Manchester averages roughly 37 inches overall. The Highest ridges and areas which reach almost 1130 ft. are probably at 40-42 inches for an average with the lowest valleys at 800 ft. In the 34-35 range. My house is approximately 860-870 ft. so I always say 37 when asked.

That’s about right. In colder winters there isn’t much difference between my house and say Ebb Valley EM in the valley. But if we keep having winters where most of our snow even up here comes with temps right at 32-33 degrees then the difference will continue to be greater. 200-300 feet which often equates to 1 degree matters way more when it’s near freezing every storm. Back when it used to snow at like 20 degrees up here not so much. The upslope qpf difference is pretty marginal imo. It’s just ratios in marginal near freezing events.
