Early snow hits north of the notches

PINKHAM NOTCH — Residents of Jackson along Route 16 north of the village toward Pinkham Notch were treated to an early season dusting of snow, part of an “Alberta clipper” than blanketed much of southern Canada and the northern U.S.

According to (New York) AccuWeather Meteorologist Brandon Buckingham, “While portions of the Northeast have already witnessed snowflakes flying this fall, a quick-hitting Alberta clipper system will likely bring the first round of snow that will actually stick to the ground” in the higher elevations of northern New England.
