#NoPoles Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I'm fine with this docile start to December. My septic tank partially collapsed mid September and I've had a hell of a time finding someone to come replace it. The septic guy had come to pump and was digging up the cover when it collapsed. Poor guy almost went swimming but he managed to jump to stable ground as it gave way. Finally think I've found someone- tentatively this Friday! It will be a relief to finally get this taken care of. (Old steel 750 gal tank- house was built in 65 so I can imagine it's the original tank. The plumbing has been updated in the house, except for the cast iron pipe that runs from the house to the tank. That will be replaced as well. It keeps getting blocked- yay for NH and no septic regulation- Live Free or Die) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmcginvt Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 How highly anomalous is this. I have lived in Lamoillle County or Washington County since 87. I dont recall us being this bare in a long time. But i also feel like it has happened before. Anyone got records to share? Worst december ever records?

dmcginvt Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Doh euro goes gfs route too far south.

powderfreak Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Dec 2001, 2006, 2015 all come to mind immediately… there are likely a couple others in the last 20 years with well timed torches that went to bare ground around this date.

#NoPoles Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Finally, after almost 3 months, my septic tank was replaced today!!! I am so relieved and happy. 3 months of living with a partially collapsed tank and an open hole in the ground, has come to an end. They also found the original cast-iron pipe from the house to the tank had a plastic connector piece that disintegrated and was tangled in a tree root. I had 2 blockages in the past year so now I know why. My 2 propane tanks also sat right over where the bad connector was and a sink hole was starting to develope. I had the tanks moved end of October because they were in the way of where the excavator needed to dig. I can only imagine more of the ground collapsing and my propane tanks falling into the open septic pit... I lucked out big time! Very grateful the winter has started off slow! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the local valleys around here, this shouldn’t be considered that anomalous. Here’s the snow depth at our site in Waterbury on 12/10 for the past several seasons: 2007: 10.0” 2008: Trace 2009: 8.0” 2010: 7.0” 2011: 1.0” 2012: 0.5” 2013: 2.0” 2014: 7.0” 2015: 0.0” 2016: 3.0” 2017: 1.5” 2018: 9.0” 2019: 2.0” 2020: 3.5” 2021: 3.0” So out of those 15 seasons, there’s one with no snow, one with a trace, and one with less than inch at our stake. The mean snow depth here at our site for 12/10 is 4.1 ± 3.4”, so having 0.0” at the stake is 1.21 S.D. below the mean; thus the data indicate it should occur in 11.2% of seasons. That’s basically once every 9 or 10 seasons that we should see bare ground on 12/10, and there are roughly one to two of them in our 15-year set of data (the trace value can sort of go either way – there may not have been snow at the exact location of my stake, but a trace means there is at least snow on our property somewhere). So, it certainly happens. It began snowing here around 12:30 P.M. today though, and with temperatures well below freezing it started to accumulate immediately. If the temperatures stay cold as the forecast suggests, there would probably be at least a trace at the stake for tomorrow morning’s reading. This early part of the season can really be inconsistent for snow cover in the valleys, even in a fairly reliable snow spot like ours. We did just have our 7th white Thanksgiving in a row this year though, so that’s an example of the early season snowpack variability in the other direction. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borderwx Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 As a cruel end to a curious hunting season, it began to snow at 3 up here. The woods were brittle today, but offered some more December like feelsThe ice was remarkable solid considering how soggy things were on Wednesday Time to ski!. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jculligan Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Good evening NNE crew! Maybe some have noticed the lack of posts from me so far this season, and assumed it was due to the slow start to winter. While partially true...the real reason is that I have relocated to southern NH with my (now) fiance. Leaving the mountains was obviously a VERY difficult decision, especially since I just arrived in 2020, but this was an extremely positive life change and let's face it...there is more to live than skiing and (gulp) weather. Make no mistake, we will be visiting the mountains with extreme frequency this winter but our place of residence is Salem NH now. At least I'm still in the Granite State! I have a feeling our future will ultimately point north again at some point. I'm traveling for work this evening but on the flip side there was probably more snow tonight in Salem than there was in Jackson Cheers to an historic rally in the next few weeks... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Actually getting more than expected here, closing in on an inch. Had dinner at Thorn Hill in Jackson and there wasn’t anything when we got there, but was all covered by the time we left. Not nice to drive in through the Notch in, but nice to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcglups Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 A solid dusting overnight with morning temperatures below 10 for the 4th day in a row. Ice forming on the banks of the Androscoggin river and most tributaries are locking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMontpelierWhiteout Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 1 1/4 here. Nice to see it looking wintery again. Hoping that Friday event delivers. Dynamics look good but temps may be a problem for part of the event. Anyway, NWS Burlington getting excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will think of you often during those storms where you’re getting slammed and I’m smoking exhaust. I’m in Boscawen just north west of Concord. By the way. Good thing about New Hampshire is no matter where you are. The snow in the mountains are never too far away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 1" here and 21°. Nice wintry feel out there. Anything that comes Friday that leaves us with a net gain in snow on the ground is a win in my book. I don't need huge amounts to be happy.

tamarack Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Yesterday's 21/4 was the first true winter cold this season - my threshold is 50 HDDs. Still flake-free since the flurry/squall on Dec. 1, but my old NNJ hometown reported 2.5" this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most models/members of ensembles show 6+. Still a few days out but it’s looking good; even better is the fact that the storm seems to mark the beginning of a snowy period, with lots of upslope chances in addition to storms. Fingers crossed… I’m ready for the glades 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Morning alpenglow today was awesome as the 2" of snow for the mountain reflected the direct early sunlight. The mountain literally glows for a few minutes each morning at sunrise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Wild snow drought for these parts where it can fart 1-3” at least excuse possible, especially early season. Went 3 weeks without a snowfall over 1”. Photo of 1500ft plot at the south end RT 108 winter closure gate this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
