It would be consistent with our "inch every other day" pattern. I still had a solid snowcover at sunset this evening, but the last 5 hours have completely wiped the slate clean. Hopefully Wednesday's event pans out.

Sounds like quite a wind event in favored downslope areas today. Phin already mentioned gusts to near 60 mph in his area, and a friend of mine reported "lots of downed trees" on his drive from Bethlehem to Lancaster NH this afternoon. Bretton Woods wasn't operating their gondola, which is very rare. Fortunately I went there to do some uphill.

Wild temperature ranges across the White Mountains right now. I made the trek over to Bretton Woods this afternoon around 1pm and it was 36 when I left Jackson, dipped to 34 as I entered Crawford Notch then shot up to 46 when I arrived at Bretton Woods. An hour later it was up to 53 at Bretton Woods, but still 34 in Bartlett and 36 in the village of Jackson. Climbing the hill back to my place, the temperature shot up to 46. I'm not sure how accurate this PWS is near Randolph Hill, but it logged a high temperature of 65 this afternoon with a peak wind gust of 65 mph: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNHRANDO11

Still holding at 33 with steady light rain here. Glazing is done and dripping has commenced. I love how the notches become mesoscale weather boundaries on these types of days. The southerly flow is a bit stronger today compared to last Thursday, when we never really mixed out...so it'll be interesting to see if/when we bust into the warmer air today.

Even though today is a bit of a bummer, I can't really complain about the frequency of snow events in this pattern. I have received 1"+ of snow every other day since last Thursday (1.0" Thursday, 1.5" Saturday, 1.0" today) and it looks like both the GFS and the Euro have arrived at a consensus on events both Wednesday and Friday of this week as well. No, we aren't exactly getting any synoptic bombs...but for those of us that depend almost entirely on synoptic scale events, it's not often we get a refresher every other day! We might be waiting a while for the first 6"+ but I'll take this for now.

1" of new snow and a pretty decent glazing out there right now. 32 degrees with freezing drizzle.

Ended up with 1.5” here. I was expecting a dusting, so this is a nice surprise! I’m headed to Sunday River tomorrow so I’m hoping they caught this as well.

Snow started here in Jackson around 5pm and we've picked up an inch of fluff so far. Still coming down at a decent clip. Expectations were very low, so I'm quite pleased!

Yesterday's CAD allowed us to survive with almost no snow loss, so yesterday morning's 1" snowfall remains on the ground. The wind is something fierce this morning. Rooftop anemometers in a location as heavily wooded as mine are never accurate, but this morning's peak gust of 43 mph is actually higher than what I measured during the severe March wind storm which left me in the dark for two days. Since my anemometer isn't at the standard height, and I am surrounded by woods...I would estimate the wind gusts are substantially higher than what has actually been measured. Currently 28F with a combination of sun and constant flurries.

Yeah, when I moved to this location I thought my elevation might help a little bit...but upslope is essentially absent here. Being in the immediate shadow of a range of 5000-6000' peaks with a southwest-northeast orientation pretty much squelches any opportunity. Last weekend was a tough pill to swallow as we were too warm for the synoptic portion of the event, then when temps finally tanked the event transitioned to purely upslope. We didn't even get a dusting last weekend. Looks like Saturday is our next shot for at least a coating of snow, then the middle of next week probably holds the best potential in the near future. It's been tough to put too much stock in the models outside of 3-4 days so far this season, but the event next Wednesday has been pretty consistently flagged as a legitimate storm threat for at least a few days now.

First inch of snow this season at 1500' in Jackson! That's three days earlier than our first inch last year (12/5). Interestingly enough, my friend in North Conway is also reporting 1" of new snow this morning...which is 15 days earlier than the first inch in the valley last year! The Mount Washington Valley was really hosed last season with the first inch occurring on 12/17. Looks like several more opportunities in the week ahead. Fingers crossed!

Looks like some heavy squalls have been rolling through the White Mountains this afternoon. The remote site at Hermit Lake (3900') on Mount Washington is now reporting a snow depth of 8" which is an increase of 3" since just noon today.

I'm visiting the gf down in Boston, but my landlord texted me some pics from the cabin in Jackson this morning. Looks like about a quarter inch on the grass up there. Enough to go down as the first accumulation of the season there. Happy to see all of the AMC huts are reporting snow depth once again this season! Looks like 5" OTG at Hermit Lake and 6" OTG at Zealand Falls, both of which should get a couple/few inches out of tonight's upslope event. Perhaps the start of the White Mountain snowpack at elevations above 3k?

Awesome pics from the other side of the Notches today! We had a snow shower here in Jackson around 4pm but it was brief without any accumulation. We'll get it soon enough.

Good morning everyone! I hope y'all had a great summer/fall. I'm happy to report we are experiencing our first observed snowflakes of the 2021-2022 season here at 1500' in Jackson NH right now. I woke up to a steady rainfall and a temp of 39F but the flakes started mixing in once the temp dipped to 37F. Probably 85% rain 15% snow at the moment lol.

Pretty solid event in the high country last night. 3" at Hermit Lake, 5" at the Gray Knob manual snow plot, and 11" on the summit of MWN.

Impressive daytime temps today. We were up to 28F before the squalls started, and now it has slipped back down to 25F with a pretty good burst of snow currently. Mid 20s at midday on April 22nd is noteworthy.

Looks like heavy squalls are rolling through the western Whites right now based on the Lost River and Echo Lake road cams. For those unfamiliar, this is a pretty cool site: https://vortex.plymouth.edu/webcam/rwis/ Partly sunny and 26F right now on the east side, but I'm thinking we could have some snow and/or graupel showers when we maximize our instability around midday. Doubtful we see much accumulation due to the high sun angle, but there could be some pretty heavy bursts. Spring on hold for now.

No wintry precip here, but we sure did get a solid hit of rain. 1.25" in the bucket with a current temp of 37F.

First thunder and lightning of the year here. 46F and 0.64" of rain so far today. Looks like it has flipped to snow on the other side of Crawford Notch.

Final tally for this event was 6.4" here in Jackson.

5.6" here as of 3pm. Snowing big flakes at 33F.

We managed 6" during the December 5th event, which completely hosed the valley. But yes, there was 14-20" above 2000' so that was a tough pill to swallow. Today's event will likely be the largest event since then, so the two biggest events of the season (at elevation) will both fall outside of astronomical winter lol.

Absolutely. My entire March total was a paltry 1.1 inches. The last 10 weeks have been about as lean as it gets around here.

Up to 2.8" as of 8:30. Snowiest day since 2/22 for now. When we exceed 3" it'll be the snowiest day since February 2nd.
