Does Your Home Have A Secondary Heat Source?
It's officially winter, and we've already seen several days and nights where the temperature has gone below zero. I remember a few Decembers back, we were hit with a stretch of fifty-degree days filled with rain and heavy winds. The wind caused a ton of damage, leaving a lot of people without power, one of them being me. Without any power, I also had no heat, and it seemed as though in a matter of hours the warm rain was replaced by bone-chilling cold. To this day, I don't know how I made it out of those few days without a frozen-pipe disaster.

How Freeze-Thaw Cycles Affect NH Houses
The repeating freeze-thaw patterns in the White Mountains alter a property's appearance as seasons change. When temps go above or below freezing, water under paved areas freezes and grows, then shrinks as it melts. This natural shift can result in bumpy or uneven parts of driveways or paths, which home shoppers spot right away on snowy days.

Don't Let Chilly Winter Days Keep You from Enjoying the Season
The winter months offer terrific opportunities for people who enjoy active outdoor pursuits like skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, ice skating and winter hiking, but what about those who'd prefer to spend the long days between late November through March snuggled up by the woodstove and dreaming of summer?
Sitting around the fire sipping hot chocolate and binging your favorite series can make the winter months go by more quickly, but why not plan some non-sports activities that get you moving and enjoying time with family and friends, both indoors and outside?
