I recently came across an article on this. Seems that the Wooly Adelgid has done significant damage to the forests in Connecticut. Massachusetts has long been presumed to be protected from the Wooly Adelgid due to its colder winters. However, scientists believe that climate change leading to warmer winters will put all of the Hemlocks in Mass at risk. The article didnt mention New Hampshire. I think winters around the lake are still cold enough to offer some protection....for the time being. Lets hope so.
