And there's always a premium to pay to have something built. It's all good! The nice thing is that you get to make the decisions. Also it didn't help that I wanted thick Western style logs, we had to get those from Idaho 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DavisStraight Posted November 26, 2020 Prices are so high now for construction, we had a 2800 sf home built in 1994 for $150,000, its all good quality, not log but top of the line windows, cedar siding, 2 X 6 walls. steel Ibeam, hardwood, quartz kitchen. I can't imagine what it would cost today to replicate it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhineasC Posted November 26, 2020 Wondering if this next round starts as snow here. 29 degrees. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dendrite Posted November 26, 2020 32.3/31. -RA, but started as a period of -ZR. For those traveling up here early watch out for slick spots. NHDOT sucks in the early season before the roads finally accumulate some salt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dendrite Posted November 26, 2020 Still 32.3° and pouring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tamarack Posted November 26, 2020 Light ZR at 7 AM with temp about 30 but very light accretion - cold layer must be thin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jculligan Posted November 26, 2020 The temp had nudged up to 33 when I went to bed last night and it's 34 now. No glazing here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
backedgeapproaching Posted November 26, 2020 45/43. Borderline muggy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jculligan Posted November 26, 2020 This is an incredibly shallow cold layer. 34F at my place (1500') but some of the thermometers down in the valley are still at 32F. Curious if there's any glazing going on down there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wxeyeNH Posted November 26, 2020 CAD rules. Finally hit freezing around 6am and now up to 34.4F. Just missing the heavy rain sliding off to the SE. Eyeballing around .55" so far Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex Posted November 26, 2020 We are basking in upper level warmth at 41. Happy Thanksgiving!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhineasC Posted November 26, 2020 Happy Turkey Day everyone. The deluge for early next week has backed off a little on the models. I am not seeing the crazy firehose totals anymore at least. Looks promising after that for a return to upslope snows and occasional impulses swinging through NNE. Also a possible coastal being hinted at for late next week. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wxeyeNH Posted November 26, 2020 38.1F Light to moderate rain. Vis 1/4 in fog or low clouds. About .70" so far with last batch coming through. Dark day up in these northern latitudes. Nice to have the wood stove cranked and turkey in the oven. Very cozy Happy T Day to all NNEnglanders... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mreaves Posted November 27, 2020 Pretty much rotted at 37°-38° here all day while the western side of the Greens has torched. 54° at DDH, 49° at RUT and 47° at BTV. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, definitely another white Thanksgiving for the books. Looking at the numbers, this one sets the occurrence at 10 out of 15 seasons, so the current average is 2/3 of the time (66.7%). In terms of percentage, it’s not much of shift from where it was (64.3%), so somewhere in the 60-70% range is probably a decent estimate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

powderfreak Posted November 27, 2020 Looks like we’ve got some orographic precip going now. Snow above 2,500ft but rain down here at 1,500ft. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jculligan Posted November 27, 2020 I'd rather be tracking a snowstorm, but Monday night could be exciting from a wind perspective. Euro is showing some impressive gusts, especially to the lee of the Green and White Mountains. It could be absolutely raging in the notches for a few hours. Tougher call in my area, as we will once again be dealing with in situ CAD...but being 1000' off the valley floor could help my immediate location.

powderfreak Posted November 28, 2020 Briefly flipped to wet snow at 1,500ft and almost 1" at 3,300ft. Its pretty marginal, seems to be flipping back and forth with intensity. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

powderfreak Posted November 28, 2020 A friend and fellow poster here @j24vt caught some shots of a snowy owl near the MVL airport yesterday. Today he just send me a cell shot of it back there sitting on the ASOS. He’s going back with the big lens, maybe he’ll share more later. Pretty cool to have a snowy owl chilling on the ASOS. What’s more NNE than that? Ha. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
