  1. Welcome to NH Diane. Best move I ever made moving up here. NNE subforum grows!
  2. 42F Light rain. Rain shield pulling east. .85"
  3. Heavier rain now coming through our area up here. 39.2F Moderate rain. About 1/3" so far
  4. Just read the SFO weather discussion. Not a storm but historic offshore wind event coming. Don't see this type of wording in AFD's very often. Big fire is now ongoing north of SFO but the whole area is primed for fire.. A potentially historic, long duration, extremely critical offshore wind event is forecast to occur beginning around 8pm tonight and persist through early Monday. The storm prediction center has placed the North Bay and portions of the Sacramento Valley under the highest fire weather risk, extreme, while most remaining portions of the San Francisco Bay area are under critical fire level risk. Internal statistical analysis tools suggests the offshore component of these winds are over 6 standard deviations above the norm with this event (3.5+ is usually near record, so that is extreme). Aside from the long duration... extremely strong offshore winds, critically low humidity, dry fuels that are primed to burn, and wildfire already on the ground (from the Kincade fire) have all combined to bring these extreme fire weather conditions. Peak wind gusts are expected to occur between 3am and 10am Sunday morning, with gusts of 60-80mph at 2500+ ft, across the ridges/peak, with 40-60mph gusts 1000-2500ft, and 25-40mph possible down to sea level in the valleys and major urban areas of the San Francisco Bay Area/Santa Cruz mountains. Winds will remain gusty through the day Sunday, but will ease slightly through the day, particularly by the afternoon to early evening.
  5. I'm going through old photo's and just found these. No date. I've had the house up here since 1989 so really don't know. Maybe the winter of 2008 which was a big one but could be older.
  6. Thanks Will and Jerry. Yeah, just the quick parameter found on most sites.
  7. Quick question for you guys since we are talking cold and snow. In general what is the best parameter to look at for snow vs rain? 540 thickness or the 850mb temperature? I know a lot more goes into snow forecasting than this but when I quickly look ahead in incoming weather events I'm not sure what is better to use. Thanks
  8. My brother lives out in Aspen. So much snow all ready. He sent me this picture. It made me laugh
  9. 64F clear skies on Oct 24th. Not bad.
  10. .67" last night, bit lower than modeled. Maine guys are doing well. Mostly cloudy, sprinkles some sun 60%-70% bare trees now
  11. Our peak foliage passed with the last big storm. Today it's the oaks turn. Enjoy SNE
  12. Beautiful day today but a Lady bug invasion. My neighbors commented on it too. They were swarming all over the house trying to get in. Don't know why there was so many today other than it was warm and sunny after some colder nights. Anyone else notice them? Maybe a NNE thing right now??/
  13. I flew my drone up over my house to take a look north towards the Whites and snow cover. The only snow I could see was the very top of the Franconia Range and distant Mount Washington. I couldn't even see any snow on top of Cannon. Of course I'm looking north 35 miles so if there is an inch or so I'm not going to be able to see it. Still it's neat to fly the drone a few hundred feet over my house and be able to see most of the Whites to the north.
  14. 45F Light rain. Looks like around .08" so far.
  15. 48F Light rain. Enough the ground is wet but that is about it. Some heavier echoes on radar about to move through.
  16. One last lawn picture. I cheat because I have a lawn service. You can see the difference between the hill area that they treat and the base which is "as is". Still quite a few leaves on the trees, oaks hanging on....also this is a good picture of my mast for the VP2. Just the anemometer up here the base station is out in the field
  17. 46F Mostly cloudy with occasional mist showers. Cloudy to the north but lots of sun to the south. Very typical for upslope situations. Still have not had any frozen anything this season last year on this date had some snow.
  18. Kind of neat to have 28.81" on the barometer but totally calm winds now. Not a leave is stirring. Low is right overhead.
  19. 50F Moderate rain Wind N 3 28.77" lowest pressure 28.72" 2.15" rain so far. Peak wind gust E 38 Scattered trees down in the area. Trees now about 30% bare. Power flickers for me. Getting my pond back. 5 ducks waddling around in 8" of water. I was running a deficit on rain the past 6 weeks so this is a plus. Clean up day upcoming
  20. I'm kind of surprised how light the wind is right now. Had a stiff breeze earlier but now the wind is really light. Noted Keene NH past hour had calm winds. Guess no strong high pressure to the north is the reason.
  21. I live almost on top of my 1200 foot hill with Newfound Lake to my southwest, west and northwest. The Cardigan mountain range 2000 to 3000 feet is 10 miles to my west so I don't think downslope will be a factor.
  22. Winds starting to really crank up here on my hill. 12Z Euro lowest pressure 973mb Northfield NH
  23. Got in a drone flight this morning before the storm takes the leaves. The warm water of Newfound Lake always form the fog cloud on cold mornings.
  24. I have a doctors appt in Plymouth on Thursday AM. Depending on how it works out I might take a quick ride up to Franconia Notch. I also watch Alex's cam to see what is happening around 1500 feet in the Whites.
