My fields are now mostly snow free although the ground is still totally snow covered in the woods. Deer are out having a lot of fun, being able to run on bare ground. I made this 3 minute video of them late this afternoon. They have so much personality. Video starts slow but then they all get running around. https://video.nest.com/clip/ef5bb5bef7cb4951b7c0c70af056cd3d.mp4

53f looking hard for any bare spots on south slopes. Nothing yet

Today felt so nice. 46F. Looking hard on my south slopes to find any bare patches but no luck today. Perhaps tomorrow? I have not been following the weather closely, too much going on but Wed night looks to be interesting. Another tough call for my area, wet or white?

Eat some and burn it off. Round and round we go? Beautiful day today. Newfound Lake Ice Derby. Many people on the lake. I would guess we are max ice thickness for the year as the sun starts taking a toll even on sub freezing sunny days.

Beautiful day today. 11" at my snowstake out back on level ground. Snow stake in this picture is on a slight southward slope and measures about 9 or 10" Seems a deer wanted to investigate it judging by the tracks nearby. I never get tired of the view out our windows.

Clouds have been pretty thick all day. Seemed to be stuck at 33.8F A couple of drips off the roof but no real melting today. Doesn't look like much melting this week just adding to snowcover on Tuesday.

Balmy -6.5F on my hill. Alex, like you said that strong sun makes a difference. We are almost 2 months since the winter solstice. Sun angle today is like late October. Sun is starting to make the dents in south facing snow banks and warming up car interiors.

-6.6F up here on the hill.

215pm Clear skies 9.8F Snow depth 10" 58.75" season (SNE your missing out on so much fun!) PS Anyone that wants to take a 1:50 minute drive from downtown Boston and come up and chip ice dams tomorrow off my roof, be my guest. I'll let you use my snowblower and make a paths in my back fields too. Knock yourself out!

I was surprised to wake up to almost 1" of snow. We got about 1/4" yesterday morning too. Slowly ticking up to around 57" for the season. It doesn't seem like I have gotten that much with frequent thaws but we have managed to have a fairly constant snow cover most of the winter. If bare patches during warm spells on south facing slopes. Looks like a 3-6" snowfall tomorrow. Once we move to late February with increasing solar insulation I am ready for spring although I know March is still a winter month in NNE

31.6F Thick fog. Gray and wintery today. Light snow started around 8am and gave me about 1/4". Bit of freezing drizzle during the day but temps have remained below freezing. Ceiling has been very low so mostly in low clouds all day. 9" at the snow stake and the snow is dense with quite a bit of sleet mixed in.

Saw that -24F on Alex's weather station. I can't remember but I think he recorded a -34F last year. That might be the lowest temperature since moving to there. I had a balmy 0F up on the hill. Never do good with radiational cooling my best is CAA temps. It is really beautiful around here with the ice on the trees. Starts just north of Tilton NH on Rt 93.

Storm total was about 6" Interesting ride today from Concord NH north to my house. I had mostly sleet yesterday with some freezing drizzle and a bit of freezing rain. Just 5 miles south of me was much heavier freezing rain with all the trees glazed. A really beautiful ride from here to around Brian's area. Around Concord NH the ground was snow covered but only looked like a couple of inches. The hilltops had glaze but lower elevations did not.

Nice sunset tonight. Brian might know where this is. Pretty pathetic snow cover for Feb 4th. That looks to change Thursday/Friday I have been out of the loop for so long. Trying to figure out sensible weather from me to Concord NH on Thur/Friday. Seems like a total mess. I'll take snow but seems like quite a bit of ice will be involved with part 2.

I don't know anything about this trail but I think (and could be very wrong) that Go Pro cams are wide angle so it might make this trail look a bit narrower than it is. Again I could be totally wrong.

Holy crap. I have not been on the boards or looking at models much lately but just did. What an active pattern coming up starting late this week. So many precipitation types and storms. Winter is going to make a comeback throwing all kinds of stuff at us.

Just checking in. 3-4" of hard packed snow at the house. Just did a 120 miles of driving, Newfound Lake to Dartmouth to Concord. Very thin snow cover the whole way. Bare ground in just about all places except on my hill. Well less than 50% coverage in Concord. Very quiet weather pattern which for personal reasons makes me very happy.

Hi Guys (and Diane). I have been missing in action the past week to 10 days. My husband caught Pneumonia over 3 weeks ago and it has been quite the battle. At first it was not too bad with home care but by last weekend he was in the hospital. Things got worse and worse and we almost lost him on Monday in ICU. He has been on a ventilator since then but finally today came off and is doing better but he has a strange fungal infection and they told me to expect several more weeks in the hospital. That is the only downside of living in NNE away from big medical centers. So give your love ones an extra hug because life can change in a flash. Taking a hospital break and looking at what might happen this evening. 4pm 33.1/32F here. Was 32.7/31 when I got home 2 hours ago. Noticed Euro gives me a few sloppy inches this eve but seems too warm?

My afternoon high today was 8F, low -1.2F although I was at 14F at midnight. Will today be the coldest high afternoon temp of the season? Next Tuesday might be colder. We are just about at the climatological lowest temperatures of the year about now.

Some light snow has begun for tonight's little system 31.8/28 Seems like winter finally arrives for NNE. Bit of snow tonight. Then the Thursday system. Arctic air with upslope after that. Then the weekends storm. GFS has a 960mb storm crossing the area in fantasy land around next weekend. Let's just hope it's not a cutter to bring a big melt but like I said that's fantasy land. During this time enough cold air for the duration so there will be no melting

It's Sunday evening and I'm safely back under freezing. Yeah, that was quite the thaw. Snow is around my parts of Central NH is still mostly intact in the woods and below about 800 feet. The hills really took the brunt as they stayed in the warm air all day yesterday, through the night and all day today. Down below it was cooler all and all and there was less wind. In a way Im happy we got wiped clean. It's only very temporary with winter storms looming for later this week. The warmth cleared the ice dams on the north side of the house and the deer are out happily munching in the fields and finding old apples and acorns. Its a good chance for them to get a couple days worth of nutrients before we recoat the landscape. Newfound Lake is only 1/2 ice covered and no one has put Bob houses on the ice yet. Pretty unusual for mid January. The people with snowmobiles must be very unhappy. Very little sledding this year. The ski resorts can start making snow again now. Several winter storms on the horizon so part 2 of winter resumes now.

I bet you don't loose your pack. You go above 40F for 36 hours and probably never hit 50F. Storms lined up for next week. You'll be fine. I doubt I loose my pack either but hopefully a few bare patches for my herd of deer

My dentists is also a photographer. Last night the full moon and clear skies worked out to get this great picture

Nice nippy January day. Mid teens look to be the high for me. Waiting on Euro to see ice potential for later this weekend.. I'm still excited about Brian's squall last night. A few hours with bursts of squalls to give 7" is to be remembered. Happy Birthday Scott Alex, thanks for fixing your cam. Perfect view of the summit of Mt Washington Diane, next time I'll make sure you are working before I visit PS You can tell I don't like handles. Jeez, this isn't a political forum. We all get along up here

I made a timelapse for a part of last evening with the streamer just to my south. It's kind of hard to see (best viewed in a dark area) but you can see the snow reflecting off the lights and the moon lighting up the top of the clouds. We just missed the streamer but it looked like a bit of those lake effect videos. Wish it had been daylight https://video.nest.com/clip/c6343db4407748fb8ba9d5ff2ea45978.mp4
