Off topic, but interested in buying a property in Thornton, NH. Anyone have any input on that area as far as how they feel about it and it’s proximity to the Whites and also snowfall and weather in general? 

Just noticed this post now. 

I've had a cabin in Thornton for 15 years now. I love it up there. Not ideal for huge snow because it gets shadowed, but still averages in the upper 80-90". I chose my location based on proximity to my house in Lowell. I wanted a place I could get far enough north but within 90 minutes. You pay the NH real estate taxes which suck, but I suck it up for convenience. I also do a decent amount of skiing, so it's almost perfectly situated from many choices. I can get to WV, Loon, Cannon, Tenney within 30 mintes, and about 50 minutes to BW, not to mention our own little hill Campton Mountain less than a mile away where I taught my kids to ski. So it's also convenient to plenty of hikes. 

I also pay extra to be in a community with amenities like a rec center with pool, pond, gym etc.. Not for everyone, but it fit my family well. 

Let me know if you need any add'l info or to put you in touch with a real estate agent?

I'm going to put this here although it could easily go in this weekends storm thread

60-72 hrs lead issuing WSW region wide????

For a decent duration six inch plus event??

Maybe for the folks mid Atlantic and into the TN valley and  OHIO valley and south....esp in regards to icing 

Still 2 full days for changes..it does sound miserably cold regardless 

Have we not learned anything from early March 2001?

They changed the requirements when they updated the criteria, WSWs can be issued 72 hours in advance if concensus is high enough... Every model dropping a foot plus after an Extreme Cold Warning? Justified

Not sure where you’re getting “decent duration, 6”+ storm”

As it stands right now, basically the entire sub is in line for at least 10”, probably more and a long duration storm relative to climo

So what did I have here last night? House cat or bobcat?

No expert, but looks too big to be a house cat. I have seen a ton of bobcats down here over the past year, including a family that lives right next to my office building in a small area of woods

Had to do my weekly food shopping, so with this storm I decided to hit it by 630am. Parking lot was virtually empty. By the time I finished 30min later it was completely filled and the store was a madhouse.
