This was the observers comments on the Mt Wasington web page this morning:

Observer's Comments:
8pm: The snow storm has passed over, and winds picked up today with a 
peak at 110mph. Snowfall totals around the state came in at 7to 40 
inches. Twenty-two inches at Pinkham Notch left them at 47 inches on 
the ground at of 6am this morning. And 28 inches of new snow in 
Tuckerman's Ravine left them with a whopping 70.5 as of this morning 
as well as extreme certainty of current avalanche danger. A Snocat 
trip scheduled for earlier today turned around at about half-way due 
to near zero visibility amidst severe blowing snow above deep drifts 
which leaves us wondering about shift change for tomorrow...

3am: Winds are forecasted to still be rather high tomorrow. Snow 
blowing 25 foot long and 5 foot high drifts against the front door in 
a matter of hours is making shift change tomorrow (an 8 mile trip by 
Snocat) look less and less likely. Winds are averaging 72 mph and 
just gusted to 87mph. Back to shoveling...
