Grateful for having a portable generator and a lot of fireplaces Co-op did a good job on restoration.

What a difference elevation and the lake makes - went to Laconia this morning and saw areas with bare grass.

Wow, that's unreal! Quite the difference from where I am in Gilford as we only received maybe 1 1/2"...

On the west side of Alton Bay, about 150-200 ft above the lake, and just outside Sandy Point (phew), we got about 2 inches of a mix of very wet snow, sleet, rain, and yuck.

Used the snowblower to move it, and just barely got the job done. On the plus side, it wasn't over a foot.

We did lose power from 1130pm Sat night to around 630pm Sunday night. Thank goodness for the generator and wood stove.

Agree. When I went to Laconia this morning I was shocked. Drive south on 107 through the corners and up Frisky Hill, a winter wonderland. Here's a picture of my "backyard". The bushes in the front are 10 - 12 foot forsythias and lilacs. We'll see how they fare in the spring
