Jan. 11 snow thread

[Waumbek]

5" of light fluffy snow overnight with moderate snow fall continuing in Franconia @ 1200'. Cannon reports the same amount.

 

[DrewKnight]

About 5" of light fluff at 1500 feet in Waterville Valley, and still coming down steadily. Winds on the valley floor are calm, too -- should be a nice day to be outside.

 

[Jim lombard]

7" and still falling in Sandown, NH

 

[Quietman]

10" of nice light powder in Peterborough. I wish Monadnock was open
I'll probably head up S. Pack with my skis.

I-93 pileup

59 vehicles involved in a pileup near Derry, NH this morning. Cars, buses and the UMass women's hockey team! No serious injuries. The traffic must be terrible.

6-7 inches here in Albany NY area. Good to go snowshoeing in the neighborhood woods

We're up to 8" of incredible powder here in Littleton, and it's still snowing lightly. It's easy to shovel and it's great "snowshoeing" snow.

I'm in Bath, NH at my mother-in-law's (not too far from Littleton) and we have about the same - 8+ of light freshies. I just got back from a 90-minute snowshoe with the dogs. Beautiful!

Ditto here. It's gorgeous--easy to clear, fun to play in.

Catskills saw 10" of fresh white stuff n expecting more all this week.

I-93

I drove south mid-morning, I-93 was slick, slick, slick. Not a fun drive at all.

Except for the M-i-L thing, I had the exact same experience right down to the time, here in Holderness!

 

[Silverfox]

8-9 inches of fluffy snow in Meredith

And one VftT moderator.

We were the last car to stop safely (although we were bumped from behind by a sliding car) but every car in front of us was piled up and crumpled. After about two hours we could back out and headed for an alternate skiing destination. I can report that there was 6"+ of light fresh untracked snow.

 

[NeoAkela]

Glad you escaped unscathed, David! That looked a bit nightmarish on the news - I can only imagine what it was like right in the middle of it!

...oh, and about 6" of fluff here in Bethlehem, give or take an inch or two

Yikes, how frightening! I'm glad you're okay.

 

[Waumbek]

Close call, Dave, good to hear you are safe. There were several broken leg and -ankle injuries, including those suffered by this very Good Samaritan:

N NJ got 2" fluff with 1/4" crust on top. Like an apple cobbler. Long way from the 8-10" forecast. The rsult of doing GFD calcs on a Blackberry vs a Cray??

 

[Quietman]

Sorry, but the storm shifted north. Your 10" ended up in my yard, thank you!

Another multi-car (8) crash on I-93 in So NH this morning:
