>I’m embarrassed that we have to talk about the cold weather in New Hampshire!

We don’t need to.

People from MA have infiltrated the state and the subreddit and MUST tell everyone else how to live their lives at every chance they get.

Keep bringing the downvotes and proving my point.

Look, I'm perfectly content with letting everyone do what they please, that's what makes the state great. My concern is 1) this airmass is extremely unusual, 2) most people have never experienced chills like what we expect in the Whites, & 3) we've already had fatalities in the Whites from people (sadly all from MA) who come to enjoy the Whites, are massively underequipped, and don't bother to get good forecasts. If I can help save a few lives with this info, I've done my job.

Holy hell. What a complex that must be. It is your job to make sure that people live.

If someone is dumb enough to go hiking in these conditions, they get what they deserve. My only issue is that they should suspend all search and rescue efforts during these sort of temperatures.

Providing accurate and understandable weather forecasts absolutely saves lives, it's irrefutable. I mean, look at how many people were killed in the Blizzard of 1978 to Hurricane Ian in 2022.

I agree with you that all SAR should be suspended in this.

So the 10 posts prior to yours about the same cold weather weren't enough to change people's minds, but you have single handedly saved lives. Truly doing God's work out there kid, keep up the good work.

I grew up in New Hampshire in the 70s and 80s. During one of the big blizzards we jumped out of the second floor bathroom window into the snow drift and dug a tunnel to the driveway.

And this shit is still really fucking cold, you talking trucker hat.

Nailed it.

Heck, this isn't even extreme weather if you're prepared for it. Sure, it's not North Dakota, but I could have sworn New Hampshire was a state that saw winter from time to time. Not to mention, it warms up to darn near 40 on Monday.

Many positive comments, but the downvotes continue. I swear this site is no different than twitter. More than half of the users are just bots.
