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.
In warmer months they may find treats such as berries, buds and leaves. Arctic hares are the largest species of hare found in North America. Fully grown, they are approximately 18 to 25 inches in length. Hares generally are larger than rabbits, and have longer ears and hind legs. Arctic hares have bright white coats to blend with their snowy surroundings.
