It seems like natural disasters abound these days around the globe and NH isn’t just standing by and watching from the side lines! Amid all the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, could any of us foreseen the impact of the December 12th ice storm on our state? Didn’t we remember the lessons of the storm we had in February 2008?

Actually, when you think about it, global warming seems to be the least of our problems here in the Northeast! We not only got hit by an early winter ice storm in February, but then that was followed up with an ENORMOUS snow storm at the end of the month that threatened to delay Spring until next year!

Just when the Robins thought it was safe to come home, we got another freak hail storm that ruined everyone’s garden!

Summer settled in for a short while and just when we thought we were out of the woods…. we had a HURRICANE (or was it a Tornado) that ripped thorugh the middle of the state leaving a path of destruction that none of us had seen in our lifetimes!

Hurricane winds and rain engulfed the state this fall and left everyone with soggy feet and flooded basements! Does this ever stop????

So, as the saying goes….”If you don’t like the weather..wait awhile! You’re in New Hampshire and you never know what Mother Nature is going to do next!”

Here’s to a quiet ending to 2008 and the hope that 2009 will give us a little rest from these bouts of weather that are creating more “cranky Yankees” than we should have in these parts!

Happy New Year!
