Stuff to make using the site easier ..

I use abbreviations for many things:
PB = Peterborough
Precip = Precipitation
SWS = Special Weather Statements
I will continue to add more to this list as I think of them.
I update the forecasts by 7AM and 7PM each day...more frequently if some weather thing is going on. On weekends by 9AM. The Polls page is located under the "Fun" tab in the main menu.

Make sure your browser is set to allow "pop-ups" from this site. I use them extensively and there is no danger of any viruses or anything like that.

I am based in Peterborough, NH, but the main forecasts (for now) are for Nashua, NH and the region. I send out an email every Thursday that covers the upcoming weekend forecast. I also send out advisories when issued by the NWS to this list. You will NEVER get SPAM or emails from anyone else. I don't share my mail list with anyone. If you'd like to be a part of that mailing, send your email address to: Mail List

 

How I started...

I've been a weather hobbyist all of my life. As a child, I used to stand outside in the rain during thunderstorms just to watch the lightning. Back in the '70s getting weather information was a chore. I remember listening to NWS broadcasts during hurricane season and plotting these on a piece of paper. After moving to New England I finally bought my first real weather station made by Davis Instruments. I began to record daily weather data in a journal. I had a few people, where I work, who knew I was a weather nut, ask me to send them an e-mail on the weekend forecast. So two grew to five then 15, then 40, and now my Thursday weekend mail list reaches over 200+ people. I took some web programming classes in the late '90s and a few years after that RichLefko.com was born. I wanted to share my hobby with anyone who was interested, and I am quite overwhelmed with how many people seem to be interested. I've gotten so many "thank you's" for a variety of reasons..."saved my party", "saved my wedding", "saved my life." It's been fun and rewarding all at the same time.
Thanks for visiting RichLefko.com. Please tell your friends and family.

Rich's Local Weather Discussion:

11/20 - 6:43 AM: Cold again today and throughout the weekend. Some snow flurries around today as well. See your zone forecasts for details on how cold it will be in your area. Saturday mornings wind chill temps may be in the single numbers as this unusually cold air outbreak continues. I am still looking at the long range charts and I still see "something" next week. I will give more details on this on tonight's email blast, which may be a tad later than usual. What, not on the email list??? Scroll down for details.
Stay tuned....

11/19 - 6:10 PM: Cold again tonight. The winds should keep the temps up a bit. Dry and cold into the weekend. As I look at the extreme long range charts, I see "something" possible around Thanksgiving. Stay tuned and remember where you heard it first. Weekend forecast will be posted in the morning.
