    The larger (~6" dia) took out the neighbors mailbox.

    3.6" in Lowell 32,2F. Couple white pine branches down.

    Knew it was only a matter of time. Huge pine branch just dropped in neighbors yard. The lower branches on the large white pine in my front yard are nearly touching the ground. Usually they're about 10-12' off the ground.

    This moderate snow of big fatties is piling up. 2.75" at 1 AM. 32.0F
  5. MarkO
    Nice pasting on everything. Heaviest snow so far. Temp holding at 32.2F
  6. MarkO
    Flipped back to sleet here as well. Let's see what's under these incoming heavier returns.

    1...0, bingo. just flipped here in Lowell. Don't get me wrong, it's still a very wet snow.
  8. MarkO
    Same here.
  9. MarkO
    Going back and forth between sleet and snow. Gradually cooling. 34.2/31.0

    Just took another look and it's sleet and and a few mangled flakes. 36.1/30.1. Going to need some better lift/intensity.

    Not happening in Lowell. Drizzle, 37.6/29.4 Edit, went outside to check, sleet here as well.

    LOL, my wife's family is on the other side of the Mt. Hope bridge (Portsmouth). There are many a times (this just another typical example), where I tell them "snow at the cabin, maybe a few inches here in Lowell, but rain in Rain Island". I'm heading north, they'e heading south. My daughter hates snow. Maybe part of the reason she's at URI. They do very well with Benchmark storms. Lots of wind too.

    Eyeballing about 2.5" in Lowell

    55.0 Lowell, 32.6 Thornton. Despite the rain after midnight, still looking very wintry,
  15. MarkO
    Looks like it flipped to sleet in Thornton.
  16. MarkO
    still snowing at cabin
  17. MarkO
    About an inch in Lowell, but flipped to rain. Looks like a couple inches already up north. I'm feeling like this one could be an overproducer (NWS forecasting 4-6"). Regardless, it should be a net gainer. Start rebuilding the pack!

    Been hovering at 32.4F pretty much all day. Looks like an inch or so on non-paved surfaces, but it did accumulate on the asphalt too, but less than an inch. Just enough for me to get out there and shovel it off. Looks like more at the cabin. I'm eyeballing about 2 inches, maybe a little more. Temp up there hovered around 31 throughout the day.

    I think it may have been. There was a delay of at least a few seconds. About 200k without power in MA. Still pretty gusty, so don't expect power for at least a few hours.
  20. MarkO
    Quick burst of precip and wind as the front passed through. One flash of lightning, big gust and sound of a transformer blowing. No power in Lowell.

    I'm wondering how conditions will be moving forward? It looks like the larger mountains got between 2 and 5 inches before the flip, ending up with more or less a neutral event, but I'm wondering (maybe Scott can answer best), if this rain can somehow drain, the groomers maybe sit on it (most ski areas closed today) and maybe an inch refresher, will it be bullet proof, or end up with more of just a firm base, but hold an edge kind of conditions?
  22. MarkO
    if/when they iron out the kinks with that lift, you'll rarely see that lift being more than a 2 minute wait. Doing some quick math, 10k'/hr may be doable, not that you'd ever see me doing that. It does look like the mountains may end up with a net zero after Friday's event. Euro suggests it may even be a gainer. Just not sure how much damage 2" of a 40F rain will do.

    Saturday was excellent at Waterville. 2+ feet of moderately dense snow. Loon was fantastic today. Take advantage of the great conditions because come Satuday expect surfaces to become bullet proof.
  24. MarkO
    Just got up north. I93 was pretty bad between exits 22 and 25. About 3" OTG, maybe a little more.
  25. MarkO
    Usually I'm in a bit of a snow hole, but this is one of the highest NWS snow forecast maps I've seen for my area in Thornton. Pretty close to the 18-24". Could be an epic powder day. Not too much wind.
