    Rather robust icicle formation on the house today. Some of those suckers are already over 40 inches long. Not a great testament to 1980's insulation practices.

    Just took a bunch of measurements here in Bradford and averaged 11.2" on the ground. Also popped my New England driver cherry and put my truck in a ditch about 400 yards from my house. Only took 15 winters up here to finally manage that. Props to the gentleman in the Bronco that pulled me out. Also props to the little 4 inch pine that stopped my truck from going further into the ditch without damaging anything - just a little smooch!

    3.12" total here in Bradford. See normal flow (taken 8 days ago) vs. flow this afternoon of the west branch Warner River in the backyard. Hardly any wind here in this little valley.

    Ending with a few mood flakes as that last band pushes through. Here's a before and after shot of the Warner river in the backyard. First one taken yesterday afternoon and the second this morning. Roaring pretty good from the house.

    1.66" of rain here. Still a little snow on the ground. Wind has picked up a little and a few flakes are starting to mix in.

    Surprised to still be holding on to snow cover in the yard - especially since it slopes to the south (albeit very gently). Sitting at 36.5 degrees here in Bradford.

    Nothing they can't handle, but the white pine, hemlock, (and a couple of spruce!) are getting their first snow-laden workout of the season. A good warm-up.

    Have about 5.5" (compacted) here in Bradford. Wet stuff.

    1.33" in the Stratus (thanks for the recommendation!). Nothing too crazy here in Bradford, just a consistent, steady rain.

    Probably off topic, but is there a recommended rain gauge type/model/manufacturer people use? I've got mine as about out in the open as I can, but I'm now a little suspicious of that 6.05" I had reported here, given that the highest official reporting I can find for my area is around 4.5". I am on the very west end of Bradford and right at the base of the east slope of Mount Sunapee, but I'm not sure that would be enough to bump me up that much?

    Up to 6.05". Road into center of town was getting closed off as I was heading back home. DOT guy (or whatever authority, not sure) had just set out cones but was like, yeah, you can try it, good luck! About a foot of water on the road from the river coming over. Made it through with a 3/4 ton pickup, don't recommend anyone do that though.

    Finally have a lull here. 5.45" since starting around 4pm yesterday. West Branch Warner River has spilled over on to Fairgrounds Road here in Bradford.

    1.0" additional in Bradford, NH since I checked this morning. Passed 5.0" total for this event. Radar returns just to my west have looked quite a bit more robust than over my head. Looks like half of Vermont is going to end up washed into the Long Island Sound.

    Off to the races again here in Bradford after a bit of a lull overnight. 0.4" new and just passed 4.0" for this event. Radar is looking healthy too.

    4" triplet riding on a 6" triplet in my profile picture! I do image, though not through either of those scopes.

    Been stuck for several years in the Mojave desert for work before coming back to New England. If it took that to wash out some of the roads around here so they'd be forced to replace/repave, I'd take it.

    3.6" in the rain gauge in Bradford, NH since about 4pm. West Branch Warner River in the backyard is absolutely roaring.
