After peaking at 31 this afternoon, we are back down to 28. Interesting that my area was not included in the winter wx advisory.

Not even an upslope event and the Vermonters still win

I'm really interested in comparing my location to other CAD-prone spots in the state this year. I spent five years at PSU, so I know how the cold air loves to get tucked into the Pemi Valley during these in-situ events. I'm sure each CAD-prone location has a very specific setup in terms of the wind direction, location of high pressure, etc. and some events will favor your area while others favor mine. That said...we are holding at 29F right now. Solid winter day out there.

Up to 32F at 4k feet on the Auto Road. We've crept up to 29F here. Precip has finally ended, and I would imagine anything beyond this point is likely to be freezing rather than frozen.

26F with steady light snow continuing. Accumulation up to 0.7" on the day. It's absolutely beautiful out.

New echoes have blossomed and it's actually snowing at a pretty decent clip again. Up to 0.5" which is my most significant accumulation to date. Maybe we'll end up close to our first inch today after all.

I will likely be the king of CAD in this location lol. It'll be interesting to see if we're still below freezing when the steadier precip resumes later tonight. Could be a very slick Thanksgiving morning up here.

0.3" here brings us up to 1.2" on the season. Getting "snizzle" now which will likely continue for a good majority of the day. Sitting at 22F.

Yup, the 10/17 anafront event missed us to the west and the 10/30 event missed us to the south. It just comes down to bad luck. But my area averages 100"+ so I know it's coming.

They've been pretty consistent with the Monday/Tuesday deal - I think that's going to be an ugly, ugly event for us. But I'm a little more optimistic about the event to follow on 12/3-4. The Euro still shows rain with that one for now, but I think there's a better chance of that shifting to a more agreeable solution. We'll see. I know the Vermonters here are at or above normal in the snowfall department this month, but I can't imagine that's the case here. To be eeking my way toward a 1" seasonal total on November 25th at 1500' has to be below normal here. Relative to normal, I think the Route 16 corridor from Jackson down toward Ossipee has had it the worst so far. We don't get the upslope, and we missed the two synoptic events that delivered snow to other parts of the state on 10/17 and 10/30.

Scared of the 7"+ rainfall jackpot over my location on next week's cutter, per the 00z Euro. Holy Moses.

19F with light snow this morning. Looks like we may be in this for a little while longer, but the models have the best lift shifting north by mid-morning so this is probably another 1/4" deal here. Still, we will finally break 1" on the season lol. I'm intrigued to see what happens with round two later tonight into tomorrow morning. The mid-levels warm significantly, but this is some pretty solid cold air entrenched in my CAD-prone location. I think we could be in for a pretty decent glazing in these parts. We'll be lucky to sniff 30 today.

Surprised to wake up to a dusting of snow this morning with mood flakes in the air. While we don't get the "real" upslope snows in my location, the surprise dustings are nice to wake up to for someone used to the eastern Massachusetts climate. Last night's wind launched one of my heavy cedar chairs about 20 feet off the front porch, which was perhaps the bigger surprise to wake up to. It got pretty rough up here around 7-8pm last night! 27F and calm with flakes flying right now.

Very gusty night here. My anemometer is in a very sheltered spot and almost never gets decent gusts, but it managed to register a gust to 42 mph around 7pm this evening. No snow here on the downslope side of the ridge, but winter is roaring back in this evening.

After another quarter inch of snow/sleet yesterday evening, we eventually went to rain during the overnight. It was 33F and raining when I woke up at 5:30am, but there were icicles hanging off my roof so it was obviously freezing rain for a time. But that additional 0.3" of snow almost brings me up to a full inch on the season.... Currently 36F and raining quite steadily with 0.70" in the bucket so far.

And the October 17th anafront event. That has actually been the largest event in New Hampshire so far. I wasn't active on the board then, but I hiked Mount Moosilauke that day and I'd estimate a foot of snow with some hip deep drifts on the summit cone. It snowed all the way down to road levels on the other side of Crawford Notch that day. We had about 2.3" of rain in my location instead.

It's another fun night to watch the local thermometers. I found a 33-degree reading on Town Hall Road (735') meanwhile it's 50F at my place and 54F at 1680 feet. There's a thermometer less than a mile away and 200' lower which is 38F compared to my 50F. Super shallow inversion!

Classic CAD day here on the eastern slope. Started the day at 10F and we've crept our way up to 26F as of 1pm. Looks like the SNOTEL site at Hermit Lake (3900') is up to 35F, so a pretty solid inversion. I'm envisioning many days like this.

22 degrees at 12:15pm. Hard to believe we were pushing 80 a little over a week ago. Solid negative departure on the day today, that's for sure.

I logged our total as 0.3" overnight, but at least there was a somewhat whitened landscape to wake up to this morning. This brings my total up to 0.6" on the season lol. The synoptic storms will come. Last night's Euro is trying to throw us a bone the night before Thanksgiving. La Nina winters tend to be active up here, so I think my patience will ultimately pay off, especially (as others have mentioned) I'll have a little bit of immunity to cutters in this CAD-prone area. Once the snow is here, it's going to take a lot for it to go away.

Actually managed to get into a little streamer of sorts, and we've had some pretty decent snow here for the last 45 minutes or so. I'll take an official measurement at midnight, but this is the most solid dusting we've had so far this season lol.

After a round of morning show showers left another immeasurable dusting, we ended up having a mix of sun and clouds most of the day. Still waiting for our first inch at 1500' in the eastern Whites.

Just the very slightest of dustings here - not enough to measure yet, but it's a snow globe outside at the moment. If this continues to another hour or so I might be able to log a couple tenths ha. I'll take it this month!

Couple of decent opportunities for snow on the not-too-distant horizon. As a backcountry skier, I'm happy with snow even when it's confined to the higher terrain...and I'm watching Sunday night as it does have the "sneaky" potential to be predominantly snow in the alpine. Not a major event, but just a few inches of snow followed by next week's cold weather could mean we are finally laying down the foundation of the seasonal snowpack up at 4k feet. At lower elevations (including my place) I think there could be a couple/few hours of snow at the outset, but this will definitely favor the CAD-prone regions on the eastern slope versus those of you in VT and western NH. Next we watch a potential WINDEX event with Tuesday's arctic front, followed by limited upslope potential for the Vermonters in its wake...but I'm becoming very interested in the Thursday night/Friday timeframe next week for a true regionwide light to moderate event followed by a re-loading of the cold air next weekend. I think we've turned the corner, folks...at least for now.

Euro putting down 1-2" of snow in the White Mountains with the weak wave progged to move through tomorrow afternoon. Boundary layer looks questionable, so I'm anticipating little accumulation below 2500' but always hoping for a surprise ha. The higher peaks should have a more wintry look to them this weekend anyway.
