The blowing snow and consistency of the snow rivals any HECS from my area in MD that I have ever experienced. And not even a WWA. LOL

Temp down to 26 as well. Pretty crazy.

I'm glad I have a really diligent CoCoRaHS observer up the street. I don't have the patience or interest to be super accurate with measuring when it's blowing all around.

No clue how you'd measure this. It's blowing all over the place on the south facing side with the field. Some spots are bare and other protected spots have two inches piled up. I am guessing there is an inch and a half out there all things considered.

Really getting blasted here right now. It's great.

Radar looks decent too. I am enjoying my first upslope event so far.

Nice snow now. Bigger flakes.

It’s working on my end. No snow falling at the moment.

Clearing now. Picked up close to an inch there. Awaiting the next burst.

Moderate snow, 29 degrees. A little more than a dusting now.

Same mentality drove me to a town with 300 residents in northern NH.

That’s why when I had some extra money to spend I bought a house in the mountains with land. Seemed the most secure bet.

Got all the kids gear set up. Plan is to don gear at home and drive windows cracked to the parking lots. Head right to the slopes from there. Should be a breeze with 4 kids!

Quicker changeover than I expected. Still super wet but flakes definitely flying in the spotlights. Looks like mostly snow now. Radar shows nothing. Hope that bodes well.

Flakes taking over. Super nasty out there. Temp dropped fast to 35. Changeover proceeding.

38 degrees with some drizzle/mist. Nasty out there.

I thought I saw you up there when I was on my deck. LOL

3-6 in the point forecasts in Coos Monday and Tuesday. Fingers crossed.

I have skimmed that paper. One thing that I think stands out in it is the lack of good data (not NWS' fault). You can see it in the maps. Gorham is not getting more snow than York Pond in the average event, IMO. Gorham is routinely dried out in events around here when the elevated areas are getting pounded. That's something I have noticed a lot already. I doubt Jefferson is beating York Pond either. It looks like NWS had decent data for these two areas and so that's why they stick out as local maxes. The time period is also 2001-2007, prior to the current Randolph observer. It will be interesting to see, but I really doubt Gorham is going to beat me in any category this winter.

2-3" is what I am hoping to see. As always, my bar is flakes in the air.

Really excited about my first upslope event. Models are all painting a local bullseye on the northern Presidentials which touches my house, so I am taking that as a good signal. Looking forward to comparing notes with the upslope crew after this first event.

Our schedule this winter will be 3 weeks in NH, 9 days in MD. Rinse and repeat until May. We plan to switch primary residency to NH in the summer. Tough to do in the middle of the school year, even with homeschooling (which is still tied to state programs).
