Snow Amounts update please?

[sli74]

Brian and I are thinking about heading up to NH to go backpacking but are curious what the snowfalls amounts are like from this storm today. Anyone in the Whites have some estimates for us? Thank you in advance.

You got about double what we did on this side of the Greens. We got maybe two inches and its slush.

I want sun, warmth and springtime in tux!!

I refuse to snowshoe this weekend.

In my parking lot (Thornton, elev 680 ft) we got about three inches of wet heavy stuff. The kind that sticks to snowshoes and makes them weigh 100 pounds

May go out tomorrow (cabin fever) to see what conditions are like. efiled my taxes today, so no excuses for staying at home

Chocorua Snowfall

About 8" in Chocorua Village now, and close to a foot expected when it's done. North and west of here are expected to have a foot or more.

This in on top of the foot of snowpack still in the woods, partly fron last week's storm.

Thanks everybody . . . from all those reports I'd guess 6-12 inches in Crawford Notch? Do you think that is a good guess? Mohamed, please kindly report back on your outing tomorrow. Thank you.

Definitely in that range. More time to play in the snow! Some of the cross-country areas are even able to groom the trails.

I second that 8" measurement in Tamworth...and it's still coming down at a decent clip. I'd be tempted to have some fun in it tomorrow, but I'm seeing cloudy and snowy forecasts for the afternoon/evening (Phil Collins lame).

In Lebanon we got about 5 inches of very wet snow. For the Whites it is impressive with already 6+ for all of the ski areas I could find. Totals by tomorrow with be 10-17 inches. Then we have a far large storm to worry about...-Mattl

About 7 to 8 inches on my porch railing this morning.

You might already be aware of this link which has been posted previously, but just in case, here it is. It has its limitations, but is another tool to use.

another good resource, prolly same data as happyhiker's link tho. Problem is -- no indication if its heavy of fluffy!

Any idea what kind of snow to expect in the -- oh say -- Anderson/Lowell/Sawyer River rd area?

 

[gaiagirl]

About 10 inches when all was said and done in Chocorua, looks like a bit more in Albany. We really could've used all this in December and January .

 

[Mattl]

In the sawyer, Anderson, Lowell area there is about 3-4 feet of old snow with about 2-3 feet of wet new snow...be careful. -Mattl

Does anybody have information on Kearsarge (the one near Concord - not Conway)? I'm looking at heading up the Lincoln Trail this weekend - probably tomorrow.

Any local information on snow amounts and general conditions would be greatly appreciated.
