ORH hasn’t had a freeze before November since 2020.

That’s kind of wild.

FROPA through here, some decent NW gusts.

That’s probably longer here . I recall a HFD marathon I ran in mid 2010’s and left here at about 5:00 AM and it was 28 degrees.  That’s always run 2nd weekend of Octorcher . Only Oct in last 15 I can remember a freeze that early here

Had you hit 32F or lower in 2011 before the Rocktober snowstorm?

I really don’t know . That was a hot month , so I would heavily lean no. That morning for the last 2-3 hours of the storm dropped into upper 20’s after 31. 5 paste all night . The last inch or two was powdery

I’ll say I’ve been fringed in a lot of SNE storms but that’s the only one I’m still jealous of.  We got 1.5” lol.  What a remarkable event.

Since moving here in 2005, far and away most favorite wx event. Only thing that will top it will be a direct strong cane strike up the CTRV or a TOR thru backyard

First time I saw thunder snow.   We were on a generator for 4 days.  Local DPW left a giant pile of mess at the end of my driveway because someone had never plowed snow before but i digress.

Wife and I had a new 4wd vehicle at the time were doing a weenie tour of damage that next day.  I did a  drive up Mt. Uncannonuc in Goffstown - it was 32" on the level settled depth at 1250' the next morning.  I know Dendy probably knows of the access road and trails   Not sure if there were any higher event totals.  21" settled depth in Bedford around 5 miles away but obv. lower.

I'm so bored I've been perusing the Octobomb and Sandy threads. Halcyon days those were.
