Answer by Linda124lyfe. Confidence votes 53. Nimbus is a Latin word meaning cloud or rain storm. The prefix nimbo-or the suffix-nimbus indicates a precipitating cloud; for example, a nimbostratus cloud is a precipitating stratus cloud, and a cumulonimbus cloud is a precipitating cumulus cloud. And it starts from the bottom.
According to NH Fish and Game, snowshoe hare are found throughout New England, across Canada, and south to the Appalachian and Rocky Mountains. In New Hampshire and Maine they are most abundant in the northern three counties. I like finding them down here near the coast because, to me, as a northophile, I love anything reminiscent of the North.
The diet of snowshoe hares is variable. They eat many different kinds of grasses, small leafy plants, and flowers. The new growth of trembling aspen, birches and willows is also eaten.During the winter, snowshoe hares forage on buds, twigs, bark, and evergreens.They have been known to scavenge the remains of their own kind in the winter months.hey eat many different kinds of grasses, small leafy plants, and flowers.
