alex Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Left Bretton Woods with moderate to heavy snow - another case of "hours of snow and nothing to show for it!" although it was starting to stick. Looks like typical upslope - just some flurries in Twin Mountain, back to moderate snow around Cannon and maybe halfway between there and the Basin in Franconia Notch, and broken clouds past Lincoln. Will be back tonight! Only doing day trips into Boston a couple of times a week most of November... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Had a brief frozen precip shower as I was getting in the car to go to work this morning. Sleety rain type of stuff. The car thermo read 34F. The hills on the far side of Berlin Pond were white for the top third. It's been a pretty wintry stretch for the last week. Let's hope this isn't the peak of the season!

I remember doing a lot of skiing in 2005 and 2006 when I was at UVM, even skiing the glades one of those years in October. I was also surprised to find that Mansfield averages 10.7" in the month of October...I had it in my mind that it was more like 4-6" for some reason. Look at the second half of both October 2005 and October 2006. Wow at how wet these periods were. For comparison, this October has had only 3.93" of precipitation (vast majority has fallen since the 19th when the pattern turned wetter) and the COOP is showing 9.7" of total snowfall vs the 20" which is my best effort at measuring the various events through hiking or snowcat rides but it has not been measured at my normal location due to accessibility. The COOP did miss the last event on Friday with no snowfall data, and also the first event went in as 8" when the snow depth went from 0" to 10-11". It just highlights the "take with a grain of salt" of the data but it is something to work with. MWN averages 14.9" so that's not really that different.

Let's hope this isn't the peak of the season! Yeah had to brush off or I should say scrape off the work trucks up here at the mountain. They had like a half inch of snow grains mixed with what must've been freezing drizzle or something. That was some very firm and crunchy stuff. Just some light snow grains falling up here now.

adk Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Thursday Night/ Friday AM is looking a little more interesting for the North Country. Starting to look like a weak low could develop along the inbound cold front and wrap some moisture into the region through the AM. Sort of looks like a standard set-up for a quick 2-4" across the higher terrain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Temp was 17 at 7 AM, first time under 20 this season. Ice 3/8" on the washtub - about ready to dump and store it for winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moist airmass in wake of passing low + -8/10c 850 air and N/NW winds has the potential to set off snow showers across higher terrain (above 2500ft). Below that, for most, agree in total.
