  1. 12F and clear. Great visibility today. Low was 5F Snow depth around 5"
  2. Reached a high of 16.8F about an hour ago and now down to 14.7F. In the coldest airmasses that I have seen I have stayed just below zero during maximum heating. So although this is a cold airmass it is not even close to what can be experienced.
  3. True arctic conditions on the higher summits today. Actual temperatures below zero with strong winds, blowing snow and avalanche dangers. Just brutal conditions. Are the 2 hikers still missing in addition to the death of the rescuer?
  4. Sitting inside in our sunroom with the woodstove roaring. Cat wants to go outside. Looks inviting through glass...but... We are right at the heart of deep winter. Noon 15.5F Partly cloudy with passing flurries and blowing snow. Snow depth only 5" about 36" for the season While we stay high and dry nice pattern for the Mid Atlantic this week
  5. 32.0F Moderate snow squall. Vis 1/4 to 1/2 mile
  6. I used the leaf blower and it took 5 minutes. Leaf blowers work great in 15F fluff
  7. This picture has been going around the internet and I can't determine if it is photoshopped. Does anyone has any idea what would make ice form like this? I can't come up with one. Thoughts?
  8. Thanks for your response J Spin. I think that was someone else, I never had that in my signature but I have kidded in the past that I live in Dendriteland. I do feel that my weather is much more in line with NNE. This year because we have had fewer synoptic storms I can't really join in the fun that the posters that live in the Greens or people like Alex or Phin that live in the Whites since I don't get upslope snow. In that regard, I along with the Maine guys have been left out but all in all, year after year I generally do very good. Just being able to look outside and see a solid snowpack makes me happy. There has been lots of talk in the past about where CNE starts and ends. If you were to include the entire state of Maine, heck we would all live in S or CNE. Broadly I take CNE from the Mass line north to me which includes the Lakes Region of NH. As soon as you get to the Southern Whites (which is about 10 miles north of me) you are in solid NNE climate. It gets more complicated in VT because the Green Mountain spine goes all the way south to the Mass line so Vermonters get more snow and less of a marine influence, hence a colder, snowier winter. Everyone has there own interpretation and all and all I am very happy as to where I live as far a winter weather is concerned. Today ended up being a great example. Solid snow cover, temperatures staying in the teens with snow falling at various rates all day. Speaking to that my neighbors rented out their house this week to a Washington DC area family that wanted to get out of town with all the inauguration activity. The family has 2 boys and they have been outside sledding and playing in the snow non stop the last few days. It's stuff like this we take for granted but kids don't get many opportunities down there for winter type fun.
  9. 16.7F Vis 1 mile light snow. Sun dimly visible but picked up 1.5" of fluff.
  10. 15.5F Light to almost moderate snow. About 1" of pure fluff.
  11. 14.6F light snow. Vis 1.5 miles Edit: Moderate snow vis 1/2 mile
  12. I really enjoy reading your posts about your first NNE winter. Now you see that even with a cutter or two once you get a deep base it just doesn't melt until spring. This is been a very boring pattern south of the mountain so you guys up there do good even without the real storms. Enjoy.
  13. Finally, a nice cool morning 13.2F Snow skies above. Flurries and a quick snow squall gave me about 1/3" yesterday. Newfound Lake finally freezing over
  14. Other than about 2.5" of slushy crap here during the synoptic part of the last storm nothing has happened the last couple of days. Stray flurries here and there. The ground is white with crusty snow but it's a different world on the south side of the mountains. Glad your enjoying winter. It's funny I feel I'm not part of the NNE group with all your upslope snow but not the SNE group either. Just lost here in Central NH as we wait for the next one whenever that may be...
  15. Have the evening news on. WMUR is talking about how warm it has been. For Concord NH January is running 9.4F above average. 29 straight days above normal. Last time we had a day below normal was on Dec 20th. For January 11 days of highs 40F+
  16. I'm sitting at 32F which is slightly above average. Just a guess but 23F is slightly above average for you on the coldest week of the year. Just a guess. Wish there was better long term data in the Whites. Maybe someone knows?
  17. 32.9F with occ. very light snow/flurries. Brighter to the south.
  18. Another 1/4" last night. 5" at the snowstake.. Alex....that is the2nd plastering your trees have taken this year
  19. Next up will be a taste of your first real cold. Mid teens for highs. In reality that isn't super cold but a step in that direction. When NNE stays below zero all day you know you have a nice cold airmass. That is about 15F colder than what is coming up. Snow is fine but I can do without subzero real temperatures. It's funny, when we have a stretch like that and then it finally gets up to 20F it seems warm.
  20. Still getting mixed moderate showers. Slush bowl. 33.1F Meanwhile Concord NH 35 miles south by the way the crow flies is 46F
  21. 32.4F Light snow/sleet/rain. 2.25". Main batch of precip is exiting. Storm was all frozen until the very end. Much of the snow feel at 32.5 to 33.4F so didn't add up to much but definately a net gain. Perhaps wrap around moisture can give me a bit more tonight before the deep freeze.
  22. Moderate snow 32.4F trees becoming caked as temp ticks down.
  23. 32.5F Moderate to heavy snow. After rising from 32F predawn I rose to 33.3F with a light mix or rain and snow. Temp has fallen back and snow is now whitening the trees and accumulating again
  24. 33F Moderate parachutes. Winds roaring. Webcams don't pick up falling snow too well
