As anticipated, this storm delivered a tight snowfall gradient that aligned across Cheshire County. This resulted in amounts of generally 3-5 northwest of Keene, and then a rapid increase to 10 - 14 in the southeast corner of the county. Overall, a gradient of about an inch every two miles was present from Keene to Jaffrey and Peterborough. This is a little tighter than the gradient in the January 14, 2008 storm, but still does not challenge the infamous Blizzard of 2003 (President's Day II) on February 16-17, 2003 that gave Jaffrey 19.5" and Peterborough 21" while holding Swanzey to 8" and Marlow to 5".
