Rainfall March 2024 – Southern NH – Goffstown

Water collects in the back woods. The ground was still frozen despite heavy rains. Then, with the snow and ice starting to melt, water collected all over the woods, backyards, and wherever there was a depression.
On average, this area of NH receives just a sliver more than 3 inches of rain in March. But then averages are made to fluctuate.

The moon rises over the back woods, and our outdoor rink. This was one night after a late March snow/rain storm. The rink was full of water and slush. On this night about one inch of ice formed on top and sealed the rest of the slushy water underneath. But our skating season was done.

March weather day. Sprinkles of rain after midnight turned to heavy snow in the early morning hours. 4.5″ of snow. Then it started to rain. The rain fell all day and it fell very heavy at times. After dark, the rain was falling then freezing on the ground and everything else. Then it snowed for a little while (1/2 inch) before the storm blow through.

Looking out my window at Black Brook. For most of the month, the water was rushing high and beautifully loud.
