what about Maine made windows?  Mathews Brothers.  I don't live in Maine, and they weren't on my radar screen until after I installed new replacements.  I did look at Harvey and they were in my top 3, but didn't go with them.

Went with my brother in laws recommendations, He's been a contractor for 30 yrs and has done Harvey's, Who did you go with?

Probably most of you don't remember when Mt St Helens erupted.  I was living in Boston at the time.  The smoke cloud didn't last too long over New England but for a few hours it was very noticeable and people were talking about it.
My godmother lives outside of Bozeman and I recall her telling me they had a couple inches of ash all over

46 now. Drop has slowed, as usual.

Probably end up around 37-39 or thereabouts.

I doubt it’ll go all that low... should actually rise in strengthening SW flow later tonight.  Can already see all the ASOS slowing the drop and reporting high/mid-level clouds.

We might see our mins happen around midnight with a steady or slow tick up through the early AM.

Tomorrow might be a sneaky warm day up into the 70s even at elevation if the smoke doesn’t hamper things.

Edit: Yeah looks like it’s already even as far east as HIE, they rose a degree last hour.  That WAA is already kicking in.

The radiational cooling difference won't be as meaningful when socked in with clouds and snow falling. :) Precip will be king.

Ha, nice perspective.  The radiational cooling can probably help with snowpack retention a bit, but it seems to be CAD that is more important in that regard.

In any case, precipitation is what you want to maximize when it comes to snowfall.  It looks like the Randolph NH-CS-10 CoCoRaHS site near you has averaged 55.70” of total annual liquid over the past decade, suggesting their average is pretty similar to what we get here at our site, or even a bit more with the extra elevation.  One figures your site will be right in that range as well, so you’ll have plenty of precip to work with.  I’m not sure what Alex’s site gets for annual precipitation, but it’s probably similar?  I think there’s a direction in which that site gets some downsloping?  But, if that’s the case, it may be compensated by the gains from upslope.

Analysis paralysis steered me to Okna.  Harvey was a close second.  Mathews Brothers hit my radar screen after the fact.

Never even considered Matthew brothers, A lot of great window mfgs out there, Could have went with Pella or Anderson's but they have slipped in quality over the years and folks still go with them because of name recognition.

I don’t know what our annual precip is (I only track snowfall) but we do downslope from the southwest; not as pronounced as the Twin Mountain / Whitefield stretch but we definitely downslope. Although we also upslope better than that stretch. It’s just a bit of a snow hole :)
