Welcome to Discover Sandwich,

celebrating the town of Sandwich, New Hampshire.
Find out what's going on, what used to go on, and what goes on and on,
in and around this vibrant, historic New England village.

Stephanie Goddard writes: With February comes the deep freeze this year in Sandwich. The wood stove is crackling, soups are stewing, coffee is brewing! And believe it or not, gardeners and farmers are scouring their seed catalogues and making plans. Despite the frigid temps, the days are getting longer, and there’s a hopeful brightness to the hills.

Weather Data for January 2023, by Rod Weinberg
The average high temperature for the month was 35.3° and the low 23.5°. This is 10.8° above normal. The coldest morning was 9° on the 1st and the warmest 46° on the 11th. Nine days were above 40° which is very unusual for January. Total snowfall was 31.2" which is 5" above normal. Total precipitation was 5.21" which is 1.27" above the norm.

Snowfall for the first half of the winter season was normal but the temperatures have averaged the highest that I have observed in the area since I began recording data in 1967. (Two years were in Biddeford, Maine and four in Meredith, NH. The rest was locally on Diamond Ledge Rd. in Sandwich.)
