they keep flip flopping up here as to weather it will be all snow or some rain mixed in. A little rain wont hurt it will chase the weak home and leave the good stuff for us.

NOAA has been reporting 3-5 tonight, and another 3-5 on Sunday in Franconia Notch. Yeay Cannon!!

Been snowing since around noon. 34*F and the ground is white again!

 

[KingM]

It's 30° and light snow in the MRV. This doesn't look like a big storm, but it should drop a few more inches.

 

[jaywbigred]

30 degrees and dropping here at Stratton. prob 3 inches fell since about 2 pm, and the expect another 5 or so overnight, I believe.

Snowing at a decent clip here in Portland, ME at 7:20 pm.

There was a pretty intense snow squall when I rolled into Blue mountain this morning at 7:20AM..but it was such heavy wet snow that it made everything ski much slower...now it's sunny and windier than a mo-fo..maybe 60mph gusts this afternoon...wowser..but awesome snowmaking temperatures tonight..

 

[billski]

we had one of those burst things today. 10am - sunglasses required. 12noon - pouring rain. 1pm - burst of snow, started like an explosion - wind was so strong it sounded like a jet aircraft, the snow looked like it was pouring from the sky. At ground, it would swirl straight back up. I usually only see it that wild at mountain tops. Then the thunder clapped, kaBOOM. 330PM - blue skies and sunny, all the snow melted from the trees. 4pm - clouding, radar shows another snowburst coming.
My wife said "I'm glad everyone's off the road", I said, "That's cool, wish I was out there!"

 

[Zand]

Off and on snow squalls here all day...about 2" of pretty wet snow. Over the last hour the wind has really picked up and the temp has gone down to about 25.

 

[Greg]

Serious squall here right now. Full on white-out with probably <1/8 mile visibility. Temperature is falling and the wind is screaming out of the NNW. Crazy weather today.

 

[Johnskiismore]

Funny, talked to a buddy in Franconia, NH a little while ago and they said the wind was howling, and alot of snow was coming down. No wind in Woodstock, NH, but the snow is still falling steadily! About six inches totla so far.

Please more for Cannon tomorrow!

 

[KingM]

I looked out at one point to see that moderate snow had suddenly changed to huge, zero-visibility snow, falling at a rate that I'd never seen before.

I watched, dumbfounded, then realized finally that a sudden wind was simply driving all the snow off the tree tops. It wasn't windy close to the ground, so I hadn't realized. I was a little disappointed.
