32.0F Light to almost moderate snow. Where did this come from? It started an hour ago with snow grains which I assumed was from the moist low level flow. Over the past 15 minutes it's legit snow with goof flakage. Ground is dusting white. Edit: Snow back to very light Could this be a real birch bender/blue bomb up here tonight? If so we are redy. Recently bought a Jackery solar generator. 1000plus. No more starting the genny outside and dealing with all that at 1 in the morning. This is quiet power, no cords running outside anymore. I charged it yesterday via the sun and it should run refrig, lights etc. for 24 hours if need be. Honda genny is still here for backup.

Hum, I starting to think of a birch bender tomorrow night. No watches or advisories for the Southern half of Grafton Co. but at least the clown maps showing a sneaky heavy hit especially at higher elevations.

58.3F, sunshine and no wind makes me a happy boy.

Peak gust today has been 36mph. I would guess we have about 75% of snowcover remaining. Woods have cover but south facing open pastures like mine lost just about everything yesterday. The lawn mowing crew has arrived early. Currently I count 27 of the creatures. Here are a few of them chomping away.

What is the science behind lake streamers? You can clearly see upslope and downslope in this picture but why do thin streamers form and stay intact for over 100 miles? I guess I'm lazy and could look it up but maybe others in the forum might be interested in the answer. I don't remember seeing such organized streamers?

37F flipping to snow about one hour past fropa

Front went through at 9:25pm, 15 minutes ago. Very brief heavy rain but meh on the wind. It's roaring in the trees and I'm sheltered due west but my high wind gust was only 23mph. Temp is down from 50F to 44F

T minus 10 minutes for fropa 51.2 So far highest gust S 26.

I just read the Gray Maine discussion and it seems pretty meh..... Wednesday will likely be the warmest day of the week, high temperature records look like they could be broken Wednesday in Augusta. 40-50 mph winds are anticipated along the coast, with up to strong gale force winds likely over the open waters overnight Wednesday. A cold front moves across the region Wednesday night, bringing rain and a little bit of snow Thursday morning. The very warm temperatures look to release a substantial amount of snowpack across interior NH and Maine. The added snowmelt on top of the rainfall expected Wednesday and Thursday could cause some river rises and ice movement. Thursday looks to be a brisk and chilly day. However, as the winds diminish later on Thursday night, high pressure returns to the region and ridging continues through the weekend. We are looking at a warm and dry start to March.

Well, it's a wrap and a fail. Newfound Lake NH will not have a "ice in" this season. It tried this week and almost made it until today. Even with the cold weekend the NW wind will break up much of the thin ice. I believe this is the 3rd time the lake failed to freeze in the past 100 years.

30.5F Light to almost moderate snow 1.25"

7:30am Light snow 30.3F 1"

The Mt Washington Observatory has added a webcam feed from the top of Cannon. They have 2 cams on the summit but the 3rd cam that looks north is old and offline quite a bit. I contacted them and offered to buy them a new cam setup. They accepted my offer and will be doing that. The cam will be inside but they plan to replace the window with better glass and perhaps heat the cam lens area so rime will not buildup quite as fast. Mt Washington also received a grant to greatly expand it's mesonet weather stations. They will be adding 17 new sites starting this summer. I think that is super as it will aid hikers to weather conditions at elevations. It would also be nice to have a station at the top of Mt Lafeyette but they do have the Cannon station at 4000 feet.

Hi Eyewall. How is life down south? Hey, I think you are the most knowledgable about solar eclipses on the forum and I have a question that I can't find the answer to on the web. Here in my hood of Central NH I will be at 98% coverage. I know that if you are not under totality the difference is like almost being dead and being dead. ( I heard that once from someone describing a total solar eclipse). It is true with my experience in Aruba years ago. My specific question is at 2% would people that stay here be able to see the Diamond Ring? I know Bailey's beads will not be possible. I think shadow bands will be visiable. I will wait right up to the day before the eclipse to decide my travel plans. I do know the back roads to at least get me north of Littleton.

Are we locking this in? Ha, maybe we should start a thread? Then we know nothing like this would ever happen.

1.5" I was expecting 3"ish. All the models seemed to have Plymouth NH with about .22" liquid

26.8F Moderate snow. After an hour of virga the snow came in like a wall with strong winds.

It's midday on Wednesday. I was just looking at the vis. sattelite and noticed something. I enhanced the image but there is a NE to SW line of heavier snow in Eastern Mass. Kind of the reverse of Ocean Effect snow. Perhaps the slightly warmer ocean water warmed up parts of Eastern Mass just enough to keep accumulations lower? It does not appear to be related to the storm track. Thoughts?

Looks like KBOS is about done. Looking at the webcams there is a solid blanket of snow at Boston College but just a dusting at the Charles and science center. I would guess Logan will have between a trace and perhaps an inch if they cheat a bit.

A friend of mine runs a large landscape/plowing company in Metrowest Boston. He has 60 guys coming in at 7am. It's a big decision that has to be made this evening. I heard Boston already called off school? I have not been following this storm too closely as it has always been pretty much a whiff up here but wow. What a sh...ow if this south trend were to continue

Like Scott just said, what a day!! After a week of low clouds and below freezing temperatures that mountains are just white against the blue sky. I took the drone up to Franconia Notch. Incredibly beautiful. Much more so that a tropical sunset. I want such a day as this on April 8th!
