DETAILS

NH weather is often the subject of jokes – ‘if you don’t like it wait, it’ll change.’ But many of the changes we have experienced recently are anything but funny. Returning from the garden or a walk these days means carefully checking for ticks and finding them far more frequently than in the past. Temperature has become an important go, no-go factor for outdoor activity. And this past year after gully washing rains, we have found our driveways and even roads washed out: inconvenient, expensive and perhaps scary.

What are these changes and why are they happening? Perhaps more importantly, what can we do now to maintain a livable environment for ourselves, our children and their families?
