It is showing what can happen if precautions are not taken seriously. Why not report that we’ve had several take place without incident, Showing a wedding indoors with people wearing mask and social distancing to educate so it can be done if done right, The media is biased and that would never happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen news stories showing this. Of course those don’t attract viewers and readers. But as the old saying goes, if it bleeds, it leads. Back in the first couple of months of this, John Krazinski (The Office, Jack Ryan, etc) did a series of awesome YouTube videos called The Good News. It was all positive stories. We enjoyed those greatly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies, I should have clarified. My statement should have read: Bodes well for other indoor weddings where people are carrying on as if times were normal. I have a friend getting married next weekend indoors - DJ, open bar, no reduction in the invitation list. No mention of masks in the invitation. So they're leaving it up to the attendees; maybe some will wear and some will won't, but unless everyone does it kind of defeats the purpose. There are plenty of weddings taking place where people have made modifications. Smaller size, outdoors, mask wearing. Agreed, you won't hear about those, and that is completely biased. Having an indoor wedding right now with no modifications is a bad idea regardless of media agenda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having an indoor wedding right now with no modifications is a bad idea regardless of media agenda. This i can agree with, If precautions are not taken, Then its on them for what consequences may happen, If i was a guest i would probably have to consider attending or not, My youngest son was at a wedding in Fryeburg last weekend at an indoor venue, They had to really cut and slash the guest list to comply as well as mask and social distancing, But they had no option to change the wedding date as the venue is booked 2 yrs in advance and the only other open date they had was in Dec of 2022, I'm attending an outdoor wedding on the 3rd of October in Waterford, Which the ceremony and reception are all being held on the beach at the lake where its taking place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Assuming that the ski season is somewhat normal and there aren’t any state to state travel restrictions in the northeast. My wife and I are looking to take probably a 3 night trip to the North Conway area mid December or so. Any suggestions for places to stay that may be offering some bargains? All the usual hotels and what not seem to be prices high like they usually are. Willing to try something a bit different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never understand the rush to ski in December and then everyone hangs em up in February despite march and april being the best months to ski. With that said, try staying outside of Conway. Gorham, NH hotels will be cheaper and Sunday River will likely have better conditions and more terrain than any of the resorts in the valley.

PhineasC Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 The local guy up here who works on my house said that the Town and Country Inn in Shelburne is your best bet. That endorsement may be a bad thing or a good thing. There are some really rustic folks up here and standards may be different... I stayed at Carlsons Lodge in Carroll about 15 years ago. It was fine but can’t speak to quality now. It looks well kept from the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the golden NW flow spot. Climo studies all show big NW flow snows from vertically stacked lows over FVE. Really can tap that maritime moisture that way, nice conveyor belt from the ocean into the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
