Two-day snow from the cocorahs site there: 16.5". Next highest cocorahs in NH was BML with 7. Think you're going to like it there.

Doesn't have the Temple cocorahs, 13" thru yesterday morning and 0.4" in flurries during that day. (Or my 0.2" flurries atop the initial 8.3". That many flakes in the air would've been another inch in January.) Jacks in Rangeley country and Bigelow to Crocker. Still no power. 25hr Ours came on at 3:30, after blinking off at 8:45 yesterday morning, not quite 31 hours and the longest we've been dark since moving here; 30 hours in Dec 2000 had been the worst. Only had to cut one fairly small tree out of the road, but 2 bigger ones (50' tall maple and 60' pine) tipped onto the lines about 3 miles to our north, the pine still there about noon today.

At 9 last night measured 4.8" from 0.80" LE, exactly 6:1 and that's what it felt like. Also 0.36" RA before the changeover. Overnight another 3.5" and 0.34" LE, 10:1 but still very sticky, about 7" at the stake. That 8.3" puts this winter into the 80s. 15 of the previous 21 were in 60s/70s/90s/100s but never 80s - just a statistical fluke. (Have also had one winter each in 40s/50s/110s/120s/130s/140s.) Multiple power blinks but so far it's always come back on. Small willow tree (3" by 30') is laying on the wires and I've about to take a long stick and whack the branches, hoping it's bent but not broken.

IMO, the Knife Edge is the most acrophobia-inducing blazed trail in the east, though I've not seen more than a tiny fraction of trail miles in the region. The trail up the cliff edge on Kineo is right up there, but all one needs there is to walk away from the cliff. Knife Edge doesn't offer that escape.

Mostly light/moderate snow since the big flakes departed around 5:30. The best bands seem either to go around here or die south of Route 2. May not reach the 8-12" from the GYX map unless that changes. Maybe 1" over the past 2:30. Only has to beat 5.2" to be 4th biggest April snowfall here. (3rd is 11.3" - not happening.) Lights went out for about 10 seconds at 7:30 and we thought that was it. Have blinked a couple times since. Snow is a bit drier with small flakes so maybe we escape?

So I could see. As long as they remain straight, all will be well. Can't say the same for the pines in the background - too many horizontal snow-catchers.

Same temp and 3" in 2 hours. More of a damp powder than glop here, maybe 8:1 instead of 5:1. Wind is light/moderate but shaking some off the deciduous trees - hope that continues (and the fir and pines hold together.)

Tried cropping, no joy. Had some silver dollars for a bit, back to nickels and quarters. 1.5" in 1st hour.

Quick half inch - unfortunately my pics are 4.92 mb and my limit is 4.88 (and when I go thru the "compact" routine nothing changes.) Trees are well frosted - our power may be in trouble if we get more than 6".

My place is (as usual) right on a color change boundary, but this time it's between 8-18 and 12-18. Point Range What's this?

About what it looks like here. Moderate SN atm, nickels and a few quarters.

Mostly SN here - had a period of decent flakes, though their rapid rate of descent means low ratios. Better echoes upstream.

For a mass of mountain, the Presidentials are definitely tops, IMO. The NC Apps are taller but are in the midst of 3,000' plateaus and also wooded, so don't seem as impressive. But for a single peak I'd take Katahdin viewed from the south, as it's 4,000' higher than anything between eye and peak.

Slushy flakes here though less right now as we're between pockets of heavier precip.

That observer is at 1,775'.

The Randolph observer for cocorahs generally reports the most snowfall in NH, except when it's SNE storms.

More like SE to NW (Jeff to Bridgton) perhaps? Our zone got bumped from 4-10 to 4-14. Light rain arrived 11:40, near 40° but feels colder. Expect mix to start when precip gets heavier.

Latest GYX map has my place in the 8-12" area. Ranges for Farmington have increased from yesterday afternoon's 4/10/15 to 5/11/17 this morning, and they're now above 0% for 18+. (Though not much above zero %)

44.666 and 70.027 according to cocorahs, and I assume that's from data I provided.

lol Steve, Roughly where the 9.7 is here and i marked where Tom is and Lava approx. A bit too far north. We're a mile or 2 SW from where the county line makes that 90° turn.

Jeff is close to the 7 of 9.7. Go from there halfway to the 8 in 19.8 and it's close to my place,. just west of the county line and also the north edge of "2nd red" - looks like the 11-12" color.

Three homes on our 2000' of dead-end (in winter) road - guess who's tail-end Charlie for power restoration. (As long as nothing gets wrecked within that 2000', we'll be okay.)

We've made a down payment for an on-demand generator but it can't be installed until the underground gas line can be dug. Glad the winter wasn't bitter cold - less frost to thaw.

"Some" people - my lament was for big April snow forecasts that didn't verify, or verified to the south. Of course, the snowblower gas tank is nearly empty. The machine was running on fumes when I finished up the 3/24 dump, and not (then) seeing anything significant coming up, I didn't want to fill the tank only to have to drain it before putting it away later in the month. Anything under 8" this time of year doesn't warrant using the blower, the trade-off being a few hours of waiting compared to hurling more driveway material onto the lawn.

They got something like 17" on April 28-29, 1987. Only about 7" for central Maine and the foothills.
