We couldn't reach them at 18z, but the METAR had a 6 inch snow depth. Based on their previous report we estimated 4.4" additional snow to reach that 6" depth. It could be 5.5" depth rounded up, so maybe you could take that down to 3.9", but it's still a snowfall of 5.5" plus whatever fell after 18z.

My cousin lives in MHT and said another 2-3" last night after 18z. Hes a few miles north of the airport with a little more elevation but said atleast 8" otg

1.0" new snow in North Salem NH overnight. 6.0" event total. Very light snow and 33F at the moment.

Not bad. I'm not home so I've been guessing 5-6" in Windham off my nest cams

Hope CMP has called in the calvary.

I do wonder if the warm tongue aloft creates alot of rimed flakes atleast Wed night. Hopefully helps mitigate some of the tree accumulation. Somewhere will have issues though eventually.

A little more wiggle room still here having a little more latitude helps, But the 12z NAM did go a couple tics east of the 06z run it looked like.

 

Nam is pretty much a swfe with a deep 700 low tracking up the St. Lawrence. Type of setup where it could be snowing at PSM, while it's  sleeting into the Central Greens for a time. Regardless, not getting big totals in NE with that ML track

Thunder reported at Lempster NH around 8pm from a reliable observer I know.
This matches a back end weenie +SN band on radar the moved thru in the last 90 min.
This is the 3rd time he has had thundersnow this winter, the other two were the two strong cold front snow squalls days, the most recent on 3/20!

Not so bad a winter after all, right CoastalWx?

He might be 12-18 beers deep after seeing the pics from Center Harbor. 

Despite the 34F at MHT, the tree tops start glazing between exit 4 and 5 on 93. Temps been slowly tickling back down over the past hour

Steady ZR after 1-1.5" of snow/sleet, but a steady rise up in temp since it started raining.

Sleet line looks closer to nam there.

Yeah up to around MHT now. Paint peeling here after an inch or so.

I don’t think anyone S of NH is seeing accumulating snow. 

Yeah by 12z Sat the 850 0C line is along the MA VT/NH borders on the euro. Maybe some brief snow to start, but it'll be pelting pretty fast.

Hopefully take down a few white pines there!

Taking down a few around here. Lost power for the 2nd time this month from CAA Phil

There was a a pretty good warm up a week before it as well. These are CON’s records.

Yeah that stretch around the 20th was wild. MHT popped an 85. That snow event leading into the 1st was actually ptetty solid, 11" at the airport.

what were March 2012 temp departures?

Atleast locally to me (MHT) we actually started March 2012 chilly and had a snow event leading into the 1st. It was the middle of the month that went wild into the 70/80s. This one has been more consistently mild with less high end stuff. Pretty sure MHT was around +8.5 in 2012, and around +8 mtd this year. We'll see how the back half ends up but with climo warming we will definitely need some 70s to keep pace.

Going to be some very early ice outs on lakes and ponds here, Probably many records will fall for the earliest ice outs.

Yeah ponds are going out down here. Winni is a lock for a record early ice out, aside from the couple of times it never iced in.

NWS Max wind gust forecast: 39 mph LOL

 

ASH obs always seem like a pit, but I think MHT will G50+. Good mixing after the front, one time we can actually gust 

It's hard to judge springs off just temps too. Before full leaf out we can still pull some better rad nights. In SNH, we could pull 70/34 on May 1 and it's solidly BN, but real nice during the day. Have to use a combo of temps and precip to get the full picture 

Won't be any pretty 2mt temp maps this gfs run. Pretty comical how different it is

The winter grade will go up if we get 70s in March.

Let's get the bass fishing season going early this year. Still a little worried we revert in mid March to something colder but we'll see what happens 

1.8" overnight 

1.3" from the heavy band that went through. Steady light snow behind it

Glad you posted that....my 1.5" measurement was an anomaly relative to surrounding areas, and this validates my ob, as I am right in that narrow corridor.

That is exactly what it is...the narrow corridor between the dry air and the maritime influence that saw some accumulation.

 

 

I had just over 1" here too before it started compressing. There was a little more in Salem when I was there this morning. 

Non-hrrr 12z stuff generally looking more paltry

NAM shows maybe .15-.2 for up here.  That could be 2-4"   I'm eager to see what other meso guidance gives later today and overnight.

Could be a little enhanced area across CNE, especially across SW ME 

~1" here just north of the MA/NH border

The fronto band is slipping SE now. The CAA on the northern edge is making gains. 

Looks like it's trying to crawl up through orh/495 to some degree  now too. Probably intensifies there and slowly slips SE. 

Been snowing here better than radar suggests. ~3/4" so far. Honestly more than I was expecting when I went to bed.

You can start to see the back edge pushing east on OKX, but it may tighten up the northern fringe fronto initially. 
 

Northern edge even on BOX seems to be getting a little boost too. Probably won't last very long but it's been moderate here at times the past half hour.
