What River ?

Most folks who have viewed this blog on a regular basis (or irregular) basis well know my fascination preoccupation taking views of the Nashua River from our 5th floor mill apartment window.

Totals as of an hour ago are around 18 inches according to Patrick who has been  monitoring weather reports. Needless to say we are not going anywhere.

In a panoramic view an hour ago this morning it was hard to tell where the land ended and the river started. But, as you can see from the bit of water on the left side, there is a water there.

This 3-image collage is a familiar view of as much of the river as we can see from our apartment window. It's still snowing with light snow expected to continue until into the afternoon. Totals as of an hour ago are around 18 inches according to Patrick who has been  monitoring weather reports.

This was the morning view on Saturday with leftover snow from the previous weekend. The light coating of river ice created interesting and beautiful patterns. 

By Sunday morning about 10 am, our view was of cloudy skies, but there was no snow falling.

That soon changed as within a couple of hours, the snow was coming down and visibility was very limited. It worsened over the course of the storm. However, opening the apartment window and screens would be to invite the storm indoors, so I resisted taking photos.

This first major snow storm of 2026 not only impacted New England, but so many other parts of the U.S. with over 30 states affected by over a foot of snow and ice. While Nashua, NH, only received snow, followed by bitter cold temperatures and winds this week.

A homemade pot of chicken soup and fresh baked bread will be enjoyed today.

Work on the jigsaw puzzle continues with completion and a reveal later this week.

Stay safe and warm as possible
