We used to abbreviate GOM meaning Gulf of Mexico.  If I referred to the gulf of Maine I’d say GOMaine.  I propose what was GOM become GOAM and the gulf of Maine become GOM.  I haven’t been contacted as an advisor but we know this page is looked at…..

New England is named because of England. Perhaps new names for all states that have new before  the name.

I hope this bitterly cold doesn't screw up the Gulf of Mexico too much...I want 70's dewpoints in here by May. But hey...the deep south steals our snow, maybe we'll steal their severe  

All goverment agencies must refer to this body of water as of The Gulf of America. NWS too. Going to be so confusing. 30 days to change I believe.

Do I understand?   Within 30 days all federal agencies must refer to the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America?

-.05F  The settlers of 1795 sure knew how to site houses back then.  A balmy night here on my hill.  Far cry from my all time record of -20F.   Of this was just the fake cold everyone down below is whining about.

Meanwhile, just a wow down in the Gulf of whatever.   Florida should break their all time biggest snowfall 

Milton FL  March 6 1954

I made this YouTube short and hour ago 

33.1F  -SN    About 1/3".  

32.7F  -SN  Vis about 3/4 mile.  Ground is getting white as the temperature inches down

35/29.5F  Light snow just begun.

11.2F Mostly sunny with light snow.   Winds are really cranking.

Damn. This band might be producing best snows of the day here in HoCo. It’s like the perfect scene outside right now. Stupid me cleared the cars off for apparently no reason. 

I'm lurking in the thread.  Originally from Baltimore but live in N NH now.  I use the leafblower to clear our cars if the temperature is below around 28F.   The fluff later will blow right off.  Enjoy.  Meanwhile mostly bare ground up here.

Ha, GFS.  952mb low.  What is the lowest pressure of any nor'easter that has come up the coast inside 40/70?

51F  Up here on my hill we went into the warm air around daybreak.  That quickly ate away at our snow cover.  Down below at Newfound Lake or 1P1 they are still in the cold air around 40-45F.  The deer will be out in mass a bit later getting a quick meal before snow cover returns.  

Another nail bitter tomorrow night.

Could you recommend one? I'd love to try an American Chestnut, but other options could be nice as well. There were two Chestnut trees in the woods near my grandparents house in SImsbury years ago. My grandfather and myself used to check on them regularly... but last time I was up there was in 1992! I doubt they still exist, but I really should check sometime.

Brian, 3 chestnut trees are growing like crazy but I think I planted them too far away from each other when they get mature enough to pollinate.  We will see.

15.3F Light snow    2.25"

-1F  first time to hit 0F  in two years.

23F  Skies have cleared with lots of stars but still snowing lightly.  1/4"  congrats to SNE

20F Light snow.  Snow grains have gone over to bona fide flakage.  Perhaps 1/4".  With a cold snow like this I just use my leaf blower and quickly clean off the cars.  The trick for cars is to make sure the cabin has been cold so there is no ice buildup on the windshield.  I'm very happy that many people on the forum are seeing snow for a white Christmas!

23.4° -SN

Poor growth…maybe an occasional larger crystal mixed in. Just a coating.

Exact same thing here but knock off a couple of degrees.  I hope you and Lisa have a great Christmas

Looking back to last night,  I ended up with about 1.75".   The winner in my area was 4" at 1500 feet in Groton NH.  

32.8F  Light to moderate snow.  It is snowing hard enough the the surfaces are getting white.

34.1/31.6  Light to moderate rain and big parachutes.  It keeps flipping.

37.6/31  Mix of rain and snow has begun

43/32F  Not that any of you are interested in tonight but it is sure warm today.  Even at my elevation this is going to be hard to get snow to stick.

Congrats KBOX  60.1F

51F  Quite windy. Just had a gust to 32mph.  We have had a solid pack since Nov 28th.  Getting very thin on our south slopes.  Lots of water content so it is a slow melt.  Maybe a few inches tomorrow night?
