Snow?

dpassmore25 · 02-23-2013, 07:18 PM

Anyone in the Moultonborough know what the snow is doing? Snowing pretty hard here in mass and I'm considering coming up tonight to ride tomorrow.
Thoughts?

in Laconia.

In Tuftonboro now. One and a half inches so far. Trails low are not great. Gotta get high

I was up there the last two nights and it was great. Since its higher elevation the new snow should be great for it.

We may not have much new snow on the ground by tomorrow morning. This storm is supposed to be a 24 hour storm and drop it in small increments. Total storm predictions for our area are anywhere from as little as 3 to as much as 9 inches, so in other words they do not know and we could wind up with a little or a lot. Warm daytime temps next week and possible rain means it won't last long either.

Worst winter I can remember for keeping snow on the ground.
Oh and about 1 inch in Belmont as of now.

Its been snowing on and off all day. Maybe two inches of heavy snow so far. I didn't venture out on the trails in Moultonborough neck they looked very thin. The parts of the lake I was on today wasn't to bad for riding around (lots of spots with no snow just ice) on but you have to be careful with the visibility with the snow coming down seeing the pressure ridges out there.

Good luck with the drive up

Not a lot of change since I went to bed, maybe 2" of heavy wet snow here. Yes that is total so it snowed maybe 1/2 inch over night. I just looked at radar and it just doesn't look like we are going to get a whole lot, also the outside temp is 34 so I'm sure we are also getting melting as well. Temps on the high 30's tomorrow do not fair well for it staying around.
Update:it came down hard for about 1.5 hours and we are now up to 4", nothing happening now, it's coming in waves.

4inches in Tuftonboro now. Heading out onto lake soon

upthesaukee · 02-24-2013, 10:11 AM

About a half mile out of Alton Bay beyond Sandy Point, and a half mile off the Lake above rte 11, I have 4.5 inches of heavy wet snow. The "D" trail detour goes right down my street past my house, and not a single snowmobile has gone by this morning. Still snowing pretty good, last look at the weather radar shows the snow is moving NE and the back edge is from around Keene to just west of New London and pts north from there.

ride well, ride safe, and wave going past my house.

We stayed on the island last night, 4 inches of new snow as of now and more to come.

I don't know if I am in the snow belt or something but I just measured 10" of new snow in my driveway in Gilford and it's still coming down pretty good!

No your not Dan, I just finished my first round which includes a house on Liberty Hill and we have exactly 8" in Belmont. It has been coming down steady for the last few hours and it has been piling up. If this last till midnight like they project it will, we should have somewhere in the area of a foot or more.

Can't put enough smiles in!!!

Slickcraft · 02-24-2013, 01:10 PM

As of noon we had 10" of the predicted 3 to 6 here on the hill side in West Alton, heavy stuff to plow and shovel. I presume that Mike Haddad will be by to remove the surplus.

Lakegeezer · 02-24-2013, 01:15 PM

The snow didn't do any favors for lake riding, or even walking. There is a thick layer of slush under the new heavy snow - it probably pushed the ice down and up came the water. Snowmobiles need to go fast or get bogged down, and the slush will come up 6" on your boots in spots. There is not much traffic today, so the lake won't be packed down. Maybe it will get better as the new snow settles. There is still 15" of ice under the slush.

PaugusBayFireFighter · 02-24-2013, 01:22 PM

Looks like we'll end up with 10-12" of the wet heavy stuff in Laconia. The snow should end here within the hour.

10" here in Belmont as well as of 1pm. I'll take another 2 then I can charge for 2 storms. This is by far the hardest snow to plow yet. I waited until the 20+ storm was over and had an easier time of moving that then the 6-8 I was moving today.

In Laconia it has been raining off and on. It seems to be snowing now but the ground is so warm it is not sticking yet. I would not waste a trip up here
