Hello from Manchester, NH! Although we do get snow in the winter, it is usually not terrible! Here are some links that will show you New Hampshire - where I live there are two rivers, a few lakes, 50 minutes to the ocean, 50 minutes to Boston, we have a minor league baseball team, museums, theatre, a larger venue for "big name" entertainment, beautiful weather and friendly people!
