It will get dark at night. Even in areas like mine with 98% it will get extremely dark.

I live in the Plymouth area of Central NH. Route 25 west and up along the Conn River on the NH side is another option. Cross one of the bridges into Vermont and take side roads at least up to St Johnsbury. Also the NW are just west and north of Littleton NH gets briefly into totality. There are quite a few country roads if you have Google Maps etc. although cell service is very spotty in that area of NH.. It will not get very dark but Bailey's beads, Diamond Ring will last longer and you might be able to avoid lots of traffic. It all depends on the weather. If there is a high probablility of good weather a couple of days in advance, the more people will decide to head north. If it is iffy or of course a poor forecast with a large synoptic storm about to hit.... then just sleep in.

Crap, another snowstorm! My 18" on the north side of my nearly flat area of my roof is not melting. Whether it's rain or snow I have to have it snowraked. Crazy for the very end of March.

I guess maybe if you clear just before IP, then wait 6 hours and clear again before flip? I just waited until the storm was over and do 1 measurement. It's always a controversal issue. No way Northfield got more than me.

Take a look of my records on the snow thread. I had one storm early in the season with 8 in while at the bottom of my Hill was like a slushy 2 in. That helped in a lot of nickel and dimes. But I recorded everything.

Just about at the end. 18.75". This brings me to 76" for the season. Slightly below my norm but very close.

845pm SN 17.5"

740pm SN++ the heaviest snow i have seen with a synoptic system in the past few years other than the crazy meso band in the Dec 2022 storm. Almost snow squall intensity. 14.25"

Complete with dripping sounds. SN+ here. Vis is down to under 1/4 mile. Almost "squall" like heavy

SN but really good snow growth. Great storm. Best since Dec 2022 with that mega band.

26.3F Parachutes. Over the past few hours the precipatation has changed from snow to IP and back several times. Most of the time it has been sleet. In the last 5 minutes it has again flipped to snow. Will this be it for the duration? i would think so.

26.2 IP 12"

Flipping back to SN. 25.8F My accumulation had been stuck at around 12" but will now commence again.

IP 25.7F

and just like that it went from SN+ to IP. KLW, the CC is radar Correlation Coefficent. It's a good way to see where the snow sleet line is.

Really interesting to watch the CC. The mix wants to come up my way but at the last moment gets shunted to the east. SN but close to SN+ 25.6F

I flipped almost to all IP about half an hour ago but back to 100% snow. Very good snow growth too

25.2F SN Over the past 45 minutes IP has mixed in. At one point 30 minutes ago it almost changed to all IP. Back to all snow

2pm SN- IP- goes back and forth 25.2F Just under 12" but I assume sleet will mash down the pack. I could use a snowboard and reclear in 6 hours but I'm just going to watch the snow stake.

24.9F SN but the first IP is trying to mix in. 11.5"

24.8F Snow had been moderate most of the day but now SN+

SN 24.6F Snow growth has improved. Not the fine sand from earlier.

I'm watching your obs carefully as your only 20 miles SSE as the crow flies. I just looked at the HRRR and 12Z GFS and it seems it is nudging colder. Also noted on the HRRR some heavy qpf comes in this evening. The IP line looks to get to me or about 5 miles north. It is going to fun watching how this sets up. I went with 7-14" and still over 1" qpf to come. If this stays snow accums are going to be huge. Noon SN 24.3F

SN 24F Just passing through 10". Snowing 1-2" per hour. Snow growth has improved. Warmer air moving in aloft?

23.8F SN 8.5"ish
