powderfreak Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 What's even crazier, is we've got almost flurries falling at the base. They are small ice crystals but at times get large enough to even call flurries. It is such a dreary day down low, then you go up top and its crazy like March spring skiing. 24F at 1,500ft and 37F at the top of the Gondola. There's your inversion.

Dry adabatic warming would put the valleys in the 60s today without that inversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Beautiful day here, cloudless except looking west I see the dark stratus line. So many times I am just too far SE to get the good snowshowers VT gets and today the West NH ridges are keeping me sunny and comfortable while VT goes days and days in the muck!

Allenson Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Well, the power seems to be finally back on for good. Quite the rollercoaster over here since last Tuesday--more off than on but occasionally it would come back and get our hopes up only to back off right around the time it would get dark outside. We ended up with about 7" here (despite the 5" the show on their map from my reports--they decided to close out the storm even though it snowed for another day or so....). We have 11" otg at the hood and I'll bet there's 2-3" of water therein. Heavy base material. Under the undercast here in the OC hills: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whineminster Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Up in Ellsworth NH this weekend had about 8-10" of crusty stuff, good base building for the snow machine trails, the pack really only starts to appear north of CON, cool to watch the transition.

I had a friend just get theirs back yesterday. Funny how there have been two snowstorms so far this year and both have been significant power impacts from ME/NH in the first one, and VT in the second one. You sound like you have the same snow as here, 10-12" on the ground and like 3" of liquid in there, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 One last one of the Mansfield ridgeline today. Could've been in a t-shirt drinking a beer up here this afternoon with temps in the mid-40s and full sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a sweet view. Like the wind towers. You up there to snowmobile or ski? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whineminster Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 That's a sweet view. Like the wind towers. You up there to snowmobile or ski? Mostly just up there this weekend to go on small hike and drink beers, skiing will be later in the season. Sold the snowmobiles last year---no time! We have a family place up there consisting of just a big shed with a wood stove. The pic is from Rattlesnake Mountain in Rumney, right near Rumney Rocks for those of you who rock-climb. I like that inversion pic you took, that's crazy it looks like something you'd see in the Alps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Thanks for the info. I am at 100% snowcover but didn't know where the snow/bareground was. The glaciated snow just doesn't melt with the low sun angle. Definitely time for a refresher but at least it looks like winter north of Concord NH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
