Mt Washington reported 4 inches this morning. It's a miserable rain snow mix in Bretton Woods. Temps stuck in the upper 30s. Happy beginning of summer!

Next 10 days have lots of rain chances and then 50s for highs- right through memorial day weekend

They’re already out here

And as of yesterday, the hatch has occurred. Bring on the black fly swarms

Temp has already dropped 21 degrees off the high today. 58 to 37. And dropping...

Guess that means the hatch will happen shortly.

I had my first humming bird today at my feeder. Showed up yesterday, but I only got my feeder out today

Omg, if this wind would go away, today would have been perfect. Definitely dry, cold season airmass. Temp got up to 58 but it's chilly. Low temp overnight is 30-31 degrees. I'm super excited for tomorrow through Wednesday! I assume the black flies should be hatching shortly, but no swarms yet, so yay for that!

Been 3-4 days stuck at 48 degrees. Completely murky with intervals of rain or heavier showers. 

Usually take the dog for walkies after work but haven't been able to. The dog is getting pissed. Maybe I can get him a walkie late this afternoon or evening?

21.6° too. Hopefully we’re done with the well below freezing temps after this morning.

15 degrees. Sping is awesome

Around 8 inches of cement. Did a number on my back and the snowblower. Complete over achiever here. Forecast had 3-5 mixing with sleet and zr. Glades are open at Bretton Woods. Fantastic end of season ski day

Wow. How does Diane have that much less? Granted she posted 2 hours ago.

It was ripping. I peeked out at 5am and it was snowing at least 2 inch per hour. I estimated off of my deck railing. There could have been 4 inches at that point and then if snowed at that intensity for another hour or 2...

It was probably one of the heaviest snowfall rates of the entire season.

Now we are just off an on light snow

3 inches and counting

Truth be told, I'd rather be tracking the 70 degree temps, than be under a winter storm watch. I've shifted from cold season into warm season mode. 

The real heavy stuff is to the south and east if Bretton Woods. Bartlett to Conway have 4 inches and counting. Maybe half inch here. We get heavy bursts of snow but they are short-lived and then it goes back to light snow

Do you a fall-out shelter for your chickens?

10F and windy up here at Mtn Ops… 1F at top of the lifts.  Wind chill -20.

Hard pass.

My brain switches so easily into spring mode, that I absolutely abhor these normal swings back to winter. Once we hit 50 degrees, I never want to go backwards. 

Mud season in full force here...the dog is muddy and wet. I had to pull a dukes of hazard maneuver to get into my driveway. Perfect ice fishing weather. Some ding ding thought they were going to drive their pick-up onto the ice to pull out their Bob house. Front tires went right through the ice. He was lucky he was able to reverse out of his dumb idea. Got my first sunburn of the season yesterday out on the ice. Bonus- got to watch a pair of bald eagles making a nest. Caught a few rainbows. Now I have the the window open in my bedroom. Super windy, though. Scattered power outages with branches and a few trees down

It occurs pretty similarly from upstate NY through VT, NH and ME.  I think VT just often gets the headlines due to the large number of dirt roads over large areas... maybe?  I dunno, maybe it's just that it's close to more population so we hear about it more than the rural ADK, western ME, N.NH areas?

The best mud-season content though usually comes out of VT for sure.

Had the car thermometer hit 70. Got up at 430am to go ice fishing. Started the day at around 30 degrees. Around 65 degrees when we packed up and headed out. First sunburn of the season courtesy of the sun, and then the reflection off the ice

We lost a lot of snow today. 55 degrees felt amazing! I want more

Somebody went for a joy ride in a truck down a snowmobile trail and put themselves in Mt Deception Creek, right at the bottom of my street. Got to watch some live entertainment as they brought 2 flat beds down the snowmobile trail to try to pull the truck out of the creek. I'm gonna go take a look at the scene during daylight and see if I can tell what happened 

Rain changed to snow around 745pm. I had dinner in North Conway and it was 43-44 degrees. Left around 7pm and got back to Bretton Woods around 745pm. It was 37 degrees at the Highland Center when I got through the Notch back into BW. Not long after, the temp dropped 1 more degree to 36 and then the rain flipped over to snow. My temp sensor says 34 degrees now.
