Jan. 6 snow thread

[Waumbek]

Franconia @ 1200' has about an inch of new snow so far although the warmer "freezing rain/ice belt" may push up here mid-day. Then it is predicted to sag south again, and we go back to snow this afternoon and tonight.

What are the VFTT Weathermen saying about this one?

oops...this should be dated Jan. 7 but apparently I cannot edit the thread title, correct?

Another data point: barely an inch in Thornton at 700 feet.

Franconia @ 1200' has about an inch of new snow so far . . .

Here’s yet another data point!

Just over the hill (Mt. Agassiz ) from you in Bethlehem at 9:00 AM, it has stopped snowing, and we also have maybe an inch of new snow.

About an inch of snow here in Tamworth, now lighting snowing/misting. Meanwhile, my deck isn't shoveled and MichaelJ is nowhere to be seen.

2-3" in Peterborough and snowing lightly. Another day off from school for the kids!

 

[peakbagger]

its been bouncing between sleet and snow up at the Gorham/Randolph line for most of the morning, maybe a 1/2" at 9:30 AM

 

[Jason Berard]

1" new snow this am, and now mixed precip....I hope it does switch back to snow later....

 

[Paradox]

seems to be 1-2" here in Plymouth. Very heavy and slippery.

 

[Mohamed Ellozy]

At 1:30 went to the dumpster in Thornton (700 feet), still only a bit more than an inch of snow plus sleet.

 

[grouseking]

Sleet and freezing rain after 1-2 inches of snow earlier. This will prob continue till it flips over to snow a few hours before its done. Hopefully the mtns do well on the backside, cause I believe they are also getting sleet. Too bad, I hate sleet.

The back edge is heading through my area shortly. I am very thankful that this was mainly a snow/sleet event and not the 1/2" of freezing rain that was forecast.

For what it's worth, it's been mainly a rain/freezing rain event here in Littleton. We had maybe two inches of snow overnight and early this morning, but there's been no accumulation at all since 9 a.m. The car had a nice coating of ice at noon and the freezing precipitation continues to fall as I type this at 4 p.m. So much for the 6-10 inches of snow we were supposed to receive.

Yes, this storm, so far, is a giant waste of moisutre. The mountains will prob get some relatively decent wrap-around snow at the end, and then upslope, so there is hope for some fresh stuff up there. Other than that, this storm has been very dissapointing.

I have heard that there have been some power outages, in areas badly hit by the ice storm last month though. Hopefully everything will be ok down there.

Back to snow

Its beautiful outside. Give me an inch. Thats all I need, because I know it will snow again, perhaps as early as Saturday.

I still believe the mountains will do quite well with the backlash and upslope from this.

6" so far

Cannon reports 7-8" of snow in the last 24 hours.

Franconia @ 1200 has 6"--2 inches of snow yesterday morning, followed by a layer of sleet/ice in the afternoon, then another 4" of snow overnight.
Snow showers this morning are predicted to give us another 1-4" snow before it winds down at noon. This is as predicted: 6-10" total storm accumulation.

 

[Mattl]

Yeah it certainly was a messy storm, but the backside of the storm was kind to Lebanon northward with 2-6 inches last night. Decent upslope/upper level low/lake effect will all play a part today to add to snow totals in the mountains where I think a good 2-4 or 3-6 will fall by tomorrow. The extended forecast looks snowy and very cold.

"A giant waste of moisture"... that's great! Have to remember that one. We had 1"+ of snow, ice, and glop (technical term) during the day yesterday and another 1" of frosting this AM. Good base for hopefully a few more inches on Saturday. I want to get out the XC skis and not drive a long way! ...but oh yeah, the fallen trees have still not yet melted.

 

[rocket21]

We picked up about 2" of granular yesterday up in the northern Lakes Region, perhaps an inch or so of powder last night into this morning, and at this time it's currently snowing right now at the moment.

 

[DrewKnight]

Waterville Valley saw about 1" of snow followed by non-accumulating mixed precip through the day yesterday. Picked up about 2" of fairly dense snow overnight last night.

I would have called the storm total at 1500 feet to be about 3", maybe 4". WV Resort is calling it 6" but may have been using a Killington ruler, because with the weird mid-level temps yesterday, I am not sure elevation helped that much.

 

[grouseking]

Interesting stuff for today, there are lake enhanced/affect snow squalls across lots of New England today. That is adding to the totals from the storm last night, though it isn't part of the storm. Nice to see fluffy flakes comin down. We saw about 4-5 inches total in Leb from yesterday's storm.
