them up thinking-there can't be any more left in the tree. And then a week later, there are even more than there were before.

    Mowed yesterday. Almost got arrested for rolling around nude on the lawn. However, waking up to leaves on a freshly mowed yard is triggering.

    i expect leaves to be on the lawn the day after. but what really triggers ME is when I am mowing and the wind blows them from where I have not yet mowed into the grass that i already mowed. The other trigger is after i get the front yard cleaned up and move to the back yard-by the time I am done in back I have to do the front yard again.
