It has been a long night of heavy wet snow sticking to everything, combined with wind picking up from the NW. This led to many trees and branches down. Around midnight I could see across the lake, to the south, as blue flashes lit up the night sky. Each one was a transformer exploding, representing a new power outage.
The snowfall totals were all over the place.
Black Cat Island got only 5 inches. I assume this is because the wind was from the NE early in the storm, and the Ossipee Mountains shadow the station from that direction. That has happened before. Other areas around the lake got a foot or more.
There are places southeast of here (in the "rain zone") that ended up with a lot more snow than we did - more than forecast. The mountains and ski areas did well with this storm. Fryeburg Maine (adjacent to North Conway NH) reports 2 feet.
The snow is still frozen to everything, despite the wind. That will contribute to more power outages today.
