I was just going to ask @PhineasC, how would you be able to spend the bulk of your winters in NH if you have school aged kids? Unless you plan to send them to school there. Of course with the virus, everything is remote, but eventually schools will fully open up again.

I was concerned about the CF even in the days leading up to the storm. A lot of models had that red flag, but I was told not to worry about it, and that I’d be far enough west/inland. I should’ve listened more to my own doubts.
-
That’s a lot of rain for the same places that were screwed in yesterday’s storm. Meanwhile those who were buried get a very nice refresher on that run. The rich keep getting richer.
-
That snow hole east of Springfield makes me feel a little better.
-
I’ll be in town, staying in a nice Victorian home.
-
It's a very lazy way of putting it together, especially since they don't account for the timing of the observations. They'll have 4pm reports and count them as final totals if there aren't newer numbers, and we all know that's absurd and inaccurate to the extreme.
-
As I mentioned in the storm thread, I'll be going up to Vermont and I have a place booked in Northfield, which is not far from Montpelier. I'm planning to stay for the rest of the month, and maybe into March. Hoping to see a lot of snow up there, and I especially look forward to the skiing. I followed quarantine and tested COVID negative, so in terms of pandemic guidelines I'm all set.
-
Where I came from, in the mid-Atlantic a lot of people would appreciate a 6” storm even if it was less than expected. I’m starting to get a little more spoiled now that I’m up here, but it’s the closeness to those 12”+ totals that really gets to me.
-
Please don’t tell me Attleboro also got a foot or more.

Speaking of NNE, I rented a place in one of those VT towns, so I'm heading up soon and I plan to stay for at least the rest of the month since I work remotely. I also just tested COVID negative yesterday after over a week of quarantine, so I'm good to go.
-
I think the CF ruined it here. It's had a tough time accumulating around 32-33, and had it been a few degrees colder we'd be talking double digits here.
-
That's an infuriating gradient. 8 miles between 4" and 13"+, just because of a few degrees difference. And here I thought the difference between me and Will was frustrating. Reminds me of some marginal mid-Atlantic storms that I've seen.
-
Yeah you usually report more snow than what I measure. My measurements were mostly from 5.5” to 6.5”, so assuming it’s over, I’m going with 6” as the total. Disappointing, but not a total debacle. At least the late evening was fun.
-
You sure about that? I measured 5.5” and it’s still pouring snow.
-
Power is back now, it was gone for maybe a half hour and meanwhile I took a little drive across the area. So much fun. The heavy band is just sitting over me and it keeps pounding. Total opposite of earlier this evening when the +SN went out of its way to avoid my area.
-
Finally getting fun up my way. I actually just lost power.
-
Radar looking better now, no local temps above freezing.
-
Snow growth seems slightly better now. Still not expecting much but maybe 6” is in play by the time it ends.
-
Sounds like you were spot on, and I shouldn't have doubted you. Out here the issue hasn't been temps as much as lousy snow growth and subsidence. The evening was supposed to be the big prize with hours of +SN, but it wasn't to be.
-
So all those killer returns on the radar are just 34 degree slop? I guess I'm not alone.
-
Exactly, and I don't see it changing. Maybe there's one more brief burst of snow but this has been a huge letdown. Very disappointing and unimpressive.
-
Yeah same here... the snow quality isn’t very impressive and ratios won’t be great.
-
I cleared the measuring spot. 2.8” Honestly I don’t even expect warning criteria, let alone double digit totals.
-
One word — subsidence
