05-Dec-09 ... SNOW
 

I am out of the area today in South Florida ..

Is that snow I see on the Overlook Web Cam ?

My grass is white!!!!!!
 

So yes it is snow!!!!!!!!!!!!! Think I heard we are to have maybe three inches? Where in FL are you? Do you know that it gets darker here an hour and 15 minutes BEFORE SOUTH FLORIDA?

Kids were jumping and spinning - happy to see the snow. The dog decided it was FRAP time (FRAP = Frantic Running And Playing)... It's all good.

Must be the end of global warming....

Nope...just the start of another NH winter! :)

and in NJ too
 

It's been snowing since about 3 pm today when the misty rain changed to large white flakes. At 5:30 the lawn and the sidewalks are all white. Probably will be gone by noon tomorrow as the temp. should be 45 then.

I'm absolutely giddy.... I love this stuff!

Thank You
 

We are in the Naples area for a nephew's wedding and will be back in NH mid week. Sort of sorry I missed the first snow.

Wednesday & Thursday forecast shows a snowy Meredith....could be about that time to remove the dock and boat....no fun slip-slid'n, lugg'n it up a snowy embankment....:eek:


Doesn't this thread seem to belong in the weather category?......lets get with the program here!........:rolleye1:

Sooooo jealous
 

We spent five fabulous months on Winni and are now back at our condo on North Hutchinson Island, Florida. I reallllly wish we could be up there for your first snow. None of the webcams show very much at night, so I will have to rely on the Weather Channel to see pictures. Yes, every day is sunny and warm down here, which is also fun, but we miss the lake sooooooo much.
And all the Christmas lights must be just gorgeous.:cool:

No love lost here. I have to get on the road at 5am tomorrow to get to work and have to drive in this stuff.

We've got a 1/4 inch in SE Rhode Island near the coast already. NB

Maybe an inch-plus here in Rochester. Just drove home from Dover and roads were untreated. A small pine tree in our yard is drooping already. Gotta love winter! :laugh:

Still coming down
 

There is about 3" in Laconia and it is still coming down. We hiked Gunstock this morning and they clearly are not ready for the season yet. There is a platform on the top of the mountain that has to be removed and picnic tables in the way of the lift run-outs. They have mowed the trails and removed brush. I am guessing that this snow will get them in gear and they will have the snow making in full force.

There is a prediction of another storm this coming Tuesday.

I think that I saw a sled with reindeer go by tonight. :D

Jetskier:cool:

Yeah, a bigger storm on Wed night though, I heard almost a foot.

6"
 

Six inches of light snow this morning up here on Turkey Hill in Wast Alton. Heading out for the 1st annual test of the snow removal equipment. The back blade and FEL on the tractor should take care of this so I don't plan to put the plow on the truck today.
The pellet stove is humming away.

Waterville Valley missed out on this storm, having received just a heavy dusting of about 1/2" fluffy snow.....not enough to get shoveled.....just broomed. Too bad.......those 100km xc trails don't work too good without real snow.

How's that Wednesday snow storm look'n?

6 inches here...
 

...on the M'Boro/Center Harbor line. WMUR says we won the inch war:D

The drive home from Wolfeboro last night was a tad hairy, apparently the Tuftonboro DPW forgot what sand and salt is for. Once I hit the M'Boro town line on 171 things were smooth sailing.

They're saying Wednesday is all rain:(

How can something that never was end?????

I drove home from work in it last night at 1am. It's not that bad if you keep your speed down and in a low gear... lots of accidents last night but I also saw some people being stupid...

Woke to the beauty.....
 

of four plus inches of white powder covering the grass, trees, etc................a real white wonderland. Drove home to from Homegoods after 10 PM last night. Went slowly and fared well.

A fishing boat with two people just went by out on the water!!!!

Would seem that all is well with the world at the moment.

Snowmobile ride
 

2.5 inches here in central, MA... took the snowmobile for a spin around the yard!!

Quite a Difference
 

We're just a couple miles from you, but here at the water's edge we only got a couple inches of accumulation. The air temp. remained above freezing until almost 11 pm last night, so quite a bit of the early snowfall melted when it hit the ground. This morning the outside temp. was about 27 degrees and hard surfaces were quite icy. The high temp. only reached 32 degrees today and it's now slowly falling again.

Just a little more
 

Likewise, just a few miles from you, DRH, but a little higher in elevation, and we had right at 3 inches of fluffy but heavy snow. Most of our snow came down as really big flake type of snow, and once it started to stick to the road, it got really slick. Slow and steady was the way to go.

Interesting variations; we had 6" on our low deck and the lawn nearby both of which were below freezing through the storm. The upper gravel driveway had only 4" as it was not frozen. Down at the road, about 75' lower in elevation, there was only about 3" on the driveway.

I hate plowing an unfrozen gravel driveway, even with skid shoes on the blade one moves a lot of gravel.

We had about 4-5" in Gilford Village area
 

We had amounts that varied from about 4" to just over 5".

I did get a few pics this morning about 9 AM along the Gunstock River behind the house. It was beautiful and peaceful on the river.

Simply beautiful!
 

SteveA - I think you missed your calling in life! Those photos are absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing those tranquil moments in our beautiful Lakes Region. :)

Steve! I wish there was a 'THANKS' button here... Those pics belong in a photo contest or state fair or something where more folks can see them! WOW~

So beautiful
 

While I don't miss the cold, I really do miss the wonderful experience of the first snowfall. Thank you Steve for allowing those of us so far away to experience the beauty via this wonderful forum.

I Enjoy That Special Quiet...
 

Hey, you can hear a pin drop, while in and after the storm...
I acknowledge, some may need to join the weathernut club, to truly view the light in the above statement! :eek: :) :) :)

Steve-O - stunning pictures! Nice job - I am stuck in IL and miss NH!! Nothing like that our here.

Looks like we might have another ice storm on wednesday....ugh!!!! Hope Accuweather is wrong! Yahoo weather says all snow then showers at night,then windy. That will knock snow and ice laden branches down on power lines, looks like we could be in for a repeat of last year almost a year to the day! :eek::eek:

thanks for the pics...... beautiful

I think this weekend I'm going swimming at the Shalimar or something. I want summer back!

Well it's 11:00pm in Aruba and just cooled down to 82*. Maybe I should come home and hook the plow up! Nah, it's not going any where.

There is ! and YES the photos are great.

Don,
We may need an "I hate you" button. :):):)

Before the Lake became our favorite place on earth, Aruba was that favorite place for many years.

see you soon
 

Hi Capt Bart - don't spend too much time in Aruba. Your blood will get thin and I need my NH outfitter in a few weeks! I've already got my tickets (United...sorry linda) and the usual cast of characters are getting in line.

I am envious Capt Bart. Before I began going to FL my favorite places were Aruba in January (had one Christmas there too) and the lake in July- August.)

Had to come to MA for a couple of doctor appoinments and tests. Was awful commute to Boston Wednesday morning in snow BUT ONLY RAIN in Cambridge and Boston??? What did we get in Moultonborough?
