33.8F Light snow mixed with rain. Vis 3 miles .22" rain so far. Precip will have to come down much harder to stick.

34.1F Transition to snow is almost complete. Up to .17" wasted in liquid. Temperature needs to be falling faster. NWS is going to bust too high in the 8-12" for my area. So far no wind either

35.0/33 .10" rain so far. Mix of rain and snow. Keeps going back and forth

36.2F Light rain with catpaws. Temp slowly falling.

37.4F Sprinkles. Looking at ridgeline it is snowing above 2000 feet

Another east tick in Central NH. Plymouth NH has gone from 1.97" to .43" in past two NAM runs. Unless something changes this is becoming a near miss for me. Walking up to the cliff. Maybe will jump later this evening.

East ticks continue. I have seen this movie many times before. It pounds in Eastern NH while the band makes very little headway west. Maybe 12Z suite will reverse the trend.

18Z NAM cuts me (Plymouth NH) down to 1.20 from 1.94 at 12Z. It doesn't matter to most, either your in the heavy qpf or not but the steep gradient seems to be wavering right through my area with each model run. Will make a big difference with marginal temperatures during the first part of the event. Wish it was either a hit or a miss.

Just got home from Franconia Notch flying my drone. Great model trends today (for me). At my elevation I should be snow from the get go. A 32.5F mauling can cause so much tree and power outages. Wood stove and genny and I should be fine. Setup the phone if we loose internet. As long as Euro doesn't do anything funky all systems go for a fun first storm.

On that date I was working at Weather Services in Bedford. We had to call town highway departments with manual weather forecasts. It was mid evening in Bedford. Heavy rain. I got off work and headed west. I hit the snow line just west of town. Within 1 mile went from heavy rain to heavy snow. The line was stationary and I drove my car back and forth through it. Amazing difference in short distances. Drove back home to Newton in heavy rain. Woke up next morning to a foot. Great evening!

They certainly are. I was worried yesterday with the east trend that NH would be left mostly out but 12Z shows everything coming back west. As long as the Euro does it is game on. Lower elevations especially in my area may briefly start as rain. This will be a heavy wet snow at first with potential for power outages with strong NE winds. As low departs the snow will become drier with more blowing and drifting. It will be interesting to see how you and Alex do with the synoptic part but don't fret. Some of the heaviest snow comes in your area as low is departing and upslope begins. Say good bye to bare ground. You will see it again come April

Whites on Sunday will have snow showers and squalls, temperatures in the 20's at lower elevations with strong NW winds. Blowing and drifting snow

I have not paid attention to today's rain and snow showers. I see the snow is right over Phin's head in the cam. Our house cleaner is coming and we want to be out of the house so might take the drone up to Franconia Notch and fly up to "The Watcher" if it is not precipitating. Still don't have a good feeling about tomorrow's storm. Wish the models would back it west at least 50 miles. Today's trends will be key.

Trend is your friend. That general trend taking everything the past 2 or 3 days has been east. I just don't have a good feeling on this one for us up here. They NH hype machine starts on the 6pm news tonight.

Hum, don't like the look of this storm. Mid to even upper 30's Saturday AM dropping to 32/33F for much of the storm. Another birch bender like 2 years ago. Did a lot of tree damage and power problems at my 1100 foot level. Could this be a repeat? We can start locking in a path after the 12Z Euro. Time to get gas for the genny

Nice trend for you guys down south. Whiff up here.

18Z GFS Nada, goes SE 18Z Euro Way west, mostly rain Well that narrows it right down Goodnight

Yesterday's Euro was way west with rain. Today's Euro was 30" of snow. 18Z GFS is a total miss. I'm glad I'm not an on air Met trying to narrow this down. Just sitting back and watching. Quick snow shower left a coating of snow a bit earlier

34.5F Light snow vis 2-3 miles Nice Euro run. This is how NNE gets it done. 975mb low coming north 2-3 feet for most. Lock it in! (of course just like yesterday's Euro cutter track this will probably not happen as shown but we know there will be a storm and someone will jack in New England) nice to have something to track. Here is Kuchera clown map. Subtract 1" or so from today's nonsense.

NH, Maine and most of VT still in the game with 12Z Euro 977mb elbow of Cape perfect

12Z GFS leaves NNE high and dry for weekend.

Be nice or I am going to send you back to your SNE cage.... I have not looked at models since yesterday. Then it looked like the Euro was way west with another cutter. Now we could be too far west according to the GFS. Trend is east. This is why I don't invest too much time dissect each model run days out.

Euro now on board with something potentially big this weekend. Cutter or coastal? Finally something to track. Glad we got a soaker yesterday before the ground froze. Trees needed that for an early spring start.

Yep, it was Eyewall. I had not skimmed the thread and was having a brain freeze. He was so upset moving up here and took him so long to see some vicious snow squalls. His second winter was much better. He took great pictures with his drone

Who was the poster that moved to Vermont several years back and had a drone like me. We promised him so much snow and that year was a big snow drought. I think everything kept going south?
