It’s hard to believe December is already here—and with it, the season’s first big snowstorm. We’re expecting 6–9 inches of snow in my neck of the woods.

In other news, today is Giving Tuesday, a day that invites us to turn outward and support the people and places that make New Hampshire home. 

Whether it’s money, time, or simply showing up, every bit of effort adds up. Here’s how you could make a difference…

🫶 Support local food banks

🫶 Support animal rescues

🫶 Help teachers stock their classrooms

🫶 Give your time by volunteering

🫶 Shop with purpose at local businesses that donate a portion of proceeds

🫶 Drop off a gift for a holiday giving tree

🫶 Check in on neighbors who might need an extra hand this season

Here’s what I’m covering today:

What’s your favorite pie? 

Stacker dug into Instacart data and found that while pumpkin pie rules nationwide, lots of states have their own signature favorites. Here in New Hampshire, the crowd-pleaser is a true classic: Cream Pie.

Turns out, it’s a favorite in much of New England. Here’s a look: 

Vermont: Cream Pie

Maine: Cream Pie

Massachusetts: Cream Pie

New York: Coconut Custard Pie

Connecticut: Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

The 2028 presidential race may feel far off, but early polls are already taking shape.

A new University of New Hampshire poll shows former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg leading the Democratic field with 19% support, followed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom (15%) and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (14%). Former Vice President and 2024 nominee Kamala Harris trails at 11%. On the Republican side, Vice President JD Vance holds a strong lead at 51%, with Nikki Haley (9%) and Tulsi Gabbard (8%) rounding out the top contenders.

So this week’s question is…

If you had to vote today, who would you pick for president in 2028?
