Nor'Easter, 12/16 - 17

The snow is flying sideways this morning. It began last night at 11:30 p.m. as intermittent light snow but didn't become meaningful until just after 4 a.m. It accumulated an inch by 5 a.m. At 10 a.m. the tally is up to 4.3 inches.

The winds are really picking up out of the ENE, 19 gusting to 30 mph and rising. This is causing a lot of blowing and drifting. A couple of hours ago we had moderate snow with temp of 7 and dewpoint of 1. I can't remember the last time I saw those numbers so low with steady precip falling.

In the WeatherCam this morning you may notice that the snow isn't melting in the lake. It is forming white icebergs that have been drifting by all morning. Details are auto-updated (as long as the power stays on) at www.blackcatnh.com/weather.

UPDATE: 11:15 a.m. The precip has changed over to sleet with some light snow mixed in. Snow total is 4.8 inches. Temp 15 degrees and winds still averaging northeast but coming around to the east.
