It's winter in
New Hampshire
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At
Twenty-five below.
Oh, how I love New Hampshire
When the snow's up to
Your butt
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen
Shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I'll hang
Around
I could never leave New Hampshire
'Cause I'm frozen to the
Ground!!

Aw, you're only in Nashua. It's not that cold there. Go up into the mountains, or try Wisconsin.

I loved NH (lived in Franconia and Nashua), am very jealous of your cold and snow!

It snowed - actually snowed - here in central PA last night. I was so excited, I went out at 1:00 a.m. to brush the snow off my car before it melted off this morning, just for a chance to be out in the snow, lol! (I'm not willing to go too far outside at 1:00 in the morning.)

Your reply sounds like mine to a co-worker based in Florida. He was complaining that his pool was frozen. My reply... "boo hoo! Cue the violins!!" Sympathetic, huh? :-)

Yes, there are many places colder than here, especially in our friendly little mountain range. What I find really amusing are the people, tourist and local, that go to the top of Mt. Washington, expecting it to be as warm as it is at the bottom!

My only excuse for this post is, I loved the poem and had to share.

Hey, how come you left NH? From what I hear, you're getting worse weather than we are because a Canadian high is keeping the yucky stuff south of us.
