We enjoyed your site and will add it as a link on ours, so we think you should add us as a link on yours. The Cities of Dover, Rochester, Somersworth, and the Pease Development Authority have an economic development page (www.econ.dev.dst.nh.us) for businesses relocating to the region. We loved your page for the cultural aspect and think it will benefit both of us to provide links. By the way, ours is also an award winning web page having won Best of Class as well as Special Recognition for Use of Technology from the Northeastern Economic Developer's Association.

(Editor's Reply: You should win an award for that site which was, oddly enough, designed by Brown & Co of Portsmouth who worked with us. Will set your click up for now in Business/Hot Links. JDR)

I was reading the Fosters, this eve and your artical caught my eye. I love the seacoast spend many hours riding my Harley up and down one end to the other (on better days then this) I just wanted to drop in for a peek! Good job, glad you are there, will visit often. Thanks again Mike Doherty.

Ask Experts: What is the average yearly snowfall in Portsmouth? Is there a city in NH that gets less? name: Brian Berard

(Editor's Reply: We haven't got a blink of an idea, but here's the best answer we could solicit. Having a major university in the seacoast can come in handy. TD)

THE WEATHERMAN RESPONDS
For some unexplained reason, average snowfall data is hard to find. However, there are a couple of reliable sources that can assist us in making a good guestimate of average annual snowfall for Portsmouth, NH. According to the Climatological Atlas of Snowfall and Snow Depth for the Northeastern United States and Southeastern Canada - produced by the Northeast Regional Climate Center at Cornell University, Portsmouth's average annual snowfall is in the upper 50s (in inches). However, based on about 100 year record, Durham, NH averages about 55 inches and there is no doubt in my mind that Portsmouth would be somewhat less than this value, with my best guess being near 50 inches.

Although we have little data to back this up, the overall pattern across New England would suggest that the extreme coastal Southeast portion of NH (e.g., Seabrook Beach and Hampton Beach) would have the smallest average annual total. Hope that helps.

Hi, Nice looking Web page. Have just begun to explore it. Can I send check/mo to your local address to purchase Ts? Or is this "on-line" ordering only?

Thanks, Bert

(Editor's Response: Bert you can buy anything we got any way you like. IN fact, the store can be accessed via FAX and tollfree phone as well. We'll be experimenting with audio clips and a couple of new local CDs in February. Now our first three local books click to entire web pages about Revolutionary Era heroes.)

Thank you so much [for sending the info about musical concerts in Portsmouth per e-mail request.] You cannot begin to imagine how nice of you this is. Merci, Merci, Merci from Montreal!

My wife and I are great lovers of your area,including Eliot and Kittery. We sure would love to hear from some people who might know of a nice small piece of land (small) that we could build a simple ranch home on. We are small town people that currently live in the City and can't wait to get out, and join into the fun in your area.

This is Bill Carter from Houston Texas. I grew up in Rye and both my brothers still live in the area. I have been away from New England for 18 years and have been enjoying the SeacostNH.com home page for a while now. Its looks great. I try to get back as much as possible but whenever I need an NH injection, I flip to the homepage and savor the photos. I noticed Ralph Morangs pictures in the photo gallery and boy did those bring back memories. Ralph went to PHS with my brother John. Gotta go. Keep those pictures coming.

I was thrilled to see your site. I originally come from Stratham and we have temporarily relocated to Guam. Keep up the great work! The diversity of the Portsmouth area has always continued to surprise me, culturally and historicaly speaking. Who needs Boston!

Growing up in Peoria I always thought it was neat to hear that phrase, long after it actually mattered if a performer had heard of Peoria or not. It didn't take me weeks to find your site, (probably since I am now a proud resident of Durham, and read a preview in the Portsmouth Herald) but I will let all my friends know about your site, and maybe the ones still living in Peoria will write a nice review about it. Good luck in maintaing such a info-packed site, I love it so far, and I'll be checking back frequently to see your updates.

Great Web site. Something you may want to include in neat places to visit on the seacoast is the Sandy Point Discovery Center on Great Bay. The Center is open to the public May through October. The board walk, into the salt marsh, and woodland trails are open year round. The Discovery Center is dedicated to informing and educating the public on the importance of estuaries to the environment. Last year 2800 school children visited the Discovery Center as part of their science training. In all 15,000 visitors came to the Discovery Center. The Center is located off Rt.33 on Depot Road. Signs on Rt. 33 mark the loaction.

Should you have questions please contact me or Betsy Stevens at Sandy Point (778-0015).

(Editor's Reply: Sandy Point is listed among our "101 Highlights" section in TOURING under Kids and Family. Eventually we hope to expand details and this and all NH Seacoast highlight sites. JDR)

Nice to see the virtues of my native area and information technology being merged in providing the world with material about an area near and dear to my heart. How about having a link or links of the Portsmouth or other seacoast city sites (for those that don't know your site exists)? Also would really like a poster (for sale) of your Web site logo. Any plans for adding this to your store roster? Keep up the good work.

(Editor's Reply: No immediate plans for a poster since we spent all our money getting the t-shirt ready, but we've had more than one request. Will keep it in mind for the future. Links, you requested are in progress now. Thanks, JDR)
