Winter season in New England means pothole season for drivers.

Sure, we don't get hurricanes or tornadoes where we live - but we do get mild concussions after hitting the roof of our car after going six inches deep into a pothole going 45MPH...

OUCH.

Did you know that one of the country's biggest potholes is in New Hampshire?

You may be asking yourself, "Well...why don't we just fix it?"

And the answer is that it is not the pothole you're thinking of. It is the Basin, in Franconia Notch State Park.

According to a Visit White Mountains article, the basin, one of the most iconic spots in New Hampshire is actually a pothole. And a big one too.

And before you go saying, "That is not a pothole..." it is.

A pothole has two definitions. Yes, it is the decompression of roads after use and wear. But a pothole is also an underground cave caused by erosion, normally by water.

And that is exactly what the Basin is.

The 25,000-year-old "pothole" in the Pemigewasset River, is 30 feet in diameter and 15 feet deep, according to Visit White Mountains.

Believe it or not, the world's largest pothole is in Pennsylvania, at Archbald Pothole State Park. Yes, a state park literally named POTHOLE.

That pothole is about 42 feet wide and 18 feet deep...so we'll need some more erosion in New Hampshire to compete with that title.
