In 1936 my state in the northern Great Plains had -58 in the winter and 120 in the summer. That must have been a horror show in the Dirty Thirties/Great Depression. We didn't reach 120 again until 2006 and haven't gotten down that low, let alone in one year. I think all the northern states east of the Rockies have similar winter conditions as NH, with varying amounts of snow. 110 and up with a dry heat is still HOT, no matter what people would like you to believe. A gusty wind blowing dirt onto your sunscreen gives a gritty feel no ad ever mentions. :) There is someone here to complain about every season lasting too long. What I wonder is how I would do with less sun. I tend to be sleepy on cloudy days and not achieve as much.
It’s just a fact, which is why I didn’t make any of the points in this video a pro or a con. That’s for each individual to decide for themselves. Thank you for watching!

I have 19 States to go in my travels, but right now New Hampshire is by far my favorite; been up there every year for the last 9 during Fall and Winter. I know it totally crushes my current home state, the cesspool Maryland
Really enjoying your vids on NH Jenn I plan on moving that way next year I gotta be honest I'm intimidated by the thoughts of winter my friend who lives in upstate New York was saying I'll need a tractor with a plow and a 4x4 truck. Having lived in California for 40+ years I think this will be quite a adventure.
It will be an adventure! I have lived here my whole life and never owned a truck, but it is something that comes in very handy. There are plenty of resources out there to hire a plow if needed. It may also depend on where you intend on living and how well the roads are plowed/salted. Thanks for watching!
I'm so excited to move there in a few years. We bought 5 acres in Thornton with the intention to build our dream house there when my husband retires from the USAF. I can hardly wait!!!
@@NHHomeandHustle Aww.brain waves, Jenn.I was screaming out of joy yesterday night while seeing the video. I wish to buy that home if available in the future. I am a poetess myself but not anywhere close to the Great Mr. Frost. He was and will be my favourite throughout in my life.
Team Pro! We are from Texas but hoping to move to New Hampshire next year. Can't wait to actually have 4 seasons. We hate the weather here in Texas. One week it's winter and the next it's summer lol 😆
Just move here From Texas. it is beautiful Nashua everywhere except to many homeless people downtown Manchester. But other than that beautiful and lots of places to see. 😊
Moving New Hampshire beware of ticks, everybody’s got Lyme disease the worst state in the nation on ticks. Even my dog has Lyme disease I moved out of there. Don’t miss that state at all have fun, paying the property taxes too. That’ll kill you.
I prefer small state with 4 season weather. Hoping to live & work there in the near future though the probability is very low as I'm from the Philippines.
I love New England. I’m planning a move to Canterbury, NH. I’ve taken multiple road trips to New Hampshire all the way from south Florida. I’ve been all over the place. There’s only 13 states I haven’t been to yet. New England, is such an adorable region. I can’t see myself calling any other place, Home! New Hampshire is where the heart is.
I am def on team pro.Looking to purchase after Feb 2022....I am praying I can find what I am looking for.I have a 17 year old who was accepted into Keene State and I can't wait to sell and get there
Late to the party, my wife and I have lived here since the mid 1970s, having grown up in the Chicago area. 1) We were looking to move to a more rural area. Our first though of course was west but rural areas there are really rural, neighbors may be miles away. NH being settled prior to the automobile individual towns tend to have different personalities rather then the post WWII urban sprawl I experienced growing up. Needing to have a car is an issue but at least for us finding a place to park it is not a problem. Something you did not mention that came as a surprise to us flatlander was the NH road system is a function of topology and old Indian paths. 2) People tend to complain about the cold here in NH. Growing up in the Midwest it was colder and had less snow. If you live in a location with four seasons more snow and less cold is hard to beat. Although I have to mention with things warming up winters now often consist of less snow and more ice because if it rains during the day it freezes over night making getting out an about interesting. I spent 4 years of military service in hot areas, prior to that I had not really thought about how much I enjoyed the seasonal change. 3) I think appreciation of history tends to come with age. Growing up in the Midwest not much predates the 1871 Chicago fire. The cornerstone on the building my father worked at was dated 1921. For me that may have been as old as the Egyptian pyramids. As you said in NH history is more alive and old buildings are being actively used so that is interesting for my wife and I but our children are pretty oblivious to local history, their lives are focused looking to the future. All in all we are happy we moved to NH and our two children continue to live in the state.
Hi Jenn, We've been thinking about moving to New Hampshire for several years and have found your videos very informative. We recently found a very nice house in Kingston that we have under contract. Maybe we'll see you around. Thanks again and best
Hi, thank you for the videos. I do enjoy them. I've always had a thing for the New England area and the history there; Also, always wanted to live in an older home one day. I'm from Ohio - born and raised. I'm waiting to get out of the service and start over. I want to leave Ohio, but I don't want to leave Ohio haha! But with what I've been looking up and reading, NH seems like a great place to live that other states need to follow!
Thanks for watching! Have you been to NH before? It may help to come for a visit and stay in one of the many bed & breakfasts that we throughout the state, usually in the older homes.
@@NHHomeandHustle I have not visited yet. I would like to take a trip after i get out of the service. (Please don't thank me!) 😄😄 I plan on getting my CDL and maybe work a couple years in Ohio, then move to NH; Or if the opportunity arises, NH right away.
You didn’t mention all the tick that you can get Lyme disease, people in that state are crippled from Lyme disease, So if the tick don’t get you the property taxes will
i love your videos. team pro all the way. would you do videos on living in the mountain regions? Sandwich, Conway, Lincoln and other smaller mountain towns?

Hi there ! A simple question. i'm a french canadian living near montreal ,Québec. Is new hampshire a welcoming state? I'm thinking of moving there in the near futur . 😊 thanks.
Great question! I think we are welcoming as long as you are not from Massachusetts! (that seems to be an ongoing sentiment I find in NH). Overall we are a friendly state, a wave-to-you-when-you-drive-through-the-neighborhood kind of friendly but NOT an in-your-face-wanting-to-know-all-your-business kind of friendly. We like our privacy and respect yours, but if you need help the community will step right up.
I'm coming to new Hampshire in roughly a year I've been homeless since march 4th and most likely will be when I get there but I'm going to scratch and claw my way back to the top I'll either get a house with a fha loan and down payment grant then refinance after a few years and I build that credit back up or I'll get a apartment I'm also planning on working custodial for the school system or one of the hospitals

Thank for posting video, looking to buy and hear that I should not buy in Manchester NH due to high crime rate ? Which are the “good areas “ of Manchester?
Thanks for watching! I use SpotCrime when looking at properties to see what has been reported in the area. There will always be more crime in heavily populated sections like downtown. spotcrime.com/
Thanks for asking! A mudroom is usually an area just inside the main door of the house (not always the front door) where people can take off wet or muddy boots and hang up their coats before entering the house. Usually there are special mats or rugs that are easy to clean in these areas. The are really important in the winter! I explained more in this video: ua-cam.com/video/hCykDIMSi_4/v-deo.html
Ok, so. Being a person on Disability and living in "affordable" housing with heath insurance from Medicare and MassHealth NH doesn't seem friendly to me. But if your still healthy and working for a living NH seems to be Heaven in my book. Wish I could work I'd move out of Communist Massachusetts and live up North for sure. Just have to remember the leave the Baystate thinking in the Baystate.
@Gemma Medicare/Medicaid are federal. MassHealth is State. I don't know what you have in NH to take the place of MassHealy if anyhting. and Of course you have disabled people their I know that.
If you Homeless Manchester is your home. A loooot of homeless here sleeping in parks they shit where ever drugs and if you walking Dog be careful you dog don’t find a Needle 💉😏
This is probably a question best answered by a minority in NH, which I am not. I can say that the closer you are to Massachusetts, the more diverse the population. Shopping in Nashua, Salem or Plaistow, you will hear a foreign language or two being spoken around you without anyone giving it a second thought. Thanks for the comment!

Nh beaches suck. Hampton is basically NH's impression of the Jersey shore. Maine beaches are much better.
Yup, so rocky. Had never been on a rocky beach til the one in Rye. Great lobstah, though!
