With another snowstorm in the forecast after a couple of days that hinted of spring, I wanted to share a behind-the-scenes story from the big snow storm that buried New Hampshire a couple of weeks ago. It’s a story that defines intrepid. It also speaks well of the state of neighborliness in our Granite State.
