But, not as much as many other areas here in New England and in other northeastern U.S. states received on Saturday from a major nor'easter, which has dubbed Winter Storm Kenan.
by the Weather Channel which is naming winter storms for the 10th season.
Snowfall total here in Nashua, NH, was just shy of 9 inches with an official amount of 8.8 inches. Totals differed in some areas because of light drifting snow.

| Morning after the first major winter storm of 2022 |
And, as usual, this day after view was taken Sunday morning from the warmth and comfort of our 5th floor mill apartment overlooking the Nashua River. The sun was shining brightly but the temps were frigid outdoors in the single digits.
It's history now, but this major winter storm packed blizzard conditions with high winds that dumped up to two feet of snow in some New England states, more in others. Up to 24 inches of snow piled up in areas of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Parts of coastal Maine got more than a foot of snow before the storm moved out late Saturday.
However, here in the mill apartment parking lot, the cars of some residents were snow-covered and plowed in. These owners need to be up early Monday morning as snow clearing starts at 7:30 a.m. and towing starts at 8 a.m. for unmoved cars.
We're thankful for underground garage parking. It's well worth the cost to stay indoors without the need to shovel out. We did that for many years and it's wonderful not to do it now.
If where you live was blanketed by this storm, we hope you were safe and warm as well.

My sister-in-law, who lives up the road from you, said that they didn’t get as much snow as expected. What snow they got seemed to have blown off their driveway. My brother-in-law had very little snow to clear from the driveway. Yes, indoor parking is fantastic, especially in the winter. I have been watching the approach of the next winter storm. The forecast is calling for 12+ inches of snow to fall Thursday. We still have about a foot of snow on the ground.
I feel bad for those who park outside. That is no fun! We escaped your winter wallop, but we already had two feet from previous storms. This Thursday looks to be another 18 inches. We’re concerned about ice dams on our roof. Stay warm!
We had that one very major dumping but haven’t had a lot of snow otherwise. There’s plenty accumulated now though.
we were 'blanketed by frost' 2 days in a row here, which has not happened since 1989. walked in 33 degrees and nearly froze my fingers off. of course ours pales in comparison to yours. great shots of all the snow and the view as always is beautiful from your 5th floor. glad the sun is out
I'm glad you were safe and warm and could see all this snowy beauty from your window. I love that Grenville spotted that eagle. Makes me wonder if you see them there often. Stay warm and safe there.
I'm so glad you have underground parking! Snow is always so beautiful on the day after, when the sky is blue and the sun out. Lovely photos all! We're due for some (not like that!) on Wednesday.
I read about the blizzard, and I am so glad that you parked your cars indoors. As you say, it is well worth the cost. Stay warm and take care!
We got a couple feet of snow. I hope this is the end of the big storms for this winter. I can't wait for Spring and the warmer temps to get here. Enjoy your day, hugs, Edna B.
Winter is all about snow. I am happy that I am retired and don't have to drive in it, but other than that I enjoy it.
Well, you finally got some snow! It looks impressive from your apartment bird's eye view - especially with the gorgeous winter sunshine.
Speaking of birds, the bald eagle photo is amazing. I have often tried to take photos of the eagles around here but never had any luck.
And I don't think I've ever seen a bald eagle.
Having any inside parking is a true blessing in the snowy months. It does look beautiful but it is a pain to trudge through or to move around to get out of the way--LOL! ;)
I think my daughter in law, who lives in Maine, south of Portland, had 12" of snow. I haven't heard any bad issues like power outages, etc., so apparently she dodged the big one. Your pictures are beautiful...and that eagle is magnificent!! It was SO good to actually TALK to you today...thank you for calling. That was fun!! Hope to hear from you again soon. I'm glad you have inside parking. That definitely makes a big difference in the snowy north. I remember that...but we still had to shovel/snow blow our driveway. We are happy to be living in Florida now!! No snow to shovel here, Praise God!! Just lots of sunshine and sand...oh, and no falling iguanas here either! LOL. Blessings to you and yours....be safe my friend.
Nine inches seems like quite a lot of snow for someone like me who gets little to no snow. Pristine white snow just looks so pretty. Good to know that you have excellent snow cleaning services in your town.
So glad you have underground parking, Dorothy.
Snow photos are always such a treat for those of us living in the tropics!
Happy Tuesday!
Oh my goodness, it is terrible when one does not have a parking garage to park under. Digging a car out of this much snow is no fun! How lovely of an area you live in. The snow looks beautiful on the river. Stay warm!
I will enjoy your snowfall as it’s highly unlikely we’ll have our own. Lovely photos. B x
You got about the same amount of snow as we did. Luckily not as much as Boston, and let's hope the weather at the end of this week is more rain. I don't know though since February is traditionally the big snow month. UGH! And wow. I did a double take at your photos because I thought that looked like a bald eagle. They are definitely around, but great you could catch him as you did. Usually you look up at them, not down. Happy February to you! hugs-Erika
Oh my! Lots of snow.
Last weekend I was shivering in Florida when temperature dropped below freezing point for a couple of hours. :)
Stay warm, Beatrice!
It looks cold.
Oh wow - you got a LOT more than us! I was all ready for a big storm, and we got, maybe, 3 inches. Nashua looks pretty in snow!
I think strong winds can be more worrying than a lot of snow, as they can topple trees, take off roofs and cause huge power outages. Here in Northern Ireland we've had a lot of very strong winds recently but luckily no damage in our immediate neighbourhood.
No snow here...it is summer here, after all...we've had a couple of storms, though. Some areas have been hit hard. I feel for those who suffered damage...and some did, badly.
Take good care. :)
That was a lot of snow. The river is partially open which makes lots of birds happy. We just missed that big snow storm but we are still with snow from a long time ago. Our temps are also terribly cold.
Here in the South East of the UK we haven't had any snow so far this year and long may that continue. It's beautiful but as we aren't used to it, the country tends to grind to halt when we get it!
