Don't get me wrong, Petersham does just fine...esp those high spots around 1100 feet...but probably not quite as well as the spine to the east side. If you want fairly secluded but still basically jackpot, then I'd recommend Ashburnham down toward Westminster and Princeton (west side up over 1000 feet) That axis does very well...just don't pay attention to whinminster's posts, lol. Grafton/westborough are going to really start getting noticeable for loss of snow retention versus all these other spots we mention....they still do well but they will not hold the snow nearly as well as north/west side of ORH and up through all those other towns. Agree on all. At the end of the day, I know Petersham and Ashburnham will be ruled out based on distance. Having come from older homes though, I think the newer 1900-1930 classics in ORH are hard to beat. From an architectural standpoint, they are just fantastic.

You would get much more bang for your buck in Worcester if you are into older architecture. You could always commute Lunenburg, the slant stick, snow capital of MA.

Hoth Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Another day with dews in the mid-seventies. Who needs rain? Plants can practically absorb the moisture they need through osmosis at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 82/72 up here. Continues to be an impressive summer for dews. We got down to 65F last night but BTV had it's usual sustained 7-10kt southerly flow overnight keeping them in the mid-70s all night. That's like the NNE version of the trade winds.

Getting 1900-1930 vintage would feel like a contemporary compared to our prior homes. FYI--we're going to be having a moving sale next weekend (I think) in case you have any interest.

wxeyeNH Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 With the exception of a couple of 67/8F dews in Maine and NH everyone in New England has dews 70F and above. Pretty impressive for September without some tropical system nearby. This is what Labor Day out to be. A good old fashion summer day. Fine with me as it ends right now. Meanwhile later today it will be a southbound mass exodus of those Southern New Englanders. Back to the normal traffic going by our house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From an architectural standpoint, they are just fantastic. Yeah those older homes in ORH are tough to beat if you're into the architecture. Stay on the west side or north side of the city though if possible for the weather. It can often be like night and day when comparing the northwest side to places like Webster square or downtown...it shows up in the retention a lot more too. Though no matter where you go, the retention won't be as good as where you were in shelburn. Ashburnham could prob beat it out but you said that was too far. North side of Holden is a good spot that is still close to ORH but your inventory of older style homes is lower. But there's a few older colonials around in those towns. Probably not nearly as many victorians though like you get in ORH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
