  1. Bought the land 10 years ago when economy was in the shitter and land was real cheap. But even today, you can probably find a similar lot for about $25k. The kit 10 yrs ago cost $57, and about another $40k to finish. Did all the work with help from friends and family. I mean, we did everything from clearing, grubbing, digging, pouring the footings, designing and installing the septic, electric and plumbing. The only parts I hired someone for (other than family, some which I paid) was the foundation, waterline and shingles. Hurricane Irene was coming and I ran out of time. No inspections (other than septic and wood stove) so we started staying in it as soon as it was weathertight. I think it was that Hurricane Irene weekend. Log cabin kits are pretty easy. I never would have done it myself but my dad said it's like Lincoln Logs, just bigger, and he was right. Taxes are high in NH, but it's 90 minutes form Lowell.
  2. Only about 1/2" here at 1100', nothing in the valley and 3" at 1800'
  3. 33.4/29, but this is not accumulating. Just a 1/4" of slush. :/
  4. Just flipped (albeit slowly) to snow. 35.6/32
  5. white rain, 36.1/32 (1100'), 34.7 (1600')
  6. Column is slowly cooling. The initial mix of frozen probably had more to do with evaporational cooling, Since then I've dropped about a degree and it's back to some mainly rain/mixed precip, but the radar returns are diminishing for now. I think it will flip to more of a snow mix as soon as the heavier echoes return. 36.9/33 at 1100', 35.6 at 1600'. Earlier it was a degree warmer at 1600' than me.
  7. snowing at the base of Waterville Valley ~1800'
  8. Temp dropped to 37.5/33, some wet flakes mixing in.
  9. temp rising 43.2/34. Expecting rain through mid afternoon, then what? I'm feeling this is going to be a 2k elevation snow
  10. I got a PTZ cam mounted, but need software advice to put it public. Any recommendations from anyone?
  11. There are a few natural patches in the woods up here (and a solid foot up at Waterville on the hiking trails). But it's looking like we're through mud season and onto spring. Maybe I can squeeze out a couple inches of mashed tomorrow.
  12. I'm borderline in Thornton. Do you think models underestimate dynamic cooling? I think that's my only hope.
  13. Been spitting a mix of drizzle, snow and sleet past couple hours, but I get shadowed by the Sandwich mountain range. 35.4/30
  14. small flurries. I'm guessing it's some low level stuff? 32.8/29
  15. temp holding at 33.6. The sleet is accumulating, but no snow as of yet.
  16. Whereabouts are you these days? I hope you have NH plates. :/ I hear they've been giving out of staters the one finger wave.
  17. Sleet past 15 minutes. There's a warm layer. :/
  18. Snowing at Waterville, or at least it had been. 35.7/31 here at 1100', 34.5 at 1600'
  19. 37.8/33. I can see the cloud deck, so I assume it's falling as rain, but it's likely snowing down to about 2000' on MWN based on their temperature profile. Unfortunately the base lodge cam at Wildcat is down.
  20. Dang, so close, but at least entertaining.
  21. Without the groomers it was bulletproof over the weekend. Thank God I had just tuned my skis. But today was great!
