30.1F Vis 0 thick fog. Heavy frost. Coldest so far with my first widespread killing frost. Yesterday the storm produced 1.75" of rain and a 10 minute flip to snow around 630am. After the clouds cleared and I could see all the ridgelines the snow level was around 2000 feet. Ragged at 2200 feet was white at the top. Distant Sunapee had snow on it and Cardigan at 3108 was white all day. We took a ride around Newfound Lake and just 5 miles NW of the lake at higher elevations the ground was totally white and the roads were plowed. That again showed to me that even after a day in the 50's with a warm ground if it snows at a good clip it will stick. Of course this was during the dawn hours. White Mountains look very white this morning from the cams

PF, that last picture is award winning beautiful! I found a site that you can upload your favorite picture for a jigsaw puzzle. (Zazzle). Going to steal this picture and post on my timeline.

It's 11:15am and looks like snow shield is leaving NH. Unless someone posts more Alex wins round one. 4"?? What a paste job. We had one similar 2 years ago and birches are still bent. Hopefully temps will warm quickly to let trees rebound

Congrats on the snow. We have to get the snow contest going. Right now your #1

I kidded with Alex yesterday about that tent. They rent out that house and guests have weddings etc. Don't know what is suppose to go on today but the renters might have quite a surprise

Was just texting Alex. He just woke up and looked out and said HOLLY COW. We texted for a minute then his power went out. So no more Cam pic Back to rain here and temp up from 33.5 to 33.8F with light rain but we definately flipped for a short while with some slush on the car windows

I texted Alex last night and asked about the tent set up in his rental house yard where his cam points out at. Hope it holds up!

Temp down to 33.5F It was 75% snow 10 minutes ago but now back to mostly rain with some cats paws. Just noticed a bit of slush on the deck and cars so it must have flipped to all snow for a bit just before I woke up at 640am. Can't discern a rain/snow line on the ridges as I can see up to the top at 1900 behind my house and it is doesn't look like it is snowing at the top.

Just woke up. Temp falling steadily according to VP2 33.7F Flipping over now looking at spot lights

I just looked and I'm just below 0C at 7am at 925mb. Maybe if the precip is going strong I can do a quick brief changeover?? Our neighbor right across the road has a friend up from Miami for the weekend. Would be nice for a quick flip for her. Watch the cams.

Yes, much better than "Sally"

Yup, 12Z GFS brings Hurricane Zeta right over Nantucket hour 252. The subtropical system in the Mid Atlantic Ocean will be Epsilon. Lock it in! Will Zeta's name be retired?

Hum. 12Z GFS faily bullish on this ending as snow in the Whites. Even down in my area perhaps a few mangled flakes as it ends?

First flakes for some tomorrow morning? I'm right at the SE end of the weenie snow maps but maybe with my elevation I can score a few mangled flakes at the end? I wonder what date I usually see first flakage? Accumulating snow if rare in Mid October but flurries at the tail end of a deepening storm isn't so much

45F Moderate to heavy rain. .75" So dark outside. Wood burning stove going. I have missed days like this!

Finally after months of little qpf and boring weather things are looking to become very active just in time for cold season. Still a bit too early for us in NNE but Mid October snow is not very uncommon especially in elevation.

Monday's 12Z Euro has a nice noreaster for New England next weekend. Still way out there but a cold storm with perhaps elevation storm. Mid October elevation snow is not very far fetched for us. Although I assume northern areas now have mostly bare trees but Central New England still foliage is still on the trees. Want to get all the leaves down before any heavy wet snow threats or high wind threats.

GFS has .25 to .50" for most of us for tomorrow's storm. Euro is much more bullish.

50F Dark blue skies overhead. Cloud line slowly receding south. Models have been all over the place with precip tomorrow. One run looks great and the next not so great for me. Onto the Euro. I agree with Brian's comments about plants going dormant. Other than my 1" rain event in late Sept lots of .20" type deals but they don't sink in. Wonder how much a storm would have to produce to a soaking down a few feet in earth where mature plants/trees get their moisture to store for winter?

Watching the storm on Alex's webcam. Really heavy rain and a ton of lightning. Hope we can get the line into my area in next hour before it falls apart.

Crazy storm on Alex's webcam. Heavy rain and so much lightning. Very impressive for Oct 10th

I'm sniffing out a good rain threat at hour 282 on the GFS

Wonder if we can shoot the gap again? We are just a bit too far south for the fropa qpf later today and then early next week the moisture from Delta and the fropa don't connect enough so we slip through an area of light precip. Have not had a drop of water in my pond since the end of June. No ice skating this year unless we start turning on the faucet fast.

That picture of this chaser is in the eye of Michael. It's a great video to watch. The most intense hurricane chase I have ever seen. When I click on it the link brings me to Hurricane Delta. Just quickly looked at it but don't think it had a cleared out eye at landfall

Wow. Josh made it to Cancun. He is the man. He must have more hurricane intercepts than anyone else in the world. This one should be intense. Looking at the graphics the eye should pass around 8am. Hopefully it doesn't speed up so he can get some good daylight video within the eye.
