Today's death toll looks like it will be 1572. (Johns Hopkins site). That will be the highest since Mid May. (There was one day Aug 1rst it jumped to 1800, not sure why). So deaths are starting to tick up for sure. As I have stated on this board my brother is a doctor in the DC area that treats Covid patients and is on his hospitals Covid Committee and also advises for the State of Virginia. He says deaths are way down as compared to the spring because hospitals know so much more about Covid and how to treat very ill patients. He feels the next couple of months are going to be devastating but then with the 2 vaccines coming out Covid will basically be a thing of the past in the US by this summer. His hospital (Inova Fairfax, 1100 beds) expects to have all its medical staff vaccinated by Christmas.

31.1F Moderate snow squall about to end. About 1/4". Trying to join the bigboys club with my friends north of me. Nice to see at least the deck and dirt surfaces white. Probably sublimate away by morning

Maybe it is. I can connect to your cam, Phin's, my neighbors nest cam but if I try mine it errors out. Technology! Arrgghh. We had a 20 year old washing machine never an issue. Finally motor went so we bought a "smart" machine. Now when we have a quick power outage, off and on type the mother board fries. So now we are told we have to unplug and plug in each time we use.

It is interesting to see who will be in the snowy spot Phin or Alex. Last time I checked it was snowing at Phin and not at Alex. Now Alex is getting white but sun is out as Phin. Here 36.7F Occ flurries with vis 3-8 miles as they pass through Sad that this stuff is even worth posting about

Few flurries here. Nice to see it snowing on Phin's cam. Really liking that we now have Alex and Phins cams up north. Just need someone in Thorton/Woodstock or Lincoln facing into Franconia Notch

Same thing here. 37.5F

I agree 100%. The howls waking you up from a deep sleep are the worst. Here is a clip from my Nest Cam from a couple of years ago https://home.nest.com/camera/38f8f3baed6c45d093cfa955f6b8fc73/clips

Ouch. Way out in fantasyland but Euro has a high of 13F a week from Saturday.

Deaths really starting to ramp up. 1340 today. Maybe we can revisit a Covid thread again. Now that elections are over maybe politics can stay out of it?? This is on the verge of getting really bad. Thoughts?

I think I got snow around Nov 8 2018 and then basically had a constant pack till spring except for a few days around Christmas when I had some patches of field showing on the south exposures.

How unusual is this November warm spell? Our departures from norm must be more than SNE. It's longevity makes it very unique. Days and days of near 100% sunshine and no wind. I don't know if there are records that show 7 day departures from norm?

Just another clear, no wind November 70F day. My neighbors are raking leaves and say it's almost perfect just a bit too warm

I'm going to try something different this year. Record how many winter days I snow in the air. Today is a good example. While the guys further north record actual snowfall I just have flurries in the air most of the day. That rarely happened down in Boston. Today was number 4 although we only had one day of real accumulation.

31.7F Mostly cloudy Vis range 2-5 miles snow showers and virga. Occ very light dustings in heavier showers Very typical upslope leftovers for me. Sky brighter south horizon.

The upslope will catch most of the snow but still looking at the HRRR I should get an inch or two between flurries and the system tomorrow night. More importantly will be the temperatures tomorrow. I may stay below freezing all day and with the wind the windchill will be impressive for 11/2

18Z GFS ...another Gulf Hurricane out in fantasyland time. What do we do when we run out of the Greek alphabet?

As far as the media and the general population goes this one is really going under the radar so to speak. So many hurricane watches for NO this season and so much coverage of Gulf Storms. Like Covid, people kind of just let their guard down. Many people are just saying (as of last night) it's just a Cat 1. However... A strengthening storm always seems to over achieve. Katrina was weakening and slid east of NO. NO metro 1.2 million people! This storm is hauling ass unlike many earlier season tropical systems. It's not going to lose much punch The eyewall could go right over NO. Highest destructive wind is just in the eyewall. I think this storm will be by far the most destructive of this season. Not often do you see a strong Cat 2 going over a major metro area of this size. When was the last one?? Lots of population just east of NO too like Gulfport which will be on the strong east side What are some good webcams to watch?

Light mix started earlier this morning while I was at 35.3F We have had catpaws for a few hours now. Every once in awhile it goes over to snow. This is my second T of the season. Welcome J Culligan to the NNE forums. N NH finally getting some good posters. I'm so happy I moved up here from Boston Metro in 2001. No more coastal fronts to deal with just the Greens and Whites stealing most of the upslope snow

Rain/Snow mix started an hour ago. Now mostly light snow. Temp slowly dropping 34.5F

I'm 50 miles to your southwest and have had heavy drizzle with fine raindrops all morning. I assume it is the same at your property with echoes going that way

33.8F Light rain. Temp dipped to 32.7F around daybreak. I heard reports of a bit of freezing rain. Rain at 33 or 34F is about as miserable as it gets.

I disagreed with you guys eliminating the Covid thread earlier this year and still disagree that the moderators don't want any posts on a subject of science. I understood that the old post veered into politics which is more subjective. Perhaps after next week when the election will be over we could bring back discussion on this important topic that affects all of us and could become really bad over the next couple of months. I found the New England discussion of Covid was a great resource as we have many intelligent people on this forum. Just my 2 cents.

For a camera I have been using the Nest products for several years. You would have to research how they work with solar power and the type of internet service you will have. That might be the biggest issue with band with and interrupted power. Assuming that can be worked out the cam's work great for security as they can send you notifications of sound or motion. Lots of customization. Also with the Nest aware you can easily create time lapses of interesting weather events, for instance this time lapse of a summer storm. https://video.nest.com/clip/462c15255bfe4cd4804b2a96a5036360.mp4 I also have a VP2 weather station. To look at the quality of the Nest cam's and the VP2 info my weather link is www.bridgewaternhweather.com Congrats on your purchase.

Thank you Phin and Alex for your great webcams. Now I can see what is going on in the Northern Presidentials and beyond. I also bookmark the Waterville Valley and Loon Mountain Cam. The Loon Mtn cam just faces a ski slope so it's hard to tell what is going on around that site. Do any of you have cam site that faces into Franconia Notch? I wish Cannon had a high quality cam. They do have a cam at the top. The State of NH does have some good road cams but they cycle through the day instead of a higher quality video feed. You have to stop it at the last frame. Okay I'm totally rambling. Bottom line, looking for more Cam sites in N NH
