Congrats KBOX 60.1F

51F Quite windy. Just had a gust to 32mph. We have had a solid pack since Nov 28th. Getting very thin on our south slopes. Lots of water content so it is a slow melt. Maybe a few inches tomorrow night?

It becomes more obvious to people my age. As a kid in the 1960s I kept pretty good records and it was much colder. Climate change has been slow enough that most lay persons don't really notice it. My 92 year old father recently passed away in my home town of Baltimore. There were boxes of old slides from the 50s,60s and 70s. My brother and I were just looking at them and in most winter pictures there was at least some snowcover around the house. Multiple years, different months but way more often than not even the NW suburbs of Baltimore winters with lingering snowcover.

31F Freezing drizzle and freezing rain. From what I hear driving is extremely dangerous in Central NH. It has been in the 20s all day with a bit of snow earlier.

10F Meh. Anyone old enough to remember the winters of yore? I had about 15 nights below zero up here. I think Concord NH had around ten. Growing up in the 1960s and 1970s it was fairly common to have -20F and -30F nights in NNE with good radiational cooling.

I gotta comment on these drones. I have owned 4 over the years and fly alot. My Autel Evo Pro can fly 7 miles from taking off point and can move at almost 50mph if I want it too. It also can fly up to 1640 feet AGL although that is illegal. I can control what lights I want on the drone and can shine down a very bright LCD flood type light. I think there are many copy cats flying drones right now. Also it makes no sense why an adverserial would illuminate their drone if they were up to no good. I still want to see one high quality video or picture.

I'm not sure how accurate my Davis Vantage Pro 2 is but earlier I recorded a 31.02". I is 30.98" now so it seems slightly high.

31.1F -SN My snow cover survived. About 3 to 4" of soon to be glacier left. I have had continuous snow cover for 15 days starting on November 28th. Total on season 18.75"

39F but temperature has been bouncing around. Neighbor up at 1500 feet is 49F. Snow pack remains so far.

Nice to see some 15F temperature differences within 5 miles or so in the west suburbs of Boston.

32.9 -RA I can ice skate on my driveway! The salt water melting off my car is keeping the lower part ice free.

32.1F -RA Driveway and cars are coated with ice but it is starting to melt. Not expecting warmth nor wind up here until fropa. I have a big snow load on the north facing roof and with 2.5" of rain I am hoping to get into the warm air for a few hours. No way this cold rain will erase this pack

Yep, that is what I'm thinking. Several inches of glacier.

30.6F Light freezing rain. The driveway is a sheet of black ice. I got 3.75" of snow last night and the pack is now around 9". Will the warm air get up here? Usually CAD wins at my location. I'm guessing a couple of hours of warmth, maybe the best right after fropa. How much of my pack will be left? I guess it depends if the tropical air gets in here or not.

-SN 3"

SNBS 28.8F Estimating 2.25" I'm surprised at the wind. I can hear it blowing in the trees and snow is dry enough that it is blowing off the roof.

+SN 29.6F Vis 1/4 mile. Good snow growth. 1/2" new

31.4/27 Snow just started.

Last nights fluff gave me around 2". 13" on the season. Nice pack building up but heavy rain next week after a few more inches tomorrow night. Does it stay a cold rain with minimal damage to the pack or do we briefly surge into the warm windy air?

That was a stormy week. Up here in Central NH the hills got a lot of snow on 12/5 and a lot of rain a few days later.

23.4/18 This is what is on the ground. I'll call it 4.5". This clipper will be interesting for me. Sharp cut off just south. Looks like quite a fluff factor. NWS says 3 to 4". Any guesses? I'd go a bit higher than them. I'll post the same shot tomorrow AM. Meanwhile, the GFS has almost 3" of qpf this week. If that front stalls just a bit further east we would get dumped on. Either way CAD will keep me in the 30s. It usually wins.

22F Very light snow. dusting snow depth 7"

Yeah, 1.5" of fluff. Snowing lightly again and up to 31F Maybe some squalls later to add an inch or so?

1.5" of fluff underperformer for sure. Some blue sky
