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 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
38.1F Light to moderate rain. Vis 1/4 in fog or low clouds. About .70" so far with last batch coming through. Dark day up in these northern latitudes. Nice to have the wood stove cranked and turkey in the oven. Very cozy
Happy T Day to all NNEnglanders...
Up to 30.0F Dusting of snow on the ground is just sitting there. They salted roads here but just drove south 5 miles to Bristol and there was very little evidence they got anything earlier this morning.
Another .25" down in my yearly snow total. Ouch on the Euro for next week. 5" of rain? Good for the drought. A nice deep soak into the deep roots of trees before the ground freezes up. Not so good for winter enthusiasts.
26.8F CAD rules here. SW to NE valley drains the cold right down to me. Many times I have been warmer than Alex in these types of situations. Let's see how long it takes for me to get up to 32F
Yeah, guess that was a bit of an exaggeration. 2 years ago we started with snow cover around Nov 8th. I guess I meant the first snow that falls and never melts in the shady areas up at my elevation because of low sun angle. That is not really a pack...
For NNE it's the track of the storm. In another couple of weeks even with cutters you will start as snow then go to rain and back to snow or squalls. One way or the other you will not have bare ground.
Cutter for early next week? How far into the season can we keep NNE bare? I'm usually building a snowcover up by now. Maybe Phin moving up here has started climate change?
I only got .60" of rain. A few snow showers at the begining yesterday PM and some freezing drizzle in the evening. Axis of heavy precip seemed to be further SE than modeled. Good for the most severe drought areas.
Yeah, that storm blasted areas east of me. Eastern NH had extreme winds with tree damage. We were a bit too far west to get into the brutal part of the storm
32/25 Very light freezing drizzle. Few snow showers past couple of hours. Meh but could surprise a few people with slippery decks if freezing drizzle continues we we slip below freezing....
Coming from Maryland myself and first moving to Metro Boston and then up here in 2001 I use to get really excited for every snow event. You get use to frequent snow events very fast and pretty soon small 2-4" or 4-8" events are no big deal. Some of the most exciting stuff are the heavy snow squalls when visibility drops to a few hundred feet. Noreasters with lots of wind can be pretty impressive although cold storms with lots of wind means flake size is quite small. Big wet spring storms with wet parachutes are a lot prettier. Below is a pretty typical noreaster day when visibilities can be in the 1/4 to 1/2 mile range for hours.

32.7/21 Radar shows echoes over me but the ceiling is pretty high and I can see 40 miles to the SW so nothing is even close to reaching the ground.
What is more exciting, a straight 25F snow event or being close to the changeover line with lots of chances for flipping back and forth? Although being close to a changeover line is much more of a messy cleanup I think I enjoy trying to figure out what is going to happen.
