08-09 was such an underrated winter down here. It made a top 10 at the local COOP since 1960. Jan had a sneaky good snowpack of 18-24" and it was meaty. I know it's not huge compared to up north...but it was a really fun winter down here. Jan was very cold with constant snow OTG.

There were no thaws in January that year. I think the highest temp at ORH was 37 or 38. That's not very easy to do for an entire month...at least at our latitude. The month was like -6 departure and of course all sorts of snow events. Obviously Feb 2015 makes that look like child's play but still a very strong winter month. That winter also had the historic ice storm for my area so it got bonus points that do not show up in the temp and snow data.

It was in that 2008-09 winter when we were too raucous and were asked to move fro the main area of JJ Foleys when Burbank wing 1-3/2-4 and we all got worked up.  Verification I believe was 8. 3/2/09.

Yeah. lol. Just constant boos when that map came up.

Happy New Year Northern New Englanders...

 

27.5"  snow for December.  Not bad at all even considering only 7.5" from the big storm that just grazed us.  

Amazing that 50 miles to my south there is bare ground showing.  Solid snow cover all month.  Tuesday looks like its just going to glaciate the pack even more.  Snowmobilers are finally getting some use out of their sleds after last winters disaster. 

Newfound Lake is 3/4 open.  The southern bay is frozen and bobhouses going out and snowmobilers are out on the ice today.  I can't see that the ice is very thick.  We had the one cold blast but not a lot of the cold.  The ice was thin and now is covered with that 7" of snow.  So there is no way to tell what is just skim ice.  Accidents waiting to happen on NH big lakes right now....  Probably late week cold snap will help thicken and expand ice cover.
