0.5" so far for us, and currently not raining. Hoping we don't flood but just bought an extra pump at Lowes just in case. 48F. I miss winter.

Agree. Still at 28 here but I think precip is far enough that it will be rain when it gets here

Temp going up - from 25.6 earlier tonight to 26.8 currently. Let the games begin (not fun ones when you're at risk of flooding!)

Ahhhhhhh. I hate this. We have a check-in today for someone who paid over $25,000 to rent a luxury home for 10 days. It sucks so bad for them! But even more the anxiety over flooding is killing me. About 1/3 of the SREF river models for the Ammonoosuc show us flooding quite badly. I have 20 people in a house that's right along the river. Im quite confident that in this pattern we will get 0 CAD in my location. It's going to torch and it's going to rain. I'm REALLY hoping for some SEVERE downsloping that keeps us high and dry lol. But that's just wishful thinking. I have no idea if that's even an option with this storm.

No fortunately I don't think ice dams are too much of an issue. I've heard it's happened but it's rare until you get down into Littleton and especially a bit south of there. It's pretty shallow up here, as we are only a few miles from its source at Lakes of the Clouds, which I think reduces the potential for significant jamming

Yes, snow is deep and water content is high. Doubly concerned for Friday given our propensity to flood. Where you now see so much snow you may see trees float by come Monday! Grrrrr. A bit anxious about it. Modeling for the Ammo river doesn't seem to indicate flooding but it seems to my inexperienced eye that they are underestimaing the snowmelt (see attachment). I can't imagine the pack can survive 24 hours of heavy rain at 40+ degrees. The graph below seems to indicate only a 20% or so loss

Another 1.5" overnight bringing the total to 7.5". Sun is out, 2.3F

I'll cross my fingers that the downsloping shown there verifies for me

About 6" here but the stuff that's falling now is like the fake plastic snow you put on Xmas trees. It has zero weight to it

Haha yep. Very happy with the choice! Wouldn't mind turning Vermont into a lake (nothing personal, I love Vermont), but this will do for the time being

Today just won't let up.

A lot of people are surprised. Had a meeting with a wedding planner this morning who came up from Portland and was shocked - she wanted to see the yard, firepit etc lol. I like having a deep pack, for sure, although I'm more into watching it fall than the pack itself. Of course, the combination of the 2 is the holy grail. Hopefully we rebuild fast after this cutter, we've had a deep snowpack for quite a while

In the meantime, really surprised by how well it's snowing today. Feels like mid winter for sure. It's going to make it that much more painful when Friday comes!

Where do you get these?

Interesting. No idea how much water is in my pack, but I've seen it happen before. That said, I just had a showing for a wedding and we walked around the yard and it's incredibly sturdy. You can stand on top of a foot of snow with zero give, other than the 3" of fluffy stuff on top

3.25" overnight, not bad! Still snowing. Stake up to 14".

Same here. Hard to tell the amount, it's quite windy

I'm sure, considering the weather here!

Lol

Snow has gotten pretty heavy, almost squally

I own a company that does vacation rentals in Bretton Woods - www.brettonwoodsrentals.com. You can do a tour of the observatory, just make sure you book in advance. The Cog is fun but you only get about an hour at the top (3 hour round trip); driving gives you a bit more time to explore. Of course, you could do both. PM if you need a place to stay - we have lots of options!

Decent snow now. About 1/4"

Not much going on here. Just some occasional light snow, about 1/10"

LOL! Thanks.

LOL!!! Like PF, I don't want to be annoying. Some want to know what's doing up here because they have an interest, whether be skiing or sledding or just to live vicariously through others. Some just get annoyed. The NNE thread seems like a better place! I'm the type that roots for snow for everyone. I was in Tahoe and got back this morning, and I hate to see no snowcover so far North into NH on the drive up. Being obsessed with weather is a heartbreaking condition - and I certainly have it. It was a big part of my desire to move up here and a key reason for choosing this specific location vs somewhere like North Conway (business reasons aside). Even if we torch with cutters, just like we WILL torch this coming week, this area just gets so many more opportunities for snow even in crappy patterns that it never feels so bad. There always seems to be something around the corner. So I don't really like rubbing it in when it's snowing up here and everyone else has to deal with this hideous pattern.
