Winterization date
Personally, I would winterize sooner than later, simply because later may be lousy weather and the whole winterizing process will be that much more complicated and certainly unpleasant.
It is seductive to want to stretch it our one more weekend, then maybe, one more, but this is New Hampshire and you can bet that the cold and unpleasant weather is coming, even if we do have some pleasant days sprinkled about.
The potential damage and ensuing repairs just aren't worth a few hours more of cottage life. If you put the cottage up for the winter while it is still marginally pleasant, you will have good memories to carry you through to the spring. A stretch of bad weather now, during which you have to winterize, will leave you with a 'taste' in your mouth all during the off season.
Just my thoughts.
