Recently spoke with one of the well seasoned NWS meteorologists, in-house working and have been forecasting this storm. The last I heard was their snowfall forecast mostly verified, but "for the wrong reasons". That is a snowfall forecast from within 24 hours. That is not a good thing in the science.
Looks like another small one on the way for Wednesday, up to 6" in some areas.
Heavy & wet like last time but strong winds to create lots of power outages
and downed lines. The first 2/3rds. of winter is not bad, but I hate snows
@ the 30 degree marks. I think of the Allstate ad with the "Havoc Man"
laying on the roof and caving it in. Ain't roof raking a kick in the arse ?
Tell you what, lets have all the skiers and snowmobilers stay home the day
after each storm and shovel and roof rake the homes for us working stiffs.
Then they can tell us how much they love NH winters.............
Three inches of snow here and coming down hard. I'll be plowing soon and I expect my phone to blow up with calls for roof clearing. Sometimes I think it would be nice to throw a log in the fire place and just watch it come down instead.
Here's a few pics from the day after the last snow storm. My 10 yo daughter and I hiked to the summit of our mountain (aka Mt Kearsarge). The first few miles from the toll booth had a few inches of fresh stuff over a packed snowmobile trail which made it easier to hike and we did not need snowshoes. The last half mile from the upper parking lot (where we stopped for lunch) to the summit was knee deep and we needed snowshoes to climb to the summit. By the time we came down off the summit a number of snowmobilers had packed the trail down hard. We sat on top of our gear on the sled I packed in and coming down was MUCH faster than hiking up! What a blast.

Do you ever winter hike in the Kanc? Kids welcome too
My wife and I have been out almost the past 6 weekends in a row. Last time we did little Mt Willard. In Crawfords. We had about the same weather you did on Mt Kearsarge.
I just had it hit me that there IS 2 Mt Kearsarge's in NH...... I have done yours, long ago....

Methinks that roof shoveling is overly promoted, sometimes. I do mine @ 3 feet and
have never had a problem. They are always saying one foot, but I have a 2001 manufactured
home that has the honeycomb roofing as opposed to standard rafters on stick built houses.
I welcome other opinions and feedback.

I typically do my roof edges when we get over 10" of snow stuck to the roof, I only rake the the roof when it has 2'+ on it with a forecast for more snow or rain.

It kinda depends on the building.... And then the snow and weather after the snow. There is around 36 kinds of snow. Heavy wet snow and rain after with a foot on a weaker roof will crush buildings easy.
In Carrol County back in I think 07 a lot of places caved in and trailer homes tipped over. Most of the places were bulldozed up and are long gone, but a few places are still standing with no roof.
Lots of things simply depend on how things are where ever one is.
