NHLiveFree Champion Author New Hampshire Posts:11,076 Points:1,620,255 Joined:Jun 2008	Message Posted: Feb 9, 2013 11:58:02 PM Ignore NHLiveFree Report Abuse Record setting 32" for Portland, Maine! Ah climate change and the new extremes it brings to all! Only 24" in less than 12 hours here in southern NH. Record rate over time for us! Fortunately it was also exceptionally dry and much lighter than the norm for here. No power outages this time either. No wonder Straitliner, that was the top baby producing week since WWII! It was also a great week of snowmobiling with pay for me!!!
