Here in New Hampshire we’re a little weird, but we like it that way! Even so, there are a few things that we do up here that leave people in the rest of the country thinking we’re absolutely nuts. But hey, we wouldn’t have it any other way!

  1. Wear short sleeves when there’s still snow on the ground.
