35” reported 2 miles WNW of Peterborough (Near mount monadanock) 

33” Greenville (next to crotched mountain ) Crotched must have 40” at the top 

Tried to hike miller state park but parking lot had 30” un plowed 

Probably Greenfield - Greenville's over near New Ipswich. Tomorrow will be a good day for snowshoes.

Still lightly snowing. Road hasn't been plowed in ages, probably because of the trees hanging into it. We probably have at least 25-26" of new snow.

2” here

That was issued at 4am. Curious to see what there afternoon update is. I have low expectations here in Hampton NH but at least the waves and wind should rip.

Working, reading wx board, etc. spaced the time on the map. Deleted the original post. Welp.

Good times 

Trying to decide where to go this afternoon 

monads don’t have many options , many are in shadow closer to Keene 

There's probably going to be a lot of power outages here, if that's a concern. Otherwise, there's the Crotched Mountain Resort in Bennington, Blue Bear Inn in Francestown, Greenfield Inn in Greenfield, the Monadnock Inn in the old center of Jaffrey and the Hancock Inn in Hancock. I haven't stayed in any of those places, so ymmv. Dublin is probably the highest point in that area but I'm not sure if there's anything there.

I doubt they get 34.   But 24 seems possible.  
Timing isn’t great

That's relatively good news. Thanks!

Please tell me that there's no chance at all that the 34.7 at KAFN comes true. I know most of you are all "no snow, sucks to be me" but anything close to that coming true is a whole different kind of issue. Tuesday is Town Meeting Day in most small NH towns. And there's a ton of other stuff that's going to be impacted.

Dendrite/Mahk..   you guys have flakes in the air yet or are those radar returns virgo?  Trying to figure out if that's going to make it here before midnight.

 

No flakes here, northeast of KAFN.

That would Be a pretty high impact storm here. 6-8”’of snow and sleet 

Any chance that it actually happpens? There's a Friday evening / Saturday day event in the area that might be impacted if that forecast is realized.

Fluffy snow here - 2.5" 

At this point, I'd just love to know what it's going to be like at commute times tomorrow.  Am I going to wake up to 3 inches of snow with a nice sleet covering per GYX or 5-8" of snow from another site which coworkers default to? Type A planners go brrrr

It's not a jack & jill place but it is near a lake and very scenic, in case they're looking for a place to have their wedding: https://www.allrosefarmwedding.com

Crotched mountain reporting 30” in last 48 hours ...seems peculiar unless maybe they are reporting from 2k 
 

as areas around them at 1k got 12-14”

I lived in the condos across the street from the ski area quite a while ago. The difference between the condos and the center of town was frequently substantial in terms of the amount of snow. If they’re measuring in the right spot, I could see it being close. Greenfield got 17. Peterborough got 21. So maybe 25?

Amazed that we have power too. We've knocked some of the snow off the lines to the house. It'll be chainsaw and lopper work to get the driveway open. Fun times.

Where is she now?  I wonder...very bright light and pretty young-probably late 20s at the time.

My guess https://www.linkedin.com/in/heather-archambault and https://www.atmos.albany.edu/student/heathera/  Amazing work!

Yes.  We have done prepay with downside for years.  $4.39 (or &4.29? I forget) for this year.   Not fun but better than some

Ours was also 4.399 for a pre-buy contract. And again, better than playing the pricing roulette.

Camping in Greenfield NH. We fire.

If you're still around tomorrow evening, there's an Oktoberfest in the center of town.

Any car folks here want to take a guess at a problem I have? During the summer; the inside of my windows keep getting a weird foggy film on them thats hard to remove, almost like it’s greasy or something.

 

what could cause this? I though heater/coolant leak? But I’m not using heat and there is no evidence coolant is leaking and the car isn’t overheating 

Any chance it's off gassing from the plastics or plastic like materials? Does your car get really hot? (Park it in full sun during work, for instance.) I've used Sprayway glass cleaner in the blue and white can. It doesn't smell the best and you need to follow use a microfiber towel but it does a great job of getting the junk off of the interior windows.

Bitcoin just pushed thru some key resistance (100 day moving average ) and 5 month (moving average at 43,800). Close above that and a successful retest would basically flip crypto back to bullish . Alt coins are already running after bitcoin pushed thru these key levels couple hours ago 

On the prospect that Russia will take bitcoin for oil and gas?

Connecticut is going to suspended the 25 cent excise tax on gas for 3 months. 

Connecticut motorists should start seeing relief at the pump in early April with the General Assembly on Wednesday overwhelming approving a three-month suspension of the state’s 25-cent-per-gallon excise tax.

Hopefully it won't work like when NH cut the cigarette tax. The prices stayed the same and the state lost the tax dollars.

As some of you know,  MWN summit is a special place for my husband Bob and I.  On Jan 1 2008 the first day same sex  unions became legal in NH, we were married on the summit.  I gave the observatory a nice donation and they made an exception to their rules. About 10 of our family and friends crammed into a snow cat and were driven up to the summit.  That day a noreaster was heading up the coast. I was watching the weather very carefully the night before.  The next morning at the base  as we set out to go there was a high overcast that was rapidly lowering. By the time we got to around 4000 feet it started to snow and blow.  If it had been a clear day with light winds we would have been married outside but by the time we got to the observatory around noon the temperature was around 5F, with  snow and  wind around 50 gusting to 70ish, true blizzard conditions. It was hard to tell snow intensity with so much blowing and being in the clouds.  So the snow cat pulled close to the door and we all went inside and got married there.  At the summit there was a group of German scientists that were staying and they were our audience as well as the observatory people and the summit cat.  Is was  very  moving.  The observatory made us all a nice  lunch and then we headed back down in blizzard conditions.  I have to commend the snowcat drivers.  Very few people have experienced a true blizzard and zero vis.  I mean not more than 15 feet. The  road is marked with high stakes.  We were greeted at the base with about 8" of new snow and driving home could be a story in of itself.  MWN does not allow weddings in the observatory but they made an exception.  They asked us to not notify the media as they wanted to keep this quiet.  That was 13 years ago when things were a bit different.  Another first for the summit that few know about!

That's a terrific story of history, weather and love.
