I only get up that way once or twice a year, usually on my way to Maine. When my son was little we would take him to Santa's Village and Six Gun City. It's a beautiful area.

Probably more like 1400' at the bottom of the property. I haven't been there with my GPS yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been there with my GPS yet. Yeah it looks like the house is around 1500 feet if I’m looking correctly. The top of the property prob closer to like 1580 and the bottom closer to 1400. Really sweet location. You aren’t going to be worrying about many snow hole issues there. You’ll prob be amazed at the differences just driving west into Jefferson and north into Berlin.

Should be way more consistent than Oakland, MD. They can have really terrible winters or great winters, impossible to predict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year has been very uneven across NNE. Not great for pack building and not cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we know horrific that year was in NNE. Beyond awful. Prob like a once in 30-50 year winter Even 2011-2012 had almost 120” there. Plenty of winters near and easily exceeding 200” in only an 11 year record. Not very easy to find that at liveable elevations in New England.

CoastalWx Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I haven’t checked this out in awhile, but congrats Phin! That’s a great spot like many said. They always seem to do well in all directions. I’ve been camping up that way and know the area. Great slot. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 23 hours ago, ORH_wxman said: Congrats Phin. Excellent spot....within 20 minutes to Wildcat, half an hour to Bretton Woods, and 45 min to either Sunday River, Cannon, or Attitash....or Cranmore. You are now likely the snowiest location for a home on this forum. Prob prob a 175ish average. I think Jspin is in the 160 range. Mitch might be close...maybe 150ish? How does Alex fit in there? Looks like Randolph is a town to his NE? I had it wrong, I was confusing Randolph at first with Jackson. I thought he was SE of the mtns, not north of them.... that's a great spot. Must get some good NW flow snow in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We settle end of May so I will be in place for next winter. Looking forward to it. Congrats, love the views from that area and the drive to Wildcat, Sunday River, or Mt. Washington is not bad at all.

klw Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Randolph once received 56 inches from a single storm. Nov. 22-23, 1943 https://dicce.sri.com/downloads/Additional_articles_webeites_interest/03_New_Hampshire_Climate_Overview.pdf Congrats, I hope the pool is heated.

dendrite Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Yeah that Randolph cocorahs observer blows all of the other observers in the state away on there with total snowfall and depth. He/she is the 11" new on here. They leave some detailed comments as well if you want to go back and peek at certain days for various events over the years. https://www.cocorahs.org/ViewData/ViewDailyPrecipReport.aspx?DailyPrecipReportID=1e03cdc7-967d-4c6d-8d4e-dbcc41abb81a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Alex would be pretty close in snow but maybe a little less? He’s far enough west that he could get some shadow there. I forget what elevation Alex is at.

There's pretty much unmitigated flow from the NE to Randolph all the way back from the lakes by Rangeley and the terrain all rises up around Randolph like a half bowl. They must get some really good upslope enhancement in nor'easters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess theoretically due South or southeast but they are so close to Mt Adams/MWN that the downslope probably doesn’t really hit until up in Berlin. And of course, total CAD heaven there...about as good as it gets for retention. Total weenie spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
