Actually APS there are lots of snow geese that come into NH during their migration and not just at the coast. There is an extensive "inland" hunting season on them that runs from very early October till just after Christmas. The coastal season runs from early October till Mid January.

During the inland season snow geese are often seen and hunted for in the many fields along the Connecticut river. The Merrimack river and its many corn fields in the Litchfield and Hudson area is also another place where snow geese are regularly hunted as well.

You can see them flying over Winnipesaukee in large formations but I have rarely seen any land in the lake but I'm sure they have...
