That's the most I could find for NH on cocorahs. Saw 19.2" in Marlboro, VT - Windham County, 1482' elev. Looks like an outlier; 2nd might've been Landgrove with 12" (can't recall the county.) Measured 1.4" total, 0.7" at 9 last night and a repeat at 7 this AM as the snow was tapering off. Storm total was 1.08" with 0.28" from accumulating snow and 0.80" from RA and melt-on-contact snow, which was mainly 10:30 A to 2 P yesterday. Must've switched to RA during the night as the morning 0.7" had 0.10" LE and the bucket held 0.36". Got into Farmington by 7:45 this morning and saw less there than at my place, while Temple at 1220' reported 8.3", tops for Maine cocorahs.

Great way to open the homestand.

Records at KNYC go back thru 1869. Battery Park on the southern tip of Manhattan used to be the city's "official" site but was replaced for much the same reasons that plague Logan. Those records probably go back as far as those at the Park but ceased after 12/31/1960 when the 'officiality' switched. Hated to see the termination of such a lengthy record but at age 14 I didn't have the money to keep it going.

3.5 hours of S- all melted on contact, perhaps 0.2" LE. Just dz since 2 PM.

So it seems - it's always been something this cold season. First flakes at 10:30. Could snow all day at this rate and merely wet the leaves.

Why am I not surprised (at how this event is going.)

Fake news. Nothing was falling in Farmington at 8:30 and nothing has fallen yet here.

Most I found on cocorahs was 7" at Landgrove, Bennington County, elev. 1809'. Precip spinning in place just to our south - not a drop so far. GFS still has over 1" QPF but P&C now says only 1-2" snow, coming this evening/overnight. Can we elude this one too?

lol. We see that kind of dot over Katahdin all the time, much different than the larger blob that frequents the Presidentials.

Brady tossed 5 TDs in the 2nd period at the height of the snowfall. We got a bit of cold rain here, but 2 days later saw some white ground in shady areas along I-84 north of the Tolland massif. Were heading to DEC for #3 granddaughter's birth, which came at 10:22 on 10/22. (Or 22:22 military time)

Willows are greened up a bit here, male aspen catkins approaching full length, red maple in blossom. GYX put us under a warning because their threshold for siggy tree damage in wet sticky snow is 4", well below WSW criteria (as noted in their morning AFD). Been a tough winter for my woodlot - the 6" of 4:1 mush on 12/5-6 took down a few trees and bent some others and the winds on 3/29 felled 15-20 (and still counting - have not seen all the lot yet.) Then there's the tall fir shattered by lightning on 3/26. I like snow but I like trees, too.

Certainly important but probably not the whole story. My mom smoked heavily for 40 years then quit cold turkey when her COPD (Emphysema in her case) was diagnosed. Her lungs gradually failed over the next 15 years until the strain caused her death, probably from a stroke, at age 70. Had she not quit she probably wouldn't have reached 60. Her 2 (nonsmoking) sisters lived into their 90s with good health up until their final (fairly short) illnesses.

Or a month ago. Would probably be 12-18 here on the Ides.

Dublin, NH. Or better still, the old Temple Mountain ski area at 1475' (the parking lot), four miles east of Peterborough. Both look to be in the 20" area on the Euro clown map.

P&C has our town with 1-3, Farmington 6 miles to the west 2-5. These very marginal situations rarely do much here - might be non-accumulating slushy things here, an inch or 2 at the Farmington co-op and 5-8" for the Temple cocorahs (10 miles to my west) at 1220'. That's the spot that got 26" in late Feb 2010 while the co-op and I had around 10" at ~400'.

Not enough junk in the yard and the cabin isn't drooping.

I see 50.1" for your 15-16 entry on the snow table (1.9" more than I had), thus only 4.5" away. LEW has only 35" for 05-06 though their records were beginning to be wonky after 2002. (GYX recorded 50.4" for 0-06.)

GYX' low/middle/highest for Farmington is 0/2/3. Only need 1.9" or more to slip past 05-06 and into 3rd lowest snow season. wow

GYX discussion mentioned the 10:1, said that about half of that was more likely.

They were probably on the road on these days (or like the Yankees, had to postpone): 4/6/82: 36 22 1.10" 10.8" 4/7/82: 25 16 0.15" 2.5" also- 4/4/16: 30 24 0.41" 4.7" (and another 1.9" by 11:59 on 4/3)

Same sort of thing in forestry, though the stakes are lower. A classic description from a long-time forester I read years ago (and I'm going from distant memory): "When I approve my dentist to put in a filling, I don't feel qualified to tell her how to do it. Yet she and 200 million other Americans feel qualified to tell me how to manage my woodlot." We are fortunate to be living in the dumbest time of our history. Yay us. I'd rephrase that to, we are fortunate to be living in the time when the dumbest among us have the greatest opportunity to spread their dumbness.

TB12 is about 96 in football years.

Who is 3 years younger than Edelman. I think Julian is pulling the plug for good - he'll be 35 soon and might not even crack the overstuffed WR roster for the Bucs.

Me miss another one.

Carrots and greens mid-late May, generally put the 1st row of beans in a few days prior to June 1 and the tomatoes/peppers/cucurbits 1st week of June. Had 27° on June 1 last year but that was the first June frost since 2007. I plant 5 rows of beans at 1-2 week intervals as we prefer them straight off the bush. Some years they produce faster than we can eat them so some get processed for the freezer. I've tracked the full moons against late and early frosts and have found no skill. In Ft Kent the frosts were usually related to the full moon part of the cycle, in Gardiner just the opposite and here it's neither.
