If anyone is interested and has spent time in White Mountains in NH, you should check out the weather overnight and early morning.  Fast moving shortwave ---SSE, and rather strong for this time of year.  You have to like snow:D

Yeah I read that Mt. Washington was expected to get 9 inches of snow from this thing.

Looks like they received 5.9 inches at top of Washington, but there could have been a touch more at some of the other high peaks but probably not based on the thermal profiles.  Some modeling was a touch too cold, just my two cents.  As everyone knows 1-2 degrees can make a huge difference.

Used to go up in the general area for the annual Stellafane amateur telescope making convention in Springfield, Vt. Took trip one year up Mount Washington in mid August. Nice enjoyable sunny day at the top. Basic sweatshirt weather with temp in maybe low 60s. Low clouds started to come in climbing the mountain then dropping on the other side. Then fog and since I was the driver for the group, I stated that I was not driving down the mountain in a fog. The ranger stood out in the road to block us as we got to the bottom and pulled up to exit past the gate. He had a kind of stern look on his face as he approached the car. He asked if we had a good time at the top and if we enjoyed ourselves. We were a little nervous and stated that we had. Then he gave us a little smile informing us that we had got down just in time... Whiteout conditions at the summit! I was thankful we left when we did. I'd take fog over snow coming down the mountain any day.
