I see the same thing over the years on Franconia Notch. Lincoln is sunny and dry, Franconia cloudy with flurries. The NW upslope makes all the difference. If you like snow you picked the right place to live. Would have you been miserable if when you were scouting locations you picked North Conway or Lincoln? Partly cloudy 28F here bare ground for the most part

Happy Thanksgiving to you AMWX NNE's. Congrats to the areas just north of me that got snow. Had a mix with the heavier rain bands last evening. About 25% of old snow remains while up at Alex's it's a Winter wonderland.

625pm Wed Heavy rain and snow 38.6F 75% rain but with catpaws and few mangled flakes Surprised snow is mixed in

43.6F lots of melting going on Found this picture taken yesterday of my ridge line. This is looking north from South part of Bristol NH. That white area below the black square are our fields below the house. 1100 feet. We were high enough to have a snow cover but above us it coated the trees too. Peaked Hill to the right of the house is 1940 feet the tallest hill in the local area.

Couple of days ago when you had that beautiful snowfall north of the notch was amazing too. Totally bare ground in Lincoln. Even the mountains around town were bare. Drive into Franconia Notch and come out the other side with substantial snowcover on the ground and on the trees. Guess that how it is on the different sides of the VT spine but it's think it's more rare here for abrupt changes. Maybe not? In any event you have had constant snowcover for a couple of weeks now.

Fropa 130pm. Temp rising quickly as we mix out. Euro seems interesting to me for Sunday. Marginally cold for snow . 850 and 925mb and surface temps from Brian's north right around freezing.

Enjoy it. Cold front in a couple of hours then upslope snow this evening and back into the deep freeze.

Beautiful warm sunny day. Did a quick ride north through Franconia Notch. 100% clear in Lincoln with no snow on the ground. Snowcover quickly builds through the notch and north of there was absolutely beautiful. No wind and perfect temperatures to make every tree just a mantle of white.

33.5F Light snow Vis 3/4 to 1 mile Just took a 10 minute drive. Very sharp rain/snow line. 1/4 mile down my road just rain with a few cat paws. 1/2 mile up my road almost 2" of snow and a winter wonderland. Snow sticking to everything.

34.2F Steady light snow. No more mix

light snow mixed with some rain at times. 34.2F

35.6F cloudy vis up to 10 miles. Storm total .42" Just a cloudy day yesterday although we were under a WWA the whole day. Light rain and 33-34F overnight. Rain turned to snow mid morning. Got a quick slight coating with some giant parachutes, temp at 33.5 to 34F as they fell and melted within a half hour. To keep up with you and J Spin I could add .1" or .2" to my seasonal total but it was gone in an eyeblink I'll just record it as a T day. Tomorrow looks like perhaps .10" or .15" of qpf with temps in the low 30's. Maybe another coating. Old snow from last week is mostly gone except some in the woods here and there.

Yeah, its so hard to have sustained bare ground up there after mid to late November. You get thaws and cutters but then on the back side get the upslope that refreshes the pack. I don't think you keep stats on snowcover since you moved up from Boston but I just can't remember seeing mostly bare ground on your cam for more than a few days at a time in winter.

I think you will be fine. .50" of precip, if that. It all falls with temps in the 30's so not much melting. Some freezing rain, some sleet then Tuesday it turns back to a couple of inches of snow. I think the net result will be neutral. I certainly don't see any bare ground up there.

18Z GFS backs more qpf into Vermont and western portions of NNE. 18Z on left, 12Z on right. Not sure how accurate these Weatherbell Maps are but I see a .83" of ZR in bullseye places. Enough to cause problems

Nice GOES picture today. Can really see the snowcover line cutting across New England. Yesterday's warm temperatures melted about 50% of my snowcover. Here in Central NH the snow cover line cuts right through my area. 5 miles south almost nothing while just north the snowcover held on. Interesting storm coming up. Obviously no snow of consequence but sleet/freezing rain for much of at least the west portions of NNE. Euro gives me 1" of total qpf.

23F and light snow. Vis about 3 miles I figured there would be some over running snow in the mountains but didn't expect it here.

It's the warm air coming in aloft. Just gray and cold here, 22F. I don't know what is wrong with me but it's only Nov 14th and I'm kind of done with the cold and snow. Why am I thinking about days on the beach and a warm climate?. Something definitely wrong here, I need to go see a therapist.

Impressively cold day today. High was 19.3, low was 6.6 Last November had some impressive cold. I went back to look. On 11/22/18 my high was 12.4 and low 1.7. Although that date is a week later in the season it was more impressively cold relative to normal. Lost my wallet and had to spend the frickin day down in Concord for a new drivers license. Solid snow cover here and starts thinning out pretty quickly as I went south. Only a dusting in the shade in Concord but they sure did salt the roads. (After this wallet fiasco I'm buying those tile things. My brother has them and it's saved him a few times.)

Plus Nashville is 21F at 7pm. I think they broke their record low maximum which was 34F till today. Their record low for tonight I believe is 18F which they should break too.

23.4F (down 8 from high mid morning) Snow flurries. Storm total 2" but probably was a bit more before sleet compacted the late afternoon snow. (How is that really measured? Lets say I had had 2" of fluff yesterday PM and then an hour of moderate sleet to compress the pack quickly back to 1". Is the storm total 2" or 1" if I don't go out to measure before compaction?)

30.9F Light snow Vis 3/4 Looks like I've reached my high temperatures and now falling. Storm total (estimate 2")

30.4F Light snow. Good snow growth vis 1.5 miles Temperatures feel to 32F around 4pm yesterday and have stayed below since. Light snow began yesterday afternoon and changed to sleet then freezing drizzle in the evening as temperatures fell into the upper 20's. Overnight light freezing drizzle. Heavier precip began an hour ago as brief freezing rain then sleet and a change to snow in the past 10 minutes. Total snow/sleet from the first part of the storm about 1/3". Now everything is getting a fresh coat.

I never see rabbits. Very cool

Earlier I heard Franconia Notch was really bad too. I'm at 30.5F with freezing drizzle. The 1/2" of snow earlier was very dense and is mixed with sleet too. My road has not been treated and is compacted icy crap. Much of my town is 600 feet lower than me so it's probably just wet below my elevation.
