I have absolutely no numbers or information to back up what I am about to say but...
Is NH really a tourist state? I know it is a large part of the economy, but this seems to be said a lot by people who vacation in NH and that is all they see. NH has some really large companies for such a small state. To name a couple Velcro, HP, Dyn, what ever it is Dean Kamen does these days, autodesk, insite industries, etc. That ignores the fact that the entire southern part of the state commutes to mass and brings there money back.
I am not saying we don't have a huge tourism industry I am just saying there is a lot more going on then meets the eye.

Tourism is either the second or third largest industry in the state depending on what article you read. Smart manufacturing/high-tech is first and healthcare is either two or three.

Too much of this "beautiful weather" and there will not be a Rotary fishing derby in several weeks. I cannot see that as something to celebrate. I've been in the Caribbean all week (first time here) and I would trade places with you in a second, PBG.

Not good! Looks like a bust for the ski areas this Christmas/New Years week!
