A small, fiercely well-run family hill near Concord with outsized snowmaking and a great learn-to-ski program. Where a lot of New Hampshire learns.

The forecaster's own words
NWS GYX issued Oct 15 6:51 AM UTC
Key Messages: 1. Low pressure crosses Friday through Friday night bringing beneficial rainfall. 2. Cold temperatures and strong winds arrive for Saturday, with winter-like wind chills. Moderating temperatures from Sunday into next week with rain-free conditions. Discussion: Key Message 1 Description: High pressure races across New England today, exiting to the southeast this evening. The timing will bring one more dry and mild day today before conditions turn more damp and cold into the weekend. Rain remains on schedule for Friday, pushing across the area west to east in the morning. This will be associated with low pressure that most model guidance agrees will pass along or just NW of the US/CAN border. The positively tilted trough across the Great Lakes will ensure the low is progressive, pushing into the Canadian Maritimes shortly after midnight Friday night. Rain continues to be the primary precip type for the forecast area as the system passes to the north. There is the chance for some flurries to mix in across the higher western ME mountains early Friday morning, but this should quickly transition to rain for the day. Ensemble IVT values are impressive, albeit briefly, Friday afternoon. Greater than 750 kg/m/s is likely per both the GEFS and ENS. Combined with the jet dynamics and PWATs that near the 90th percentile for early/mid Oct, can't rule out a period of moderate to heavy rainfall rates. The tricky part is location, as global models poorly represent how rain transits the region as far as intensity goes. It is also possible a dry slot bisects periods of rain or showers. For now this seems like the better solution given QPF totals that have only slightly increased through the week, totaling 0.5 to 1 inch. Without better instability to take advantage of the plume of moisture, precip may be focused along features associated with the low (fronts, fgen, etc). A better grasp on precip presentation will come with the short term guidance window arriving.
