Have you ever heard the expression, "If you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes"? Coos County once again has proven just how we, here in the upper reaches of New Hampshire, have come to know this expression inside and out. For many of the people throughout the United States, spring is in full bloom. However, here in Coos County, we have been blanketed with another dose of beautiful white snow. While many consider this a curse and an inconvenience, it is absolutely breathtaking to wake up and see the evergreen boughs bending low to the ground from the weight of the heavy snow placed upon them. The daffodils and crocuses are in a suspended state, surrounded by snow, but still so green and holding the promise of warmer weather to come. Children cheer when they realize that the snow is perfect for snowballs, snow men and in some cases - snow rabbits. Parents cheer when they realize that it is not enough snow to cancel school. Wildcat Mountain can now operate through the week of April 16th. Snowmobilers can fire up their machines for a final run through the vast trails that Coos County offers. We, here in Coos County, certainly do live in a world of extremes..., extreme weather, extreme sports, but most importantly - extreme beauty.
