Where would you move if...?

[TCE]

Most free state in the nation and cold weather six months out of the year vs. Income tax-laden, regulations filled, anti-liberty state and nice weather.


Hmm...

Hmm...

If i get cold i can start a fire, get a blanket, wear cloths, hot beverage, etc... If i live in a state that doesn't respect freedom but has nice weather i guess i can MOVE.

 

[WilliamShrugged]

the problem with new hampshire is the damn cold.

if it wasnt for that, it would be first on my list

You do realize that there is a thing called a heater? Kinda like that think i'm using here in hot ass Texas called a cooler.

I think the weather is better in southern NH than Houston or Atlanta. I do agree that the weather is better in HI or SoCal. Evn SoCal has fire season so no place in the US has perfect weather. Weather is subjective and I like have 4 seasons. I Los like that none of the seasons are crazy hot.

If someone hates cold weather, it is easy enough to have a 3 season cabin in NH or a mobile home in AL. Millions of Americans live like that. As was also suggested, we have clothes in NH. I actually had an outside job a couple winters ago and it was awesome. All of the free skiing I wanted!

I gladly trade the occasional hurricane for the every year sure snow shovel escapades. We have seasons here.. spring lasts around 10 days but it happens, and here on the panhandle, it does occasionally freeze.. just no throwing out of the back removing that white stuff. If I look out a window and see white on the ground.. it's sand.

Leaves and snow become less problematic when you take a "god put there, god will get rid of it" attitude.

Works great for me!



One pass with the "snowplow" is all it takes.

I love living in NH. Pro Tip: Try skiing a couple times. It's easy to learn and tons of fun. Then you'll look forward to winter

I grew up in Saratoga county NY. I am familiar with the climate. Brrrrrr

What if I just want to complain about the weather instead of doing something about it?

In all seriousness, I can imagine it isn't for everyone, but if things start to get worse, the cost-benefit analysis of trading nice weather for freedom changes. Is skiing easy to learn or does it take, you know, skill?

Skiing is not hard, it just takes some practice. Used skis cost very little at the big ski expos most of the ski areas have every year. A friend can teach you to ski if you are both patient. The bunny hills are free at many of the ski areas so the most expensive part of learning to ski is driving to the ski area Several times and having a beer after you practice skiing. There are often some really good deals and ski areas and some of the ski areas stay open until 2AM on weekends.

Snowshoeing is a lot of fun and free after you buy the snowshoes. Same with cross county skiing and sledding. Ice skating is also free once you buy the shoes. Last winter was a huge disappointment, though, as it didn't snow that much.

The best ATV trail in the eastern US is currently being built in NH if you have a lot of money, like to hang out with hicks or just like big, loud machines. http://www.newhampshire.com/article/20120902/NEWHAMPSHIRE0301/709029936/0/newhampshire

LMAO. Makes me laugh. Seeing all the people saying it's to cold.

What's more important Weather and 4-5 months of cold weather or Liberty & Freedom? Hello!

It's amazing the rest of the time.

Here in Texas it's cold a few months out of the year and then the oven is tunred on 110 for low bake the rest of the year.

Finally, smaller is better. Has to be a place where population is not huge and we can make change and influence others quickly.

 

[Captain Shays]

I almost doesn't matter where you live when the economy collapses and things break loose. All you need to know is who will fight beside you so that you and your family won't be taken to some FEMA camp

 

[KMX]

Agreed.

Get to New Hampshire ASAP!

 

[Captain Shays]

I don't think it's too cold in NH or MT. My wife does. I might die for liberty but I would also die without her by my side. We need a place thats warm to fight for liberty

 

[seyferjm]

If you want warmer, maybe southern Indiana would be a good choice? It's not FSP free, but it beats a lot of other places.

 

[Captain Shays]

We don't want to be so far from the ocean. South Carolina is looking better and better. We know people there who love liberty

 

[KMX]

New Hampshire is not always cold.... and it has a beach. It's also called you can travel.

 

[Captain Shays]

Man! You really want us up there in NH don't you? OK Will travel there next year to show my wife and get her take on it. New Jersey winters suck really bad too and after two and three years ago when we had terrible winters here, we were both ready for some sunshine

 

[tremendoustie]

Try living in Illinois, you will appreciate Indiana. There are essentially tiers of freedom and there is a bit of a drop between New Hampshire and every other state. As far as your earlier comment regarding New Hampshire, if you move to the northern part of the state, it is pretty open and more sparsely populated. The biggest city in northern New Hampshire is Concord at around 45,000 people, so it's not too big.

I wouldn't consider Concord to be northern NH. Berlin and Lebanon are the largest cities truly in the north, with 10,000 and 13,000 people, respectively.

In coos county, there are more than 30 acres per person -- lots of space.

 

[tremendoustie]

I also had an opportunity to visit NH before, but I was only in Middle School. Concord was nice, Manchester was meh and the rural areas were to my liking; I never made it N. of Concord but I just did a little background Geography of areas north of there and I like what I see. Perhaps I misjudged?

I agree, concord's ok, Manchester's meh, and the rural areas of NH (which can be found well within short commutes of cities) are the best places to live (bucolic, beautiful). Portsmouth is great -- awesome restaurants and pubs, beautiful seacoast, etc. The lakes region, and the mountains further to the north, are gorgeous. Nashua's under-appreciated, and has a great jobs market.
