When the north wind leaves its calling card of snow frosting the higher peaks of New Hampshire, winter is settling in for its visit, which spans the holiday season and, in some places, overlaps spring.
The snowy landscape is a backdrop for winter enthusiasts - skiers, snowmobilers, snowshoers, ice fishermen and mushers.
Winter days may be short, but there is a lot of adventure to be packed into the daylight. The nights are a time for other pursuits - fine dining, romantic moonlit sleigh rides, or simply, the restorative power of a fireplace and dancing flames.
