I am still concerned about ice tonight around the lake.

I am happy to hear there is good snow in places north of here. At least for those willing to travel, there is something to play in.

Reports from Rangley to Fort Kent are calling for 10-18" for this storm on top of the 6+ they got yesterday.
Last night we went to the mall in Concord, when we came out around 6 it was starting to ice up in the parking lot and walkways. I know because I almost went down. Turned around and went back in to let them know.

Measured 4" with the yard stick at my place in Meredith although there won't be much left by the end of the week.

3.5" over on Lake Winnisquam...with the warm and rain today and again on Friday its not looking good for a white Christmas.

....up here at about 1800' above sea level in Waterville Valley NH 03215, the temp has hovered from about 32 to 36-degrees and been raining pretty steady all day today, Tuesday, December 18, except for a brief 30-minute time this morning when white slush in big pieces was falling from the sky. Yesterday, we got hit with about three inches of heavy wet snow which still remains and has yet to melt away.......whether or not it will melt away down to the bare ground by Christmas is a possibility looking at the www.weatherchannel.com report for 03215.....but as always.....only time will tell.

If you want a good laugh....go take a look at the conditions report on www.waterville.com which basically never-ever uses the r-word, rain, in their website.......oh well........RAIN happens, even in ski area towns sometimes!

www.realconditions.com ..... hmmmmm.........what the heck is this?

I don't see a cool rain washing all the snow away, but we shall see. If a little bit can hold on until Saturday morning we're going to have a bulletproof White Christmas.

Except for a few small spots in the woods, all gone in New Durham.

The lawn is still snow covered in Meredith. I'm looking at the slush in the driveway (decided there was no need to snowblow Monday night) and I'm starting to wonder if it'll be gone by Satruday morning. If it's not gone and I don't do anything about it it's going to be one heck of a frozen mess for quite awhile. My brain tells me to get out there with a shovel, my back tells me to cross my fingers. Oh well, bring on the next storm!

I was in Wolfeboro on Monday and the Back Bay was completely iced over, and it looked relatively thick.

Back again today and it is mostly open.

Barring a dramatic deep freeze, t'll be a few weeks yet before the lake is closed.

www.skiernet.com/northeast-snow-depth.html shows the snow coverage without indicating where the big lake of NH is located ....hey there....somebody forgot to include an outline of Lake Winnipesaukee within this map.......goodness???
