I drove down the road last night and it was covered with wet leaves. Those trees produced a lot of leaves, and the acorn crop was very large.

12/12/2016 7:00 AM 0.31 4.0 M M M 30°F - light drizzle. There was a bit of snow left in places on the lawn, my new snow gauge showed 4 inches, I checked it against the accumulation in the driveway, and yes, there is 4 inches of snow. Schools in the area are closed, going to be slippery going with this temperature.
12/13/2016 6:40 AM 0.10 0.0 M 3.0 M 28°F - mostly clear. Ice in gauge melted to a tenth of a inch, from light snow and drizzle yesterday morning, no accumulation that I could measure beyond the 4 inches I recorded yesterday. The snow ended up being very wet and is very icy this morning. Has settled to 3 inches.
12/14/2016 6:25 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 29°F - mostly clear. Predicted snow did not materialize.

12/18/2016 7:00 AM 0.62 4.5 M M M 35°F - light rain. We got 5 inches of snow total in this storm. Yesterday evening we experienced some freezing rain, this morning the temperature is rising rapidly. AND we just heard thunder!
12/19/2016 6:55 AM 0.33 M M M M 13°F - cloudy, but the moon is visible if fuzzy. We got the driveway down to the gravel before the temperature dropped very quickly yesterday afternoon after the rain stopped and everything froze. The high yesterday was 48°F.

12/30/2016 7:00 AM 1.10 9.7 M M M 28°F, clear - yesterday late afternoon we had some mixed precipitation and then heavy snow in the evening, probably 7 inches then. The rain gauge was covered with sticky snow (as are all the trees) plus a couple inches of rime above the rim, although the gauge itself was not full. I pushed some of the extra into the gauge, but obviously not an accurate measurement of the water. However, it was a wet storm, we can say that!

2/13/2017 9:15 AM 0.64 8.0 M 18.0 M 28°F - light snow. I used my snow gauge to estimate the new snow, it read 10 inches before the snow, and 18 inches after. It blew around a lot, we are very exposed up here. (I am getting older, had my 74th birthday last month, so the snow measurements are getting really difficult.
2/14/2017 7:20 AM T T M 16.0 M 18°F - clear. Snow total from my snow gauge, has shrunk 2 inches since yesterday. New snow was the last flurries of the storm yesterday after my mid-morning measurement.

2/26/2017 6:30 AM 0.35 M M M M 34°F - cloudy. All the snow is gone except the large piles from plowing. Front with brief heavy rain went through around 10 pm last night, after an evening of fog.

3/14/2017 7:00 AM 0.02 0.2 M M M 24°F - light snow. Blizzard warnings still posted, yesterday was a scramble for the many NH small towns which had town elections today, deciding whether to postpone or tough it out. My town decided to postpone.
3/15/2017 10:00 AM 0.95 9.0 M M M 27°F - clear. Snow by the snow gauge drifted to 21" but right next to it it's probably less than the part of the driveway that is sheltered a bit from the wind where I got the 9" measurement. It was very fine snow and with all the wind tossing it around it's really heavy and hard to move. Probably the hardest snow we can remember to plow or shovel. Of course we are also a lot older.
3/16/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 16°F, clear. Moved a lot of compacted snow yesterday...the drifting was fascinating, some places bare to the ground, others almost 2 feet, including in front of doors!
3/17/2017 6:40 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 18°F - partly cloudy. Woke to finding our cable back, our cable provider's infrastructure was badly damaged by wind and snow in the Tuesday storm. Good to be working without having to set up the hot spot on the cell phone.

A couple of inches of snow left in some areas in the yard, along with the new plow piles which also have bits of our gravel driveway mixed in since ground is thawed. Mud season (again).

I looked back in my photos and saw that the first daffodils bloomed in the second week of April, and most of them the next week, and many of them are still blooming, the result of the cool and wet weather we have been having. We are also out of the drought in all of NH, while there are spots that are still dry, a sigh of relief is being heard here.

The first time I've seen hail in years. None here when we got home around 9 pm.

We were out last night and came home in the midst of it, could hardly see the road in some places. I went to bed, listened to the rain on the roof, when it seemed to have stopped I thought about going out to see how much we'd had, but then it started again...

Checked again when we were about 2 miles from home because we could see a big dark cloud. Saw a big and growing blob of greens right over our little mtn. Came home later to .08" in the gauge. Now that's a fast growing shower. It was plenty humid yesterday.
