Winter temperatures have returned. Still a total glaciated pack but not more than 4 or 5". Since I have lots of family in the Baltimore/DC area I have been messaging all day with my friend Bob Turk who is the TV met down there. What a tough forecast. Very sharp north cutoff through the metro. No excitement here.

Quick question. Is there any snow on the ground in Metro Boston? From the NH network I can see that the ground is covered around the Mass/NH line but the Mass Cam network is down. I'm just curious if metro west/Rt 128 on the north side is totally bare? Thanks

That is the truck that I ordered last July. It's the Ford Maverick Hybrid. 40 miles per gallon but just front wheel drive. I got the upgraded Lariat model and it was only $28K. I also reserved a Ford F150 Lightning. It comes out in 2022. I will drive the Maverick and then decide to trade in for the full electric Lightning. My worry is that there are so many electric cars coming out that fast charging stations will not keep up and there will be waits to charge. Besides the truck on order we have aToyota RAV4 Prime. That is a plug in hybrid. So you can drive it on the gas/electric engine like any other hybrid but you can plug it in too and when you do you get 42 miles of pure electric driving. So for us we drive on the electric 90% of the time and then the truck changes to the gas/hybrid and we get about 32 mpg.

Yeah, they are. Much more. Since the house was built in 1795 it's considered historical and always had wood shakes. So we went all out to try to match the beauty of those which I have had to replace twice sinc 1989. These have a 50 year warranty so will way outlive me

I think I had it to family and friends only. Try it now, 10 seconds of pure entertainment

We put a new roof on the house this fall. It's a composite plastic shake made by a company called DaVinci. Similarly slippery as metal I guess. Here is a picture of the roof. This south side just let go. My weather cam is next to the door in the center. I just made this video from it of the avalanche. 6 seconds into the video. Turn your volume down first. If 3" of snow does this I can't wait until we get our first 1 footer. The cats are still in hiding. The pole is my Davis anamometer. The weather station is out in the field not in view. https://video.nest.com/clip/107c1b216d6b4f9595463752c48591f5.mp4

The perfect Christmas. The storm started as freezing rain here which surprised me. I thought snow, mix and then back to snow with the 2nd patch. 3" here Off topic Alex but maybe others would want to know. You bought a Tesla this fall. How is it in the snow and especially cold? I really want one. I am concerned with ground clearance on icy snow that could damage the underside.

Where are you? You can put your location next to your user name.

25F Very light snow with some sleet. 1.75" so far

24F Vis about 1 mile, light snow. Eyeballing about an 1" since flippage

Temp has fallen back a bit 23.8F Light to moderate snow

24.8F Light snow. Freezing rain mixed with IP and then flipped in past 10 minutes

24.5 Light freezing rain and sleet. Snow line seems to be drifting south. Was freezing rain in Plymouth but flipping to snow

23 ZR and bit IP I thought it would start a snow or IP with no freezing rain this far north. Looks like it's ZR in Plymouth NH but snowing at Waterville Valley

Nice. My nephew and sister in law live in Bristol. Brian loves snow and bought a snowblower when he moved down there from Metro West Boston. He has been so frustrated. He is out there now finally using the blower. It will be gone Im sure in tomorrows rain but he is having fun

32.4F Light snow. Freezing rain went to all rain in the past hour but just as precip looks to end here it went back to light snow. Upper air must be cooling off?

30.7F Light freezing rain/catpaws. Webcam showing it is snowing at Waterville Valley but not in Plymouth. Heavy precip looks to stay just east of me

29.9F Light freezing rain dense fog. Light snow turned to freezing rain around 8am. About 1/2" before flip

I use wxbell and love it. They changed the whole layout a couple of years ago. I tried a few subscription services but like this one the best.

Hey Alex. I saw this post 3 hours after you posted it and said, what the heck, it's sunny here. So I took a look at the Sat. Low clouds were banked up against the North facing Whites. The sun angle is the lowest today of the entire year. So a low SE sun and thick low clouds could make it very dark. Just my stab at things. Merry Christmas to you and the family

Wednesday system is sneaking up under the radar. 12Z Euro will be interesting

We just put on a new composite shake roof and were wondering how well the snow would stick to it. Just got our answer. Wait for it.... https://video.nest.com/clip/2ce0a175379141d7a91e2ec7916a439a.mp4

I don't want to rub it in your face or Alex's but look who is in front of ya'll on the snow contest!

8.25" Final. The webcam at my neighbors 400 feet higher looks like about 10"?? on their picnic table.
