Just got home from Franconia Notch flying my drone. Great model trends today (for me). At my elevation I should be snow from the get go. A 32.5F mauling can cause so much tree and power outages. Wood stove and genny and I should be fine. Setup the phone if we loose internet. As long as Euro doesn't do anything funky all systems go for a fun first storm.

On that date I was working at Weather Services in Bedford. We had to call town highway departments with manual weather forecasts. It was mid evening in Bedford. Heavy rain. I got off work and headed west. I hit the snow line just west of town. Within 1 mile went from heavy rain to heavy snow. The line was stationary and I drove my car back and forth through it. Amazing difference in short distances. Drove back home to Newton in heavy rain. Woke up next morning to a foot. Great evening!

They certainly are. I was worried yesterday with the east trend that NH would be left mostly out but 12Z shows everything coming back west. As long as the Euro does it is game on. Lower elevations especially in my area may briefly start as rain. This will be a heavy wet snow at first with potential for power outages with strong NE winds. As low departs the snow will become drier with more blowing and drifting. It will be interesting to see how you and Alex do with the synoptic part but don't fret. Some of the heaviest snow comes in your area as low is departing and upslope begins. Say good bye to bare ground. You will see it again come April

Whites on Sunday will have snow showers and squalls, temperatures in the 20's at lower elevations with strong NW winds. Blowing and drifting snow

I have not paid attention to today's rain and snow showers. I see the snow is right over Phin's head in the cam. Our house cleaner is coming and we want to be out of the house so might take the drone up to Franconia Notch and fly up to "The Watcher" if it is not precipitating. Still don't have a good feeling about tomorrow's storm. Wish the models would back it west at least 50 miles. Today's trends will be key.

Trend is your friend. That general trend taking everything the past 2 or 3 days has been east. I just don't have a good feeling on this one for us up here. They NH hype machine starts on the 6pm news tonight.

Hum, don't like the look of this storm. Mid to even upper 30's Saturday AM dropping to 32/33F for much of the storm. Another birch bender like 2 years ago. Did a lot of tree damage and power problems at my 1100 foot level. Could this be a repeat? We can start locking in a path after the 12Z Euro. Time to get gas for the genny

Nice trend for you guys down south. Whiff up here.

18Z GFS Nada, goes SE 18Z Euro Way west, mostly rain Well that narrows it right down Goodnight

Yesterday's Euro was way west with rain. Today's Euro was 30" of snow. 18Z GFS is a total miss. I'm glad I'm not an on air Met trying to narrow this down. Just sitting back and watching. Quick snow shower left a coating of snow a bit earlier

34.5F Light snow vis 2-3 miles Nice Euro run. This is how NNE gets it done. 975mb low coming north 2-3 feet for most. Lock it in! (of course just like yesterday's Euro cutter track this will probably not happen as shown but we know there will be a storm and someone will jack in New England) nice to have something to track. Here is Kuchera clown map. Subtract 1" or so from today's nonsense.

NH, Maine and most of VT still in the game with 12Z Euro 977mb elbow of Cape perfect

12Z GFS leaves NNE high and dry for weekend.

Be nice or I am going to send you back to your SNE cage.... I have not looked at models since yesterday. Then it looked like the Euro was way west with another cutter. Now we could be too far west according to the GFS. Trend is east. This is why I don't invest too much time dissect each model run days out.

Euro now on board with something potentially big this weekend. Cutter or coastal? Finally something to track. Glad we got a soaker yesterday before the ground froze. Trees needed that for an early spring start.

Yep, it was Eyewall. I had not skimmed the thread and was having a brain freeze. He was so upset moving up here and took him so long to see some vicious snow squalls. His second winter was much better. He took great pictures with his drone

Who was the poster that moved to Vermont several years back and had a drone like me. We promised him so much snow and that year was a big snow drought. I think everything kept going south?

I have to admit I'm not minding 60F on Dec 1rst. I know what lies ahead. Best part is no salt on the roads yet

2.06" for me. For the first time in months getting my pond back

I would guess that a south or southeast wind will really rock you. You and I both have south exposures. Have you thought about a home weather station so you can check out conditions when you head south?

43F Moderate rain. .50". Winds SE 14 gusting to 25mph. That roar sound is just starting in the woods. If the wind can mix down I should have some nice gusts later.

Took a 125 mile ride through the Whites today. Beautiful day with the Franconia and Presidentials range snow covered above 2500 feet or so. Hit the snow line at the top of the Kanc. Rivers still running low. Lots of hunters and hikers out. Anyone else use weatherbell? Seems like it is running really slow.

What a beautiful day in New Hampshire. Took a 125 mile ride through the Whites. First north through Franconia Notch. Snow line was around 3000 feet. Then NE around the Northern Whites to Gorham and south to Conway and over the Kanc to Lincoln and south to Plymouth. Presidentials and Franconia Range were snow covered above 3000 feet. Driving over the Kanc the ground was snow covered at the top of the pass.

J Spin, I agree with you. Even with cutters the upslope always leaves the Greens and Whites with snow on the backend. That second system looks interesting. Not often do you see a sub 960mb over New England,

42F Light to moderate rain shower just passed. Looking at the Cannon NH cam it's snowing pretty good at 4000 feet. White Mountains should be snowcapped tomorrow above 2500 feet or so. Weather wise tomorrow looks like the last good day for awhile. I have not been on the boards today and haven't read any comments but a quick look at the 12Z GFS does show the second cutter trending east. 960mb low over New England is very impressive although it is 200 hours out
