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.

Hopefully you will luck out. No way to know for sure now of course.

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

Full drone video  

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!

31,2F  light snow  2.25"  fairly good snow growth

Time sensitive.   Friends just called me from Sturbridge on the Mass Pike.  Heavy snow with many accidents.  Road is slush covered and extremely slippery.  I was actually surprised how bad they said it was.  They were coming from NYC and said the north part of RT 84 was bad to but now they are thinking of getting a hotel instead of continuing east to their home in Boston.  

31.6F  Very light snow.  Temp has been 32F or below but we have had almost no precip.  Dusting...

GYX seems to like something about this storm, because they just upped their accumulation map.

They have 4" for me in the Plymouth area.  I will take the under

32.3F  First flakes

31.2F  Freezing rain and sleet   trees glazed

You are in a world of hurt . Zr tonight straight thru Friday morning. Good luck and wish we lived there 

27.6F ZR total skating rink out there. Wonder when I'll go about freezing. Do we do it again tomorrow night but in reverse as it gets colder on friday?

25.1F  Very light snow grains.  About 2" earlier.  Snow depth 11"

I don't like to see all that rain moving our way.  Could be quite the sneeker event this evening with freezing rain.  White pines already have snow on them so that could cause a quicker ice acretion?

Eat all the grapevines you want but don't mess up my snow stake!

Moderate snow 18.8F   Eyeballing 2".   We were in a dry slot for a couple of hours.  Finally some good snow but the end seems pretty near.

I guess this is what I deserve when I stated my desire to steal everyone's snow yesterday, haha. Don't want to step outside right now lest I be struck by a stray flurry.

Welcome to the forum.  I'm 30 miles NNE of you.  I'm in the same hole.  

Very very light snow.  Vis 4 miles  18.8F  1" new so far

Feather dusting with the squalls.  Glad others had some really great ones.
