#NoPoles

I think it flipped to snow here around 3pm? Maybe it was 2pm, Alex will fire me if I'm wrong It pretty much went right into heavy snow, and roads got bad fast. When I left work at 530pm I had a bit of trouble getting out of the parking lot. My travel lane on 302 was somewhat plowed so lucky me. But I couldnt see more than 25feet in front of me, and when the wind gusted it was almost completely whiteout. It was the heaviest snow I have ever driven in. Not sure what getting out of the parking lot where I live is going to be like in the morning. The parking lot drops down off of 302, so I have to wait for a big opening in traffic and punch the gas to get through the plow pile and out into the road. Fun times.

All rain where I live in NNH, some mangled pellets every now and then...def not getting the 8-18inches I keep seeing in the AFD

The Mt Washington auto road sensors show the warm tongue quite dramatically. Below freezing up to 4000feet where it jumps into the 40s! The Summit is still above freezing as well.

2 inches of snow and then it was a sleet party off and on all day...then it was rain and sleet. At one point driving home from work it starting pouring sleet and I had my high beams on and it looked like diamonds...never experienced that before. No Idea what this next wave will bring.

And we Ping

And we ping

Well the last time I looked at the models for NNE, wave 1 was the warm one and wave 2 was the cold and snow. That was maybe 2 days ago. PF had posted a radar simulation of the long duration event. But what's really taking place is the opposite. Interesting...

Hi! Hope things are improving for you guys. My weather app is telling me to expect the kitchen sink...it will be nice to freshen up the pack and landscape.

That was my fav place to go eat when I was at Lyndon State. Now that I live back in that area I should go in for a bite to eat

Didnt even stop in to say hi...and you call yourself a weenie!

Alex's weather station with the sneaky below 0 reading this morning. Been seeing the NWS graphics showing ridging and above normal temps for the eastern half of the country. Me thinks that indicates a boundary will set up somewhere and create overrunning snows, and be the focal point for ripples of energy. Just not sure where that boundary will set up.

No way! Not all years are going to have snow totals that knock your socks off. This is my first winter in NNE, but I know from being in the NNE thread a lot in the past, other years have been better. there hasn't been anything yo write home about, yet, this year. The pattern seems locked in, so I guess we just enjoy what we have, and maybe next winter will be better.

So, where ya staying? I have a great rental company I can recommend;)

Fook yeah, let's get onto that!

My hunch is, at least where I am located, the warm air that easily flows up the CT River Valley, spreads out in tendrils of warmth directed by the terrain. I live in an area that provides no protection from warm air funneling north up the valley, but on the flipside, with all the higher terrain surrounding me, the cold air takes a while to work its way back in. It is actually quite flat and open where I am, and the terrain narrows in as you east on 302 toward Alex, the ski area, and crawford notch. It is quite fascinating, but yet Frustrating when Alex texts me about these huge wonderful dendrites and aggregates parachuting down, and all I open my door to is rain. We had a burst of upslope last night around 3am. I was driving back to my place from further East on 302 and probably about 200 yards east from my driveway, the intensity dropped off and the flake style changed. Usually the that threshold is a bit further east on 302. There is a noticeable and abrupt point where you gain elevation driving east on 302 from the intersection with RT3. Then it plateaus out but the rt 302 corridor narrows a bit. It is a pretty noticeable a plateau until you enter Crawford Notch, and then bam, you just lose elevation abruptly. So fascinating up here. I have decided the only thing left to do is to set up camp on Alex's property so I can be in the Upslope Zone.

This my first winter here, but upslope has been really hard to manifest here...maybe the flow is all wrong...Alex and I were talking about what summer is like up here. I'm excited to go through all my 1st seasons up here.

I think 200feet or 250feet? But also I could be way wrong. Alex is better with at stuff

Just to add to the dynamics of this system, I need to report that I am rain and 4mi down the road Alex is getting snow

Holy crap, I'm so sorry, prayers and healing energy for you and your husband. Please keep in touch!

My poor weather app has no idea what the heck is going on. It has snow icons for tonigh/tomorrow, but the text reads: rain with snow likely

Gorgeous day in The Woods, today. Smells like spring, temps pushing 40. Great weather conditions to pump gas in. Probably go buy a nice sexy toaster and jump off Upper Ammonoosuc Falls

A skier at Cannon needed to be evac-ed by helicopter to Dartmouth... And I've seen so many ambulances respond to Bretton Woods this season.. Seems to be a tough season this year

Oh vey, current model trends no bueno! This season has def been frustrating!

I feel like I should ease into NNE Climate...not ready for long cold stretches, or intense cold
