95 doesn’t really come from NH as much as it comes from Maine and it doesn’t go to Boston as much as 93 does.
Yeah, I totally realized that after the fact and was too lazy to edit :-/

Well. Where are you located? Lots of stuff locally pretty much all around if you know where to look.
State Liquor Store on I93 at Hooksett
tons of local town forest trails
Funspot if you like arcade games or pinball machines
North. Go north
MS Mount Washington on lake Winnipesaukee.
Don't skip the mountains just because there's snow on them. Because there's snow on them is a great reason to hike them. Just go prepared.
Advice like this not only potentially endangers OP, but also the SAR people that will have to go out and rescue OP or find their body. At the very least, include what "prepared" actually means, because to a new or moderately experienced hiker "prepared" won't mean what they think it does.
Yes, ultimately it's the individual hikers's responsibility to fully research what they're doing and honestly assess their own skills. But that doesn't make it ok to give them glib advice to go try something that's potentially extremely dangerous without even mentioning that fact
I don’t agree. There are plenty of places to go hiking with microspikes that isn’t remote white mountain tops that can be life threatening. There are many different levels of preparedness, and that’s pretty easy to figure it out. Eg, anyone with microspikes can hike to the summit of monadnock with no problem. Winter gives you experiencing can’t get in other seasons.
Your advice is idiotic and you’re going to get someone killed. Stop.
Telling people to hike in subzero temperatures without experience is not only the most dangerous thing I’ve read today but the most idiotic advice you can give someone.
I’m not sure you’re familiar with winter hiking. It’s fine. Read up and be prepared. I’m not suggesting that people hike Washington in February in flip flops. Have fun and enjoy the outdoors even in the winter is what I’m saying. Your reactionary comments are OTT.
I’m very familiar with being out in the cold as I have been hunting for over a decade.

From north to south: Drive through Dixville Notch. Take the Cog Railway to the summit of Mt Washington. See the lupins in June in Sugar Hill. Drive the Kancamagus Highway. Shop in North Conway. Visit the Flume and the Basin. Boat around Lake Winnepesaukee (maybe on the MV Mount Washington). Walk downtown Weirs Beach. Stroll around Peterborough. Hike Mt Monadnock. Visit the Currier and See Science Museums in Manchester. Go to a New Hampshire Fisher Cats game. Visit the living history museum at Strawberry Banke in Portsmouth. Then spend the rest of the day eating, drinking, and shopping in town. Drive all of Route 1B through New Castle. Spend a summer morning on Hampton beach, eating at a seafood restaurant for lunch. Take a fall foliage drive on one of the scenic byways.
