[Thespis]

I'm not thrilled about moving somewhere colder than Chicago, especially since I'm originally from the south.

NH is warmer than Chicago ...... you would have to move to MT or WY to get colder.

Really?

I thought it was colder because it looks a little bit farther north. Oh well, my bad.

In light of this new information, I'm thrilled to be moving somewhere (even slightly) warmer than Chicago.

Facts are meaningless! You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true!

Depending on WHERE in NH, it's mostly a push.

Nah, NH is mostly colder. You happend to pick the warmest part of the state, by the ocean.

Nashua is as south as you get, and it is away from the ocean, as most of NH is.

Missed my point entirely, did you?

Fisher just explained that the parts of NH near Boston are warmer than Chicago.  Guess where Thespis is planning on moving?  To a part of NH that is near Boston.

[Fluff and Stuff]

Because even five or six small states would confine us to less than ten million people.  Here's the problem: in the last few months, the number of people signing up has slowed to a trickle. 

Of course, there are already movements in MT, AK, and WY and the FSP has 100x more activity than all of them combined.  Also, the FSP has been doing much better this year than the end of last year.  Lots of money is coming in and member sign-ups have increased.

[president]

No, you did. Compare the average lows from the Hampton Falls, NH and Chicago, IL. We are talking about cold, right?

Where's Monthly average high?  C'mon, if you're going to give lows, give highs.

I say they're close enough to be too similar to bitch.

[Thespis]

This argument isn't relevant to the point of this thread.

I've made the commitment to move, regardless of the temps. If I have to buy some more long underwear, so be it.

Let's stop the back and forth on the temperatures, it doesn't matter.

[president]

Where's Monthly average high?  C'mon, if you're going to give lows, give highs.

We are not talking about how hot it gets, we are talking about how cold it gets, so we look at the lows.

You posted the highs for Hampton Falls, and I posted the highs for Chicago. But that doesn't tell us how cold it gets.

I say they're close enough to be too similar to bitch.

That is fine, but Russell said NH is warmer than Chicago, and I dispute that.

[president]

Let's stop the back and forth on the temperatures, it doesn't matter.

No, it doesn't. What does matter is when people lie to you. Take note of who they are.

According to the info posted, parts of NH are both warmer (see the highs) and colder (see the lows) than Chicago in winter and you are the only one that looks bad on this thread.

Edited: added (see the highs) and (see the lows) to help Fisher out.
