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.

its the river 

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

is that the driveway?

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

Dumping buckets.... no wind though.

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.

Probably a little stronger. 

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

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

7pm  Light snow   31.7F   2.5"

Temperature slowly fell this afternoon and leveled out at 31.7F after dark.  The grass has the 2.5" or so but as you can see the patio and railings have a bit less with temperatures 32.5 to 33.5 this afternoon.

I'm glad the precip has been so light.  I was kind of worried about a blue bomb with  near 1" liquid and me staying right at 32F or just a few tenths above

32.3F Light snow

Half an hour ago I took these screen grabs from friends here at Newfound Lake that have webcams. 600 foot elevation lake edge it is rain.  1500 foot elevation a mile away it's all snow and white.

Actually, it looks like it’s a bit of a mix of rain and snow

Mark,  I flew my drone with the Kestral attached.  Freezing line was around 2000 feet above sea level.
