Winter Storm -- 6" snow in time for Halloween?!
I don't want to spook anyone, but this is scary stuff: Winter storm watch for Saturday, 29 Oct. Over 1/2 foot possible.
Some of the gory details for Saturday: * Impacts... heavy wet snow... at times wind-driven... will result in appreciable excess weight on trees that still have leaves. This will likely result in tree damage and subsequent power outages. In addition... a burst of heavy snow during the night will almost certainly stick to roads despite it still being October. This will result in very slippery travel. Reduced visibilities are expected. |

Some boats still in the water.
While not a lot are in I noticed several boats while driving to Christmas Island this morning. Many had cockpit covers on them. I wonder if they will hold up with all the snow forecast?

Ours held up, I am glad we didn't get the 12" inches others did.

Generally 12-15 inches of snow
I think everyone got around 12-15 inches of snow from this storm. Luckily, it melted on contact with the ground, which is why most people are only seeing 1-2 inches as they wake up this morning.

I would have left my boat in a bit longer, but I too was worried about a half a foot or more of heavy wet stuff damaging the top, so I pulled it yesterday. I guess that ends summer.

I waited till yesterday late morning to plow my Laconia lots and it was down to about 6”. As of this morning the snow on the ground in Belmont has only lost about 3-3 inches of depth. I cannot believe that Bear Island got that little. I wonder if the lake temp had something to do with that. Hopefully Moultonborough had the same results. We have 2 job trailers on site and I’m not looking forward to shoveling a spot for my ramp to drop down this morning. |
