Remember the classic movie "Airplane" where a passenger offers to translate a conversation with an urban resident?
Yeah, the NWS does love to speak jive. Hard to catch their mistakes that way, I guess. Who's gonna question somebody who knows the words "secondary cyclogenesis"? Kind of like walking out of the doctor's office wondering whether to buy aspirin or a cemetery lot.

Anyway, I read this as they believe that a blast of cold air will come in tomorrow night and meet the warm, wet, air arriving after midnight. There should be snow over most of New Hampshire, but an on-shore wind along the coast will cause a turnover to rain there. The dividing line is still unknown, but right now they think it's near Concord. There's about a ½" of water available, so depending on where you are you could get anything from a ½" of rain to 6"+ of snow, with the mountains more likely to get all snow.

BTW: Secondary cyclogenesis occurs when a low pressure system causes tornado-like winds that grow explosively. I guess they're saying it could get pretty windy in places, and are looking at small craft advisories for Friday.


Does that include snowmobiles? :rofl:

Going up this weekend and will sled out of Coleman State Park area. Where do you park?

Anyone have suggested routes to take. I have never been to this area before.

Thanks!!
Take Diamond Pond Rd off of rte 26. This will lead you to Swift Diamond Riders clubhouse. Gas pumps are open 24x7 and they have maps at the pumps too.

Have a great trip Gun !
:drinks:
There is excellent riding up there :good:
Thanks for the reassuring post Thump. I'm heading to SDR in the morning and after reading some of the other posts I was starting to get worried. Based on most reports I plan to go north and east out of CSP. Sounds like the best bet.

hope you have wheels on your ski's. Lower elvations really took a hit around there. I have a place in north stratford and after last weekend of fair trails at best I'm certain this weeks warm air will result in poor snow conditions if any until you get into the hills.

Thanks for the info. I was thinking about parking at Nash Stream but I guess I'll drive up to Coleman or Pittsburg.
