WE USUALLY HAVE SNOW

Although the Monadnock area of New Hampshire is only an evening's drive from Boston, it is an easy place to find an old-fashioned New England winter.

Mt. Monadnock region winter weather -- when Boston is wet, we probably have snow. The hills and mountains are moderately high (500 ft to 3000 ft)(150 km to 1000 km). And the area is well inland from the seacoast and Boston. This means alot more snow. For current local weather see: Yahoo weather for Wilton area

Yes, you can get here in the winter. New Hampshire snow-plow drivers take their job seriously. So in general -- even with a fresh-falling snowstorm -- you will find the roads safe to drive. (It's still a good idea to have snowtires or all-season tires on the car, and to bring along a shovel.)

Enjoy a cozy weekend. Stepping Stones has a back-up generator system for any power outage. You can rest assured that your cozy weekend away in the winter will be as relaxing as you planned. You may even "have" to be "stuck" in New Hampshire for an extra day or two!
