New Hampshire is sometimes referred to as the 'Mother of Rivers' and is also known as the 'Granite State', as five of the great streams of New England originate in its granite hills. The state is hilly and rocky, with many areas of dense forests. It is bordered by the states of Massachusetts, Vermont and Maine and also the province of Quebec.

New Hampshire experiences a humid continental climate with warm, humid summers, cold, wet winters, and uniform precipitation all year. The climate of the southeastern portion of the state is moderated somewhat by the Atlantic Ocean and the weather is a little milder and wetter as a result. Winters are cold and snowy throughout the state and are especially severe in the northern and mountainous areas. Average daytime highs are generally around 24°C - 28°C in July, with overnight lows from 13°C -15°C. January temperatures range from an average high of 1°C on the coast to overnight lows below -18 °C in the far north and at high elevations.
