Picture from the Union Leader which got it from Mt. Washington Observatory.
Mount Washington has gotton almost 1/4 of it's snowfall for the season already and Some ski resorts are thinking of opening early.
At Mt. Washington, weather observers reported several records broken — most precipitation in October (27.85 liquid inches and counting); most snow in a single 24-hour period in October (25.7 inches on Oct. 26) and snowiest October (72 inches in the last 12 days).
. . . Road trips were not easy yesterday at the northern tip of the state. In Colebrook, road crews had to stop plowing to take chain saws to downed trees.
Meanwhile, those of us at lower altitudes are happy to escape this storm with only 3 1/4" of precipitation. Whatever snow fell at the Bogie household melted by the time I got home from work.
Even before Tuesday, Concord had broken the all-time monthly precipitation record of 10.97 inches, set in September 1888, the weather service said.
Hopefully we will get a chance to dry out before winter really sets in.
Wildcat Mountain in Pinkham Notch, NH opened their slopes for business today, the earliest it has ever opened. Of course it helps that they received four feet of snow from the storm on Tuesday.

There was an article in the paper that they might open this week, but I wasn't sure if they had.
