  1. I'm in the car right now. As a passenger... On Route 93 in central New Hampshire. They have large DPW trucks with large cylinders on them and some kind of spray system spraying liquid calcium chloride on the roads. I have never seen them pretreat the interstate like this before a storm. Maybe they're doing it because this is the first time the roads have been treated the season I don't know?
  2. Thanks for the input on GFS, Will, Dryslot. Congrats on you SNE guys on getting in on it.
  3. Will, so much more than the GFS. Why is the GFS lacking so much in qpf? This would make sense for WSW for interior Maine while GFS is not
  4. GFS has been consistant of .10-.30" qpf up here in Central NH. Just a no big deal. Should I believe this? NAM,EURO is in the .6-.7" range?
  5. Boy this storm doesn't look like a big deal up here. GFS only has .25" or so qpf, Euro and NAM a bit more. Maybe this will be a 3-6" type event. Most will fall overnight. Guess Im getting jaded when a storm like this doesn't even get me excited and its only mid November. Glad the SNE weenies are getting something.
  6. Thanks for the advice about the Stratus. Since I'm not a Coop observer or anything I just keep rain/snow totals for my own curiosity. So going outside collecting what is in it, melting it for liquid etc. etc. is too much work. Easy to collect rain or do several yard measurements for snow is close enough for me. I'll second the thoughts that I am not ready for real winter. I can't believe how much wood I have already used. Usually, the stove doesn't really need to stay on until about now however it has already been going most of the time since the 3rd week in October. I have the oil backup but really like the constant heat of the wood stove. I have a new weather/cam site. Our internet provider (Metrocast) was bought out by Atlantic Broadband and my old site does not work. I am not a techy at all but I used Wix and built a new site with my 2 webcams and the weather info from the Davis station. I still am tweaking the site but its up as of tonight. I want to add a video from the drone of exactly where the station is and the surrounding countryside and terrain of the house. www.bridgewaternhweather.com Bundle up. 15F at 745pm. Too cold for 11/14
  7. Just drove South on Route 93 from my house in the Plymouth area down to Tilton 20 miles south. Pretty sharp line between absolutely no snow and totally snow-covered right through this area. The models had predicted that and they were pretty spot-on with where it set up.
  8. Duh I never thought of that. Mine have cracked in the past with the inner cylinder. Wonder how accurate it is measuring melted snow with the larger cylinder?
  9. I remember as a kid a Boston snowstorm on Nov 15th. I kept daily weather records when I lived in Wayland Mass just west of Boston. Went back and look. Nov 15 1967 According to my records ( I was 11 years old) we had 7" of snow and temps falling from 32 in the AM to 26 in the evening. Also said there was blowing and drifting in the PM.
  10. Yesterday's storm produced .97" liquid. 4" of that was snow. Took in the Stratus for the winter. 2-3" of snow remains. Flurries late night gave a fresh dusting. 20.6F Partly cloudy with passing flurries right now. I has been 17 years since we moved up here from the Boston area. Can't believe it has gone by so fast. I was thinking about the light flurries this morning and how often they happen. Seems like flakage is in the air every few days. Never amounts to much like the upslope regions but down in Boston flurries were few and far in between. Here I don't even notice them unless a snow shower is intense enough to put down a coating.
  11. 35F and slush city. Glacier incoming. Does the cold air gradually come in this evening or will there be a sharper cold front type event with a few squalls and quickly dropping temps?
  12. NNE is doing good this AM. Just went out and finally measured at 10am. 3.25" and that is after 3 hours of rain. So I probably got 4" or so before flip. Raining at the base of Watervill e but snowing at the base of Loon and north.
  13. 3 in of snow here. Stuck on the dirt road too plow just went by. Since it's raining the packs can absorb all the way which would be a b**** to try to shovel off the driveway. Our snow blower doesn't work and crap like this.
  14. Snow has glaciated down here too. 1 mile drive from 600 feet to 1600 feet is the difference between no snow and solid coverage that is glaciated. Once the snow goes through the cycle of a bit of melting during the day and freeze up at night it becomes so much more durable. I'm not a hunter and they will all be out this week. Glad we have a couple of crap days to keep some inside. Nov 14th thru Dec 9th is regular firearm season in NH.
  15. I use wxbell. PF was the one who suggested it a couple of years ago after I was always asking what was the Euro shows. The only thing that I don't like is the way the graphics and drop down menus work. I'm always going into the US regions or Boston metro. The weatherbell logo banner takes up too much of the page so I have to go to full screen. Maybe it is just my PC laptop resolution. I called them earlier this year and they said they were going to do a full redesign this past summer. Still waiting on that.
  16. An interesting weather week coming up. Tuesday storm, very cold and windy midweek and now another colder storm possible on Friday. Let's lock in the 12Z Euro. 985mb low going over Cape Cod is perfect track for most of us. Good ole noreaster. First got to get through the Tuesday mess. Oh Alex, tried your BW link but it doesn't seem to work.
  17. Going to be an interesting early/mid week. Another coastal with mixed. Then wow on the wind and cold. Just looked at the 18Z GFS. Going down to 10-15F for most of NNE Tuesday night and staying in the teens for highs on Wednesday. Going to feel brutal.
  18. Nice to see a snow covered landscape this AM at least on the hills in the NW part of NH Lakes Region. Few inches on the hills above 1500 feet with snow covered trees. About 3/4" here at 1100 feet. Nothing down a Newfound Lake level 587 feet.
  19. Brian, glad you're getting some frozen. Precip has become very light and back to a mix here 33.6F which is my low. Funny how people sometimes say. "oh the ground is too warm, nothing should stick". Well, my 3/4" inch all came down at 34-36F. Dirt road is covered too. Was up around 40F today and has not been below freezing much at night. So to me its all a fallacy that snow can't stick with warm ground, it sure can and doesn't have to pound at 1/8 mile and heavy snow either.
  20. 33.8/27F temps continue to fall. Moderate snow. 1/2" in past 30 minutes since it switched to all snow. Just took a ride. Up at the top of my hill 1500 feet perhaps 2" with lots of sagging pines. Down at the bottom of my hill at Newfound Lake level 587 feet (I think) its a 50/50 rain/snow mix no accumulation Looks like backedge getting closer.
  21. Update. Over to moderate snow. Temp and dew continue to drop. 34/28F Quick ground coating
  22. 35.5/29 Moderate snow mixed with rain. Finally, after 2 hours I have gone over to mostly snow. Congrats to much of NNE where snow is falling. Alex's webcam showing a winter wonderland as of 8pm. Places that are getting some good accumulations are going to keep it for a while
  23. 35.7F Rain and snow 1100 feet. Drove 1/2 mile up my road and 400 feet higher. Moderate very wet snow and grass has a sloppy coating. Im sure the hills around here at 2000 feet are white tonight.
  24. 36.2/31 moderate rain and snow. Trying really hard to flip.
  25. 37.3/32 Catpaws... It's a bit mentally unsettling to have a 62 year old man running outside and watching for a mangled snowflake on a car windshield. Neighbor that just drove by is going to report me for odd behavior. That being said I just looked at Alex's cam and he's over to accumulating snow
