Pretty creepy cloud formations with the setting sun as tue rain winds down. We were still getting some stray CGs about 10 minutes ago while I was outside. It almost looked like low level mammatus that you could reach out and touch. 

The sunset was very strange up here in Central NH.  People were commenting on it down at our country store.   As the sunset, it looked like it was reflecting through falling snow perhaps 2500 feet above the surface creating unusual lighting.  Then I saw the mammatus too but they were much lower than summer storms.

We are dealing with a network outage so I haven't been keeping up but what do you mean its ending? I thought this thing was going through tomorrow...???

Alex,  the initial wave of moisture is moving through and it will come to an end up your way probably in the next hour.  Then as the storm gets going in the Gulf of Maine the winds turn north and moisture backs in from the north and east so the precip will restart.  That will bring in the colder air and it should fall as snow overnight.  Down my way its downslope off the Whites and Im too far SW to get the good wrap around.  That's my non Met take on things...

Nice sunset for me as the thunderstorms and heavy rain move east.  

Great afternoon weather wise.  Rain began with temps in the low 40's.  Became steady and heavier with occ. lightning.  Around 515pm, as the sun was getting low the sky became an errie yellow.  I suspect it was the sun shining through heavy snow above me.  Lots of lightning and thunder with some close hits.  Rain is ending with mostly lots of blue sky to the west.  After very little wind it has become quite breezy.  Very similar to the end of a summer T storm.  Looks like about .75"   Congrats Euro as far as QPF.  

Lightning bolt just hit north of the house.  I would guess within 1000 feet.  Lit up sky.  Webcam didn't catch the bolt but it lit the ground.  Quick clip with light and sound.  https://video.nest.com/clip/1ecbd045a9094e94894968bf8a11ecd7.mp4

Over to snow at Lost River.  Wow, a beautiful sunset.  It's raining hard but snow just above me.  The sun is shinning through heavy snow.  I'll try to post a pic

Pretty dynamic little system. Tors down in SNE. 39F and +TSRA here. And flipping over to snow up at Lost River and Franconia Notch.

+TSRA here too.  38.6F.  (.65") Sky is becoming pink to the west so looks like there will be a sharp cut off.  Alex up at Bretton Woods says 50/50 snow rain but he can see ski trails getting white just above him.

Thunderstorm with moderate rain.  Temp falling.  Down to 38.7F  About .35" rain so far.

Light to moderate rain has started.  Looks like the snow line is around 2300 feet in the Whites right now.  Lost river cam has rain but the mountains just above are obscured in snow.  I think the areas above 1500 feet in the Whites will do very well this evening.

Edit.  Looks like a mix at the base of Loon as of 2pm

37.4F  Mixed  rain/snow shower just moved through.   Alex,  your in an interesting spot for later.   Probably your first good snowfall of the season.

It's interesting your talking about smartphones and cell service.  I took that all for granted living in Metro Boston.  Then moved up here.  Along Rt 93 through NH great cell service.  However much of rural NNE has no cell service.  We drove from here to Bath Maine yesterday, 130 mile and I was trying to look at the models.  Very hard to do unless we were passing through larger towns or the Portland area.  It's the haves and have nots..

I can't believe you are still 75% leafed out down there.  Been full stick season even down in the valley for the last 5-7 days it seems.

Yesterday we drove from our area to the coast of Maine north of Portland.  75% plus leafed out at least the whole way.  A 3-7" heavy wet snow would cause quite a bit of damage right now.  Here is a drone shot from this afternoon over my area.  Newfound Lake on the left..  This is looking north towards Plymouth NH

Looks like a near miss for me from that developing Maine low.  Never do good in wrap around moisture but the season is still very young.  Trees are still mostly in leaf around here so some glop would create more problems than normal.

Never know if I should be posting in the NNE threads or the main ones that get all the hits.  Will try to get this thread more active but now many of us northerners.

Just catching up on AMWX.  Wow, this thread got off track.  Anyway looks like a close near miss for us in North Dendriteland. for some accumulating snow.  If that Maine low could get going a bit further SW I would be in business.  Trees still have about 75% of their leaves so even 4" of glop would give me some issues.  

Then there is this weekend.  Couple of days ago it looked like a nice monster storm.  Now the GFS/Euro have a 990 something slowly coming up the coast.  18Z GFS is the perfect track for me,  elbow of the Cape.  Probably a month later I would be in business.

Carry on.....

34F light flurries this evening. 

We need to start that snow thread again so I can add in my .5" from the other morning.  Gray AFD seems bullish on mountain accumulating snow on Tuesday.  Then a big storm next weekend.  Way out there but don't see a lot of cold air.  Track could be anywhere, hook inland or off the coast.  This mornings GFS had the storm at the elbow of the cape.  That's a perfect track in winter for me.

Nice to be back in an active pattern.  From this point forward snow possibilities increase climo wise. 

Congrats Alex on the pup.  Now we got to get your cam going,  I never know what is happening in the Whites.

I'm definitely jealous of Mitch's home location but I also just walked from my front door down the Rec Path to a place to share a scorpion bowl and some sushi with my wife before the NCLS Game 7 started.  I'm a born and raised suburban kid, ha, so I enjoy having civilization comforts so close by.  As I've said before, where I am right now I can easily walk to everything from breweries like the Alchemist to a dozen restaurants and the closest to me happens to be a hibachi japanese steakhouse like you'd find in any suburb, usually sitting next to the Olive Garden or something. 

And it's an 8 minute drive to 1,500ft in the Stowe parking lots.

You definitely live in a Sweet Spot that's for sure. Like all the pictures of your pup still remember him bounding in the snow when you first got him.

Too bad there's no real  cold air up here for this potential bomb. Elbow of Cape 975mb on 12z gifs perfect track for me.

Sneaky NNE system on the Euro . Early ski season continues 

I'm taking one day at a time.  So many big possibilities late next week.  Closer to home wonder what my  might be on this next batch of moisture later tonight.  GFS shows it now getting as far as me.  Euro in 30 minutes.  Will be fun to start watching.

Hum,  the 12Z GFS getting the precip far enough north to perhaps give us a dusting later tonight.  Something to watch for Lakes Region

Well we've got a $2600 balance and tempted to hold payment.

Lava,  I just went back through this thread to read all your posts. 

Hum...  I think the landscape guys are negligent to some degree.  You live in Raymond Maine.  IMO your pretty darn far north for hydroseeding on Oct 6th.  First the guy said he was sick for a week.  Then they didn't spread the loam because they said it was too wet. If you had started 2 weeks earlier you  would have been much better off.  Your grass will probably germinate but not to the point that runoff channels will not form over the next 5 months till growing season starts again. That is what happened to me.  Now its Oct 18th and looking forward temps sure don't look very warm.  Growing hours become short.  If you don't have a guarantee in your paperwork maybe you should talk to the landscape company and if you pay them in full and the lawn does not take they at least come back in May and try again.  Get that in writing.  The main part of the project was the loam.  Hydroseeding that area can't cost too much.  Make them come back if necessary.  Good Luck...

37F up here on the hill at 1pm.  Snow squall came through just before dawn and whitened everything up.  Snow remains in the shade.  Didn't bother walking back in the house to pull out the measuring stick but maybe 1/2 to 3/4"?

PF,  nice to see the snow...I had a  graupel shower around 530pm with temp at 44F.  Then cleared up this evening.  Rain showers then moved back in.   Went to moderate snow for 5 minutes or so at 36F with gusty winds to 34mph.

1030pm  with flurries in the air.  

I'm sure a wide area of NNE had the first flakes of the season tonight.

1030pm  Graupel shower earlier dusted the ground.  Then cleared out.  Rain showers moved in around 930am and turned to moderate snow squall wind gusting to 34mph.  Now just light snow.   First snow of the season.

45.4F and moderate graupel shower coming through.  One neighbor calls and says its snowing.  Next neighbor calls and says its hailing.  One thing for sure the pellets are large and making a racket.  Perhaps this evening as the column cools off we will have the first snow showers of the season up here in the NH Lakes Region.

Looks like the first flakes here in the foothills of the Whites will fall early this evening.  

Our lawn is  lush and green right now.  Did the final mow yesterday.  We have so few trees around the house that no leave cleanup.  The few trees we have, ash out back and horse chestnut and red maple out front are now bare.

Just as we finished the mow with our 52" zero turn ride tractor it blew a tire as we were bring it in for the winter, perfect timing...

Drone shot....
