These snow squalls are vicious. The one that went through here only lasted 5 or 10 minutes but it snowed about the hardest I have ever seen it. Tough to measure with a roaring wind and snow that was on the ground from a bit earlier today. Here are 2 pictures from the Nest Cam just before and during the squall. It was a wow! What would you say that visibility dropped to? Tomorrow I will fly the drone to get an exact distance to the edge of my stone wall.

Wow just wow. Extreme snow squall. Very vicious and quick hitting. Probably the lowest vis that I have ever seen at my house.

19.3F Light snow Skies clouded up early this mornng. Light snow began an hour ago. Around 1/4" of an inch. Hopefully we can get a quick intense snow squall later.

Phin, My max temp was 54F yesterday. Stayed around 50 to 52F last night. Like you I have lots of bare spots on south facing slopes but otherwise good. Do you think the downsloping wind off the mountains just across the valley to your south boost you are few degrees with cutter type systems?

7am 50.3F 8am 34.1 30% grass on my south exposed fields. Near 100% elsewhere

Alex, get sleet up real quick or you will have a sheet of ice forever

53/41F No bare spots yet even on Central New England south slope.

1230pm 55/42F Looks like that is it for the sun. My pack is just so glaciated. Even with 18 more hours of warmth and dews I wonder how much I will be able to melt? About 6" left in south facing slopes, more in woods. For the last week a bunch of deer are just yarded up in the woods behind the house. Very hard for them to walk around with this type of snow. I hope I can melt enough off so some bare spots appear. Let them get some grazing in before it gets covered up again next week. (You can see one of my snowstakes down near the fence. Wide angle lens makes it appear crocked but it is not

Congrats to you guys down there. I have not even paid attention to this storm. Just high and middle clouds with blue sky to the NW. My 35" winter continues up here with no storms in sight other than a warm cutter later. Solid 9" pack that I can walk that will be mostly gone by next weekend. The storm to my SE did give a nice sunset. If I can't post snow pics than I guess a sunset will have to do.

Temps stayed around 40F all night. Snow stake down to 10" but no bare spots showing on even the steepest south slopes.

Looks like you have a -15F or so night coming up. Enjoy!

I, like you get roasted on a day like today with our south facing slope. 47.7F As we head towards spring the disparity between the south facing and north facing slopes increases. My brother lives in Aspen. With the high elevation and southern latitude the sun really melts the south side of the mountains. I notice it less in New England. My pack is so dense right now that I only lost a couple of inches today. 11" at the snow stake remains.

Beat ya 47.7F (Maybe not as your post was 2 hours ago) We were down in Tilton yesterday and came back through Franklin. . Looking at the snow on the rooftops and banks we seem to have double what you had. Even with full sun and the torch all day the pack has only settled an inch or two. Still 11" at the snow stake

More snow than I have this season, but still 12" of glacier otg.

Showers came through here mid afternoon. Temp was 41F but quickly dropped to 36F with rain changing to a brief period of parachutes. Pack is down to 12" but with so much water content melting will be a slow process

When Phin first moved up here last year we didn't have any snow until late in the fall. Growing up in Metro Baltimore I understood his anxiety. This is a much more typical C/NNE winter. Phin will still be having snowstorms 6 weeks from now. You do loose the anxiety and don't even pay attention to the 1 to 3" or 2-4" events.

33F Mixed rain and snow 2.25"

25F light to moderate quick bursts of snow and in between snizzle. Around 1/2"

Ha, a refresher? Your snow is what, 12 hours old! Enjoy!

Sorry to hear all the heat issues. We have oil and a wood burning stoves. I go 50/50 depending on how lazy I am. The wood burning stove keeps the house comfortable on days above 20F. We don't have a house generator but a portable Honda generator that runs fridge, space heater and lights but not the well. We can always melt snow for water needs. So we are all set for prolonged ice storm situations. That is the only thing I really dread in winter. -3F last night Only 32" of snow so far this winter. Looking forward to see what the 12Z GFS looks like for this possible wet snow coming up.

Here is the snowfall map from the last storm. Big gradient through my area. I think I set a record for the longest cleanup of a 6" storm. The 1" or so of sleet was just so compact and frozen it was near impossible to remove. Cleanup for a 18" powder snowfall is easier than 1" of cement sleet. Another way below zero night. I think I had 2 last year. Tonight will be #13.

Boys, this one may sneak up on a lot of people, bit more qpf to come hour 84 12Z NAM 10:1

6" final Rain began late Thursday afternoon. During the evening it very slowly transitioned to snow and sleet. I lost a few hours of accum with temperatures sliding down through the 30's. During the night from late evening to 3am was a peltfest. We flipped around that time and it snowed of varying intensities all day until well into the evening. So the 6" has a layer of sleet under the snow. Today's choir is raking the flatter area of the roof. Ice dams are building up Even so we have a 15" durable pack now that has built up through many storms. Now on to Monday's chances

We finally have a good pack up here. 15" or so. Made up of several storms, some with sleet and glaciated layers. This pack is durable. Another 3-6" up here would barely be noticeable. Time to roof rake today. 1" of sleet mixed in with snow. Not fun Hope it trends better for SNE. You are welcomed for this one

Still snowing and accumulating. Closing in on about 7".
