Let there be snow

0.4" today; currently light snow with broken clouds. And a snow gun cranking. Of course it will take me a week or so of continuous snow making to do what my kids want me to do lol

Nice moderate snow to start the day. At least it's white again!

Light snow here but just a dusting, nothing significant. Might be time to whip out the snow gun that I got last year for the Sam Adams commercial that was being shot at my house. The kids want a snow mound to play in, and getting the snow gun out is a sure guarantee that there will be plenty of natural snow and my electricity bill will be a complete waste.

Of course 2 minutes after flipping it stopped

Flipped to snow

Just flipped to snow

Heavy snow and sleet... Too bad it won't last

Move that south a few hundred miles and we’re good!

Light snow, 31/16

That poor thing stands no chance of surviving a winter in Randolph

1.8”. Just light stuff now which probably won’t add up to anything

Great write up JSpin. It seems that we always do much better when the moisture source is a departing storm, and that when it’s not we often don’t do as well as Mansfield. We had a couple of rounds yesterday - both mostly melted after as the sun poked through. The first one was 0.2”, the second 0.4”. It finally started snowing well last night and we picked up a couple of inches overnight - will measure when I get out with the kids, but the stake is at 2” so it’s approximately that. Still light snow this morning

Stars were out half an hour ago and now it’s snowing quite heavily. I thought we were done. Nice big fat snowgloby flakes.

That was a beautiful thing when I lived in Bartlett. The overall “snowpack season” was much shorter, and you had to wait quite a bit longer to get your first snow, but it seemed like it never rained. Every time there was a cutter we’d just get 31 and freezing rain. I had 2 places there - one on the North side of the hills next to Attitash, and one right above Storyland. Higher elevation and STUNNING views but always wind scoured so we never had much snow on the ground. The first one had much better retention even if at lower elevation. It’s a trade-off. Up here we have a much longer snow season and many more “snow days.” If you like snow on trees and snow globes, like me, it’s much better. But the snowpack down in the Mount Washington Valley is magnificent, even if shorter lived.

It was actually kinda freaky lol. It started happening as I was getting my son to bed and I was like - WTF? Kept happening for about an hour. It's funny in retrospective, I was not amused at the time lol. Watching TV and the living room lights kept going on and off. At least it wasn't the middle of the night. Had it happened while I was sleeping you'd have heard me scream in anger from Randolph

A quick 0.4" with the last batch. Just cloudy now

Speaking of cameras, is Nest having an outage? I can't even connect with my account, let alone my caemra! And yesterday Leviton had server issues; my lights were going on and off at random! So much for "smart" home... made me miss an old fashioned switch that does what you tell it to do lol

Good snow now. 32/25

Hey what's this white stuff??? Light snow, about 1/4" accumulated

Oh, and it's snowing. Lightly but hey, it's snow.

We were down to about -36 around New Year's a couple of years ago. Conditions were great but nobody was skiing lol

The past couple of years we've had exceptionally early snowpack, but it seems to me on my limited data that true snowpack building usually starts around Thanksgiving and not until early to mid December in lower elevations like Bartlett and North Conway

It's November. Relax.

Some mixed precip here but the wind is crazy
