I enjoyed the early analysis thread of the long lead up to this last storm and would encourage you to run another for this threat if you found a benefit to it. My only request would be to do your best to delay this arriving until around 1/10-1/20 as we'll be up at Bretton Woods

I noticed the same thing on Route 33 out my way. Kinda weird. Nobody getting too crazy. Except for that Subaru behind me - Dude! Give at least a couple car lengths!

I envision your own personal stacks are gray and dry from top to bottom, cherry-picking each piece with a moisture meter in hand savoring the best hard wood hearty warmth all season long. I'm not jealous, you're jealous!

26.1 currently at home. Never got above 29 today. Out and about earlier in Stratham and 33 got SLICK. Lots of traffic but most folks keeping their wits about them.

There's a thread for that

I was thinking that either came out wrong, or just right LOL

Slide that NE a touch and you jack and I get to work with more than just the tip of that pink zone.

Without high resolution Kuchera snow maps posted, these posts are becoming extremely difficult for the layperson!

Thank you both for the info and details, I appreciate it.

"I feel great, no head-throb here!" @40/70 Benchmark Am I doing this right?

Thanks. What's parking like at Assembly Row? I don't mind a further ride especially if there's more to do. I also don't mind paying up for parking if it's valet, reserved, protected, etc. That Methuen theater was going to show it and I kept clicking to buy tickets but it kept saying something was wrong. 24ish hours later I try again and it's like the place has been fully shut down. LOT'S of rodent comments in those reviews LOL

Have any of you been to the IMAX theater at the Liberty Tree Mall in Danvers, or at Assembly Row in Somerville? Is one better than the other? There's a limited release movie coming out and none of the nice friendly New Hampshire theaters are carrying it so I have to make the trek down into the mean streets of Massachusetts. The last movie I went to was either the Phantom Menace or one of the Matrix movies so it's been awhile! I'm trying to find a place that isn't rat infested (the reviews of some of these theaters literally call out rats running across the floor!) and where my car will still be waiting with all 4 wheels attached when the movie's out.

When you guys talk about some of the storms in the past that showed up on modeling then disappeared, only to come back again and be decent storms, were there any characteristics in the patterns that had you saying "No way, that storm can't simply disappear"? Or alternatively, do you recall statements like we've seen recently where people are saying "It's a garbage airmass", "the flow is too fast", "it's not digging deep enough out west", etc? As an observer it seems that everyone has given up on anything happening here. Just curious if the sentiment was the same with other storms in the past that materialized out of nowhere at the last minute or if it was obvious that something could and should happen.

13.3 for the low. Coldest of the season so far.

As simply an observer and consumer of this information, I really appreciate and enjoy reading the meaningful and in-depth analysis from the seasoned and knowledgeable folks in here devoid of the emotional hand-wringing due to as-yet-unknown outcomes that seem to control the frantic posting of many. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas as this evolves into whatever it may ultimately become.

If and when it does snow, I’m envisioning more than a few posters here “enjoying” the event like this

From you lips to Tip's nips (or however that old saying goes,) I believe you've just taken 100% sole and full responsibility if a Grinch storm does in fact happen. Let's hope kdxken doesn't add your limb to the wood pile before 12/26

I was curious how much this area got in total as my tipper froze the night before and registered 0.01" until about 11am when I went out and cleared it.

I was in a Zoom meeting from 3-5pm and missed this happening in real time. Temps did end up jumping real quick!

Had some decent heavier rain before noon today but my rain gauge apparently froze overnight and I don't know how much fell. Temp has slowly crept from 31 at midnight to 37 now. Local forecast was for 60 degrees by 9pm tonight with gusts 40-50mph. If that's happening still, I imagine this thing is going to come roaring in here before too long.

Pardon me good Sir, dost though hath any inclinations regarding the impending blustery gales shewn on modeling over the next fortnight?

Where do you fly out of when you go up? MHT? BOS? MHT would be super convenient but they either don't fly direct out of there or I struggle greatly trying to find the proper flights! Sitting at 27.5 on the morning buried under several tenths of an inch of wintry precipitation after 0.43" of rain yesterday until ~8:30-9pm when it flipped.

With 2”+ of rain and temps in the high 50’s expected, as well as Uncle Phil’s pending visit this week, we made a quick run up to Loon today. Conditions were reasonable for early season. Busier than I thought it would be but apparently everyone had the same idea to beat the rain. Loon isn’t our favorite place to go, but it’s close enough to make a game-time decision like today.

1.5” - 2” here and festive. Beautiful morning.
