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.

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

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.

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.

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....

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.

Shit. What is the highest it can come up before it gets into the cabins?

Alex, is that the river or standing water because the ground is frozen? I guess a big evacuation going on in Campton. I hope the latter

It's getting quiet in here. Maybe many don't have power. Up to 212k in Mass and going up fast

Same here. It's eerie calm after earlier this morning. Why? 57F so no cold air at the surface for winds to ride over.

57.3F Power back on. Winds have become very light for some reason although we are having R+. When was the last time BOS gusted to 68mph?

54.2F Light rain Max gust 42mph on Davis No power for the 40 homes on our hill. Bought a Jackery solar system for green power. So far so good. Refrig, computer, 6 lights TV on the system.

Wow. Euro now forecasting 4" of rain for Monday. A Flood Warning has already been issued for the Pemi. Wonder if a wind advisory is coming too? Unlike the last storm where CAD ruled the high winds should reach the surface.

The big difference up here will be wind. We never got into the warm sector and it stayed cold. Winds were almost calm. We will roar with this one. My house on the hill with a SE to SW exposure to the horizen will rock. Bought a Jackery for quiet green power as we are bound to lose electric.

34.3F Flipping to snow as it looks to be coming to an end. Good call in that. Highest wind gust during storm was 11mph but expected that. Highest temp 40.2F. 50% of ground is still covered with snow except on my south open field which is less

I happen to see this about warming temperatures over the past 50 years. Since I'm 67 it sure seems true. How accurate do you think this is? 5F is a huge amount for New England https://www.wwlp.com/weather/weather-news/winters-warming-50-year-trend-of-rising-winter-temperatures/?fbclid=IwAR2lSjQkxm2hkIAHldvhEQVEEjVWNWpWWG0K9ikcnj4k0jImISjXYpbaXVs

37F Vis 1/8. Rain just started. I would not mind a few hours of 55F but we will never even make 40F. Will any of our 4" of snowcover remain? Probably. Will we have a brief flip tomorrow AM? Maybe

Congrats PF. Nail biter yet again for me. Friends just arrived here from Boston and were amazed how sharp the snow on the ground line is. Still a winter wonderland but just climbing above 32F which is taking the snow off trees for the first time since the storm. Took the drone up this morning. Hills are white.

I ended up with 7.5" from the storm but then light snow the past couple of hours added .5" This brings my seasonal total to 16"

3pm Light snow. Vis about 1.5 miles 32.3F 1/4" new past half hour Snow settled 1" but the trees are still coated and will remain so for the next couple of days

31.3F Very light snow 7.25" Neighbor at 1500 feet 9" Low temp last night during storm 29.7F Most of night was 30 to 31.5F
