We've gotten off and on very wet snow here by Christmas Island. I'd say maybe a couple inches has fallen but has compacted into less than an inch. We are right on the edge of the rain/snow line. They laid some sand/salt down on the streets a couple hours ago. Unlike the last storm which had constant bands of heavy snow, this storm has patches of on and off light wet snow.

On/off in the Alton/New Durham area, and seems to switch back and forth from slush to wet snow. Also seems to be melting as fast as it falls. Not much on the ground and the roads are wet but clear.

On and off with zero accumulation. I've been calling around and it is the same in Gilmanton and Gilford, looks like a bust. The temp is fluctuating between 36 and 37.

Are roofs that covered up there with snow right now? The blizzard we got blew all of it off, what didn't melted shortly after. The storm last week added some but a lot of it melted the past couple days.

As of 2pm today we got 2" on the hill side in West Alton.

Last storm the prediction was 3 to 6" and we got 13". This storm the prediction is for 6 to 12" and it looks like we will end up with maybe 4". I guess you could say that "on average" the predictions are right on.

Got some show off the roof yesterday, about 15" of heavy stuff.

I just cleared off a friends chicken coop. About 6-10 inches and each shovel full felt like it had a cinder block in it.
But the news media are as usual getting everyone in a frenzy over roofs and snow.
If you have a properly constructed house you will be fine unless you have a flat or slightly flat roof. Most homes with a steep pitch will have no problems at all.

I drove from Gilford to Alton around 2 pm and the roads were totally clear and we had only steady flurries. On the way back a little after 3 pm the snow and wind had increased considerably and Rte. 11 was snow covered and the traffic was going about 35 mph in the 55 mph zone. When I look out the window I can't see more than 100 feet. Looks like I'm in a snow globe. I guess the serious accumulation will be between now and tomorrow morning.

I can tell you that around Paugus Bay we have had melting snow since the last storm ended. I have a shingled roof and even the side that doesn't get sun has less than 4" on it. The snow roofs on our property, with steeper slopes, had no snow on them as of last night. The snow has been in a pretty constant state of melting. Had the temps plummeted I would have worried about ice dams, but there's no chance of that with moderating temps above freezing. The foreseeable forecast has temps above freezing during the day with lows at night in the upper 20's. I wouldn't worry about your roof with the amount of melting that we'll see in the next few days. I haven't had to use my ice bubbler for 4 days!

Waterville Valley: judging what's accumulated on the parked cars all day here, it looks like it is two inches of fairly wet snow.......definately no big snowy deal what-so-ever, so far! The www.waterville.com says it is five inches but they must have their own way of measuring or something?

Ha, ha ski areas and snowmobile reports seem to have the same problem with snow totals. I have heard this from a lot of people this year who have headed north expecting more then you got when they got there.

A whole lot of not much, but just enough to plow. Average was 3-4 inches in Belmont, Gilmanton & Gilford with maybe 2 in Laconia.

Anybody know what the trails look like for the weekend?

[sluggo]

Upper elevations are good .... the bottom trails are really thin...Red hill and sandwich notch is ok ... not so great over to holderness by little squam. I rode over castle and the clouds and up to white lake. everything was great till i hit the tracks. North conway up twards twin got 10 inches yesterday so it must be pretty good up there. Berlin got 5 inches. I heard cole brook was in good shape and ash stream. Be carefull on the lakes watch for ridges , theres a lot of open water around them. Thats what i know... i am going for a ride latter before it all melts here... have fun

[SAB1]

Thanks for the update.

All the lake areas I have driven by look like pea soup slush. So lake riding may not be all that great. And it doesn't help that the temp is at 40 degrees.
Lots of melting going on.
I'm heading up to Jackman tonight with my son. They didn't get much but there is some good riding to be had in places.
