Although the higher elevations of NH’s Whites and NY’s Dacks received a dusting of frozen precipitation (some would call it snow) back in mid-September (does anyone have any photos to share?), we have yet to witness the first real accumulation of snowflakes over our northeastern mountains this season. We could see the snowflakes flying this weekend, however, as the coldest air since May will move in and potentially interact with some lingering moisture over the mountains on Saturday. Most forecasts are calling for only a touch of wet snow, if anything, but if we’re lucky, there might be a skiable carpet of snow up there on Sunday morning. Still, I wouldn’t call off your plans to go bike riding or sailing or hiking with your friends. And if you’ve got a garden, you might want to spend some time on Sunday harvesting your most cold-sensitive crops before the frosty air reaches the low elevations, too, Sunday night into Monday morning.
