Hello and happy Friday and Happy Spring! WE DID IT!  We made it through the winter that just kept on coming.  It was late to arrive and it seems it is late leaving too.  I think we may see a few robins just like the one in the cartoon below.

 

 Here are a few facts about NH;

 

The NH sport is skiing and was adopted in 1998. 

Manchester, is the largest city in NH.

The first snowmobile was invented by George Morton of Bartlett, NH.

State flower-purple liliac

State insect- lady bug, 1977

State bird purple finch

State tree-white birch, 1947

Let's hope with Spring being here we start seeing some of our state designated flower, bird, insect and tree.

Brookstone Builders, Inc.- Frost Quakes

Have you been up during the early morning hours listening to loud, snapping, popping and cracking noises?  You lay there thinking is it my roof?  Then during light hours you look at the ceilings in your house wondering if that crack is bigger?  Many people have been reporting on these noises describing them as gunshot noises, explosions, popping, You are not alone. Here in New England we are experiencing extreme cold and for many of us we are hearing these loud noises for the first time.  It isn't just you and they are real.  They are

 called frost quakes or Cryoseism. Interesting, have a read, you may sleep better tonight if you read this.
