  1. lost power an hour ago. 43 houses on our loop. Don't think we're going to get it back anytime soon.
  2. 32.1F Light snow. 1.75" Just took a quick drive. No snow accumulation at the bottom of my road 600 feet below me. Roads up at my elevation are slush covered and super slippery. Town did not treat any roads. I think our highway dept all live down below where there is no snow. Just shoveled my driveway before all this turns to solid ice later tonight. Huge bust in my area.
  3. 32.7F Light snow. Just measured 1.25" Temperature has remained within .2F since about noon. Usually it slowly falls as a storm moves northbound to my east. Driveway is a 1" of slush and water and will freeze solid later tonight.
  4. Total disaster here too. I expected 8-14". There is no snow down at Newfound Lake level where most people live. At my elevation of 1100 feet I switched to snow mid day but temp has been stuck at 32.5 to 32.7F. With light rates all day I have only picked up an inch or a bit more. A friend up at 1600 feet says he has received 6" so far. I was worried about the east ticks so we didn't get the rates to bring down cold air.
  5. 32.5F Very light snow. Vis up to about 3-4 miles. I have 1/2" up on my hill but at Newfound Lake level the ground is bare and it's spitting rain and catpaws. This is going to be a very big bust. Also I am surprised with almost calm wind. I'm north 2-5mph. I was worried about the east trend last evening. Hopefully I can score a few inches.
  6. 32.5F Gentle light snow 1/2". Vis perhaps 1 mile
  7. 33.2F Light to moderate snow. Just starting to stick. 500 feet below me it still looks like rain on webcams
  8. 33.8F Light snow mixed with rain. Vis 3 miles .22" rain so far. Precip will have to come down much harder to stick.
  9. 34.1F Transition to snow is almost complete. Up to .17" wasted in liquid. Temperature needs to be falling faster. NWS is going to bust too high in the 8-12" for my area. So far no wind either
  10. 35.0/33 .10" rain so far. Mix of rain and snow. Keeps going back and forth
  11. 36.2F Light rain with catpaws. Temp slowly falling.
  12. 37.4F Sprinkles. Looking at ridgeline it is snowing above 2000 feet
  13. Another east tick in Central NH. Plymouth NH has gone from 1.97" to .43" in past two NAM runs. Unless something changes this is becoming a near miss for me. Walking up to the cliff. Maybe will jump later this evening.
  14. East ticks continue. I have seen this movie many times before. It pounds in Eastern NH while the band makes very little headway west. Maybe 12Z suite will reverse the trend.
  15. 18Z NAM cuts me (Plymouth NH) down to 1.20 from 1.94 at 12Z. It doesn't matter to most, either your in the heavy qpf or not but the steep gradient seems to be wavering right through my area with each model run. Will make a big difference with marginal temperatures during the first part of the event. Wish it was either a hit or a miss.
  16. 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.
  17. 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!
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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
  23. 18Z GFS Nada, goes SE 18Z Euro Way west, mostly rain Well that narrows it right down Goodnight
  24. 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
