Hey, just for fun (or at least for the fun of those of us who love to track weather), share what the storm is doing where you are, throughout the day.

Sunapee, NH 43n23,72w05 - snowing very hard,visibility poor,2-3inches so far :D

[P-HUG]

Rainy sleet in Manch, only started about 90 minutes ago, nothing on ground

[BerkshiresBoarder]

moderate/heavy wet snow. Stiff east winds, damp kind of cold out. Maybe an inch so far, sticking to everything though and looks like more.

:skicool: :D :chicken: :)

Loon powder day tommorrow! hopefully more than predicted.

[davidhowland14]

seen one or two flakes here on the cape, but the flooding rain hasn't started yet.

[boardman]

minor frozen precip (sleet) fell briefly here in Ayer, MA, but now only very light rain.

[Jolly J]

Sunny, very few clouds.

[JBHeadParrot]

Wildcat is expecting 6-12"

POWPOW pleasure to be had tomorrow!

Anyways...... Precip has paused here in Sunapee for a short spell but looking at intellicast radar map, it has now pushed us deep into the wretched green zone with thick patches of yellow and orange! Nooooooooo! :(:eek: It must stay cold! It must stay cold! It must stay cold!

I will refrain from any more updates so as to NOT jinx the frozen precip potentials.

Glad to see others are sharing my enthusiasm (although, I'm itching to get the garden started...).

At 1pm, it is big, fat flakes coming down a with a good breeze.

A quick call to Smugglers revealed the following, "Snowin' like a sum' *****!" ( I get my snow reports from the lifties - less spin.). The accumulation was hard to tell due to wind.

I could be wrong on the location of Mt. Washinton on this map (thanks for posting!)(perhaps someone else could confirm) but it appears the snow/rain line is just about in N. Conway. Obviously, the weather on Washington will be a bit different in Conway but it will likely impact the moisture content.

You're correct that the snow/rain line is essentially in N Conway... Mt Wash is almost dead on the corner of that perfectly horizontal county line(E-W) as it jogs towards the south.

It started to snow here in Meredith NH around 9AM its been dumping the whole time with about 2-3" on the ground now at 1:50PM.

[boardman]

NWS Hourly Reports from the summit indicates SNOW (not "light" snow, as before) for the last two hourly observations (10 am & 11 am).

[2plankerider]

nuthin' but snow in central VT... 2-3 of Sierra Cement, but 2-3 so far nonetheless, 8+ in 24hrs @ the bush

[boardman]

Just changed over to pretty heavy snow (probably 1 - 1.5"/hr) here in Ayer, MA!

[rockhead]

pouring like a MoFo here in lil rhodie... buckets. occasional rumble of thunder, but skies are lightening up a wee bit.

not that that does anything for anyone here!

[djspookman]

its snow/ rain/ sleet/ snow/ sleet/ snow here in Walpole, NH. 2-3" of fresh cement on the ground!

Just got off the phone with Scott at IME in North Conway - he said it's "snowing like a sonofabatch" there in the Valley. Jesse at EMS confirmed this as well.

Though still a few days away, so not conclusive, Henry Margusity on accuweather.com thinks someone (exactly who depends on the storm's track) will likely get 2 FEET from Sunday's predicted nor'easter . . . <gulp>

[washington6288]

Mount Washington has been coding sn for the past five hours. Its rare for them to record just plain snow. They typically only code -sn or light snow. So, significant, I guess.

Also, 2.7" of new as of 2pm. Another good sign because the summit doesn't accumulate snow that well.

[PWDR8S]

Just in from the NH WMUR Channel 9 TV news.... so far...

Looks like Cardigan is the winner so far with 8.5" in Alexandria.
We've got 5-6" here in Sunapee
N. Conway was around 5"

All pretty dense damp snow.... make a great base with this stuff!

Wildcat just declared they'll stay open another week!
Mt. Sunapee is deciding on extending their season tomorrow. I hope they do! :D

[DNH]

jay diary: snowing since 9am, heavy since noon. upwards of 16" by tomorrow. over 54" so far this week. another storm coming this sunday. this hippy bus tank stays empty.

[lacman]

Just got back to Jackson from an afternoon double whammy GOS and Sherbie. Currently there's 7" of new snow, not terribly dense but certainly not champagne powder either. It has kind of lightened up a bit fo rthe time being.

GOS was good...our tracks at the bottom were almost covered by the time we got down again. About 4" had fallen on the trail at that point. Then skinning the sherbie the snow seemed to pick up in intensity. I'd say about 8" was on the porch, maybe a little less at the bottom. Very few people were up there this afternoon. There's some sweet powder covered bumps along the trail to launch yourself off of:D

Sorry no photos... I left the camera in the car.

[chickwhorips]

Just go this email from a friend up there:

Unbelievable snow right now…10" and still snowing like crazy.

[boardman]

Killington is reporting they got 18" from this storm! The backcountry trail conditions page on the MWO site lists 14" at Highland Center Lodge, 8.5" at Cardigan. No total for Tuck's yet, and the Rangers hadn't posted today's report when last I looked. Anybody hearing other totals from other areas?

edited to add: the avy report is up, and it's High/Considerable, as expected. 9" on the summit (!) and 11.5" at Hermit Lake. WOW. I'll be trudging up there this evening -- glad I got some powder tails for my slowshoes!

[footlong]

Morning update from Johnson - about 4" and light snow continues:

Saturday would be an awesome day to sit with a video camera at the base of the bowl to catch footage of the snow that will be moving. Alas, not to be my fate.... :)

Can't wait to see what Sun/Mon brings.

Good luck, enjoy and be safe to all who go this weekend

Thanks to all who have contributed to this thread
