Not NH, but I saw that Sugarbush's snow report page (http://www.sugarbush.com/snow-trails-conditions/live-mountain-update) says that "primary conditions" are "frozen granular".
I have no idea what "frozen granular" means, but I have a feeling it's a synonym for "the kind of ice that you could read a newspaper through".
Might try skiing Wachusett or something Sunday morning. Spend a weekend relaxing for a change.
My perception has always been frozen granular = sheets of ice; loose granular = ice cubes.
