New England's Narrow Road

Snowfall in New Hampshire

Wednesday the northeast has some nasty weather. Many places saw a little snow and then it turned to rain, but where I live in the hills north of Mt. Monadnock, we had all snow. About a foot and a half of it!

It was the nasty, heavy wet stuff that was a pain to shovel and weighed down the hemlock trees.

Roxy in the snow — My neighbor's black lab loved it!

The dog had a blast chasing my snowballs. By the end of the day the snow depth was over my knees in the yard.

ruler in the snow — An early measurement

This is an early measurement. We got about 4 inches more after this…

high snow — Basement slider- I won't be using this door any time soon

The metal roof on this house emptied the snow off like it’s suppose to, but that meant lots more shoveling.

It is Thursday- the day after- as I post this and we are getting lots of rain on top of all this snow and flood watches are in effect. My friends in Florida sent me photos on Facebook of their trip to St. Lucia. It looked pretty nice.

Ice Waterfalls Roadside

When the sun is warm enough to melt snow but the days are still not very warm, ice waterfalls (I call them) form on the rocks and every year they seem to appear along this stretch of road heading into or out of Keene, NH. Excuse the blurriness of these shots since I was in a moving car.

Some of this ice was blue, but since I concentrating on keeping my car in the right lane , I didn’t get the best shots.

There are many scenic routes in NH and the entire northeast and Rt. 9 is one of them in my opinion.

Driving to Keene By Granite Gorge Ski Mountain

Driving to Keene, I took my camera along for more “drive by” photos.
Granite Gorge is a very small ski mountain on Rt. 9 somewhere between Hillsborough and Keene. My kids have been there to go tubing but none of us ski.
