    The winter is bad! But to be honest I think NH (New England in general) has great weather. We really don;t get hit with tropical storms or hurricanes or tornadoes. Its very rare when we do. Flooding is an issue within my town because its not leveled in certain areas. So some shopping plazas become flooded. The only issue we have thats every year is winter storms. NH gets hit bad with snow. But the fall, spring and summer are wonderful and really we barely experience any weather issues. It doesn't rain too much either.
    Living here is great! Everything is pretty local and easy access to highways.
