Moderate rain 33.7F   High was 34.1F but the temperature is inching down.  So much slush out there. 10" at the snowstake

32.6F Sleet and rain.  Wind roaring in the trees.  High gust 34

-IP 32.2F   every once in awhile a flip to some mangled flakes.  2"  finally above freezing

Wind gusting to 32mph

31.9F light snow/sleet and freezing rain. Est 1.5" new

Been busy today and before I read this thread I was shaking my head.  This is why you have to dig deeper than just a first glance

Well it's noon and finally got power back.  We had 7" of snow before the flip at 130am.  Temperatures stayed around 35 to 36F until 9am this morning with the high at 41F right now.  Winds cranked up here with a peak wind of 44mph around 5am.

I started with 11" of powder on the ground and now have 11" of extremely heavy pack.  Impossible to snowblow this stuff.

That brings me to 35" so far on the season

31.5/23.7 over the river and through the woods from MHT

eagerly awaiting the great melt

Only 24.9/22 here in Central NH

24.9F  Calm winds

Sure going to be interesting up at my elevation with the SSE to SW view to the horizen.  Going to snow so hard before the flip with paste and wind.  People around town just saying we had 10" so no big deal with a flip to rain after a few inches.  Hope they are prepared.

Generator gassed up and roof has been shoveled awaiting this next round.  Anyone starting an obs thread?

Really good consensus around GYX of 4-5 inches before a flip. I'm a little wary because the snow growth zones is so elevated that we can hang on to 15:1 ratios.

I really don't know how much snow to expect here in SE Grafton County.  Gray just has us under a Hazard Weather Outlook.  No high wind advisory nor winter weather advisory.  We kind of stick out with all kinds of watches around us.  I'm thinking of 5-8" ?  Roof loads will become an issue if we don't warm up much tomorrow and then get another storm late week

Interesting satelite picture this morning.  You can see the difference in snowfall from Cape Ann to NE Rhode Island with the wind trajectory  yesterday.  More snow vs less snow in a straight line

17.7F Moderate snow  7"

I'm  just catching up on some of these eclipse questions.

*IF*  it is looking like a sunny weather day it will be near impossible to get through Franconia Notch heading northbound and then southbound after the eclipse.  You will need to learn the backroads.  What I'm planning on doing is finding a home or business and offering some cash and asking to just park in their driveway.  I assume plenty of people will be friendly and will be looking to make a buck. 

I was near the centerline on the beach in Aruba when I saw my total eclipse.  It is not just watching the sun but looking around the sky towards the horizens and seeing the colors changing so fast.  The wall of blackness just came in like a wave of darkness.  If you travel and get under the patch of totality it is best to get as close to the centerline as possible.  Otherwise the part of the sky that is not under totality stays pretty bright so you won't see stars or get the full night time experience.

We got 3”… doesn’t seem that far fetched that Loon could have gotten 4

Hum,  guess it could be.  On the Waterville Valley Cam it looks like they just got a heavy dusting and that is over the ridge.  I'm glad you guys at least have a snowcover.  Totally 100% bare here.  Not even plow piles.  Maybe the next storm will not be supressed south.  Happy NY to you and the family

Loon is reporting 4" new.  There one weather cam is not operating.  I don't believe more than 1" to perhaps 2" fell any place in the Whites at the end of yesterday's storm.

34.6F  light snow shower moving through

Probably just going to go out onto my porch.

You could stay at your house but totality will be in and out very fast.  By the time you say,  wow, wow,wow it will be lover. It will get dark but not the  nightime darkness to your north.  If it is a sunny day and if you can take (even a short drive north) as the difference of Barre and even Waterbury will be  huge!!  The good thing in your location is you can wait and see what the cloudiness looks like

I saw one total eclipse in my life.  Traveled to Aruba.  The most awesome thing I have ever witnessed as far as nature is concerned. Better than the 2 tornadoes I once saw on a tornado tour I went on.  Tell your boss you want the day off.  I know that Colebrook NH is planning on 30,000 people.  If it looks like a nice day the interstates going north are going to be jammed so plan ahead.  I live about 35 miles south of the path of totality.  I know many of the back roads going north but of course will wait.  If it there is a departing storm and it looks better in NY State we will just head that way the day before and sleep in the car if necessary.

You HAVE to be in the path of totality.  Even if your location has a 99% partial eclipse that 1% screws it up.  I heard an expression about a total solar eclipse regarding the path of totality.  It is like almost being dead to really being dead.

If we could just get rid of this piece of shit we might actually have a chance at a rain --> snow  NJ model deepener out of next week. 

 Pretty amazing for Dec 28th.  Perfect track and the piece of shit makes  it rain all the way up to the St. Lawrence and beyond.

90mph at 600ft is absolutely wild though in the larger scheme of things.  Don’t care if it’s a bit exposed.  It’s not like it’s got 2k+ feet of prominence.  Stack like half a dozen tall trees on top of each other to get there.

It's high but their amazing gust was 186mph during the Hurricane of 1938.  During that hurricane they also had 121mph sustained.  According to Wikapedia that is the strongest hurricane surface wind  ever recorded in the United States

I know this is totally off topic but a lot of us here are interested in earthquakes, volcanoes all things natural science etc.  The eruption that everyone in Iceland was worried about just happened. Huge lava fountains all caught live as it happened.   Okay back to weather....

What a shit show. Mom had pine tree land on house. Doesn't sound like water coming in. Meanwhile trying to get gas for genny was nuts. Tons of road closers, some were open but then closed on way back. What should have taken 25min was well over an hr. Wind still roaring. Couple shingles ripped off.

You are getting nailed.  400K customers out in the state.  Assuming each customer is, say 2 1/2 people that would mean 1 million.  The entire population of the state is 1.37million.  That is nuts for a storm that was 100% liquid.
