We flourish! In central NH's March we've seen sun worthy of sunscreen (UV 8/10!), snow, sleet, rain, freezing drizzle, gusty winds, and a major snow melt-off, so far without floods. Lows of -1.3ยฐF and a record-setting high of 73ยฐF. March is living up to its reputation. #wxNH
A chart showing monthly precipitation totals. Titled "Monthly Precipitation from Oct 01, 2004 to Sep 30, 2025" subtitled "Station NH-MR-69 Contoocook 06 NW" which is the unique CoCoRaHS station ID and the distance in miles from the geographical center of the village. The chart shows 30 year averages for total precip and monthly totals for rain and snow. Typically, averages are 4 +/- 1/2 inches, and most actual measurements are significantly less. Exceptions: February Snow totalled 24.8" and May and June rains were nearly 9", ending a year-long drought. Significantly below-average rains in July, August and September restarted drought conditions.

And if you don't have one, you should get one. It's like a smoke detector, but for severe weather. Takes up little space, uses a little power, and might save your life. #wxNH #wxME
Northern New Englanders: if your NOAA Weather Radio is doing weird blinking lights and beeping intermittently, it's been 10 days since the last weekly test and it's worried. Turn the alarm switch OFF and back ON and it should reset. The Gray, ME office had an upgrade this week. #wxNH #wxME
Spectacular banded orange and purple skies in Central NH at dawn, too. Winter storm warnings already issued. #NHwx #wxNH
Looking into the long range #Weather forecast- the Northeast may be in for a real ice storm on 12/10-12/11. A strong storm will bring rain to the mid-Atlantic with possible thick ice accretion for the Northeast (expect power outages). Low confidence right now- keep watching! #Wx #WxNH #WxVT #WxNY

Northern New Englanders: nasty icy weather tomorrow morning. Let's not embarrass ourselves by driving like, you know, southern New Englanders. Be careful out there. #wxnh #wxme #wxvt
