37/14 8pm 14 Apple trees in full bloom. This may not be good.

Scott, I think the reason is 3 fold. The most important is the elevation difference. 2nd my skies are about 70% filled with Cu coming off the mountains. I can look south towards Brian and Cu becomes much more scattered the further south you go. He is getting more solar. The 3rd factor and the least important is I'm a bit further north into the colder air.

41/22F is even worse with a fair amount of sun

40.9/21F Partly cloudy and almost noon. Our apple trees are in full bloom. I don't have a good feeling for tonight. IMO Gray should push the button and go with a freeze warning for us in Central NH.

Hum, The 12Z GFS comes in colder again. 29F in my area of Plymouth NH for 2 hours. 925mb is colder too, down to -1F. Smoke is very thick right now, very dim sun so we will start with a lower launching pad this evening. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. All our apple trees are in full bloom. Argghhh

Hey guys, checking in... Alberta smoke is very thick this morning. Clearly visible on the satellite pictures. It is interesting you are discussing the smoke affect with the frost/freeze potential coming up. I have been wondering if the fropa would bring Eastern Canadian air down from Quebec and shove the smoke to our south for a couple of days? Looks like that would happen. What level do you most of the smoke is? 850mb? Looking outside from my view I can easily see 30 miles. I found this smoke website https://firesmoke.ca/forecasts/current/

The Horse Chestnut is doing great. It is on the right in the picture. We fertize it each year along with our Red Maple and Ash tree. The neighbors Ash trees across the dirt road are dying with the Ash Borer. We treated our Ash trees for that last year. It's good for 2 years. Oh, the American Chestnuts are doing good too! Come over anytime for a visit!! Be great to see you and Lisa

I just noticed how much smoke has come in.

The rain has really helped my lawn but I have a lawn guy too so I don't take credit.

Finally some sun

Finally some sun

We just had a heavy rain shower with either small hail or graupel. No thunder or wind. Would today's "ice pellets" be considered as hail? It's 48F but has been snowing today above 3750 in the Whites

Moderate to heavy rain 43F

48f Moderate shower with lots of graupel

2.20" here. Lots of flooded roads around. Greenup is just starting in earnest. First dandelions today too.

44F Light rain. As of 4pm it is snowing above 3500 in the Whites.

Looking at the Waterville NH webcam at 3500 feet it is snowing pretty good right now.

Snowy morning in the Whites above about 3000 feet. Below is a shot from the Waterville Valley cam. It is at 3500 feet

45F Moderate rain showers with drizzle in between. Yet these are low clouds and I can see blue patches between the stratus with the sun coming out while it is raining. The sun is so strong I'm getting ground fog like in winter over snow in a humid airmass. Kind of unusual. About .35" since last evening and 2.45" for the whole event Going back to the Aurora, the big event in 2003? I was up here. Digital photography just begining. With the naked eye it was awe inspiring. Extremely noticeable. Everyone was taking about it. So, yes it can be that bright. Last night was so exasperating for me as I like Astronomy. Even the best Aurora can't compare to a full total eclipse.

You are spot on. It seems these days everyone uses either time exposures or some post processing. It is very hard to know what you would see just looking up at the sky. In general photography is blurring into art a bit. The picture from Cromwell had to be one of these. That bright patch could never be that white.

From what I understand there is an amazing geomagnetic storm hitting the Earth right now. Aurora's can be seen way south. Of course it's cloudy. Kp index 7.7

38.7F Moderate rain About 1.5" Trivia... Who was famous for saying we are in the Wheel of Misfortune?

38.8F Moderate rain. A little over 1"

GFS very bullish. I need a few more inches to hit 100". Still 100% bare trees up here

My sister in law and her 2 children have Covid right now. Kids are fine but sister in law is really sick. I thought it had gone away
