Good morning, Nashua.

New Hampshire has a rich film legacy that includes Portsmouth’s Louis de Rochemont producing an Oscar-winning documentary in the 1940s, Ernest Thompson winning best adapted screenplay for On Golden Pond filmed on Lake Winnipesaukee, and UNH alum Jennifer Lee helping make Frozen a box-office hit.

UNH graduate Jennifer Lee became the first woman to direct a Disney film with Frozen and later served as executive producer on hits like Encanto and Raya and the Last Dragon (she will lead future projects including Frozen III set for release in fall).

Glow and Grace photography sessions in Bedford boosted teen self-confidence by offering an empowering portrait experience with on-site hair and makeup.

Fifteen-year-old Arianna and 11-year-old Eva both felt inspired after the session at Amanda Marquis’ studio.

Kelly O'Brien is hitting the slopes at McIntyre Ski Area for The White Carpet fit check this weekend while local filmmakers see their indie film Eephus debut nationwide (featuring Fritz Friday: Walter Long).

A documentary about NH band The Shaggs will debut at South by Southwest starting Thursday night — festival officials said its selection surprised programmers.

Irish settlers introduced apple trees, potatoes and linen to Londonderry, and that heritage lives on at a Hampstead shop where its display makes visitors feel like it is spring all year.

The feature highlights the enduring spirit of local Irish traditions.

Students and staff at Fairgrounds Middle School held a talent show fundraiser Tuesday night and raised $1,536 for St. Jude’s.

The fundraiser saw week-long contests including a pie challenge and lip sync battle, and ended with principal Jeffrey Arbogast shaving substitute Tim Geddes’ beard.

On March 2 at Sky Meadow Country Club, Nashua Rotary members heard Melissa Edwards of the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center share teacher Christa McAuliffe’s inspiring legacy and her role in the space program (highlighting education’s impact).

Officials say melting snow is not enough to break the drought as frozen ground hinders water absorption.

Experts say spring rain is needed to lift the dry spell predicted to last through May & only about 1 to 1.5 inches of water will soak into the ground.

Changeable weather is expected today as light snow develops later tonight across the state, causing slippery roads in parts of central and northern areas+ gusty winds and chilly conditions will mark Saturday afternoon.

A warmer, rain-showery system will move in on Monday, potentially prompting localized flooding on area rivers.

This weekend, Derry's Dunham brothers will coach high school teams in state championship games—Pinkerton Academy meets Trinity at 4 p.m. on Sunday at UNH for a New Hampshire title and Central Catholic faces Bishop Feehan at 6 p.m. in Lowell for the Massachusetts title.

Nute eighth-grader Ellie Hopkins averaged 25 points per game and led her team into the playoffs this season — she plans to attend Brewster Academy and aims for a D1 career with hopes to join the WNBA.
