What the National Weather Service wrote

A severe thunderstorm dropped hail the size of quarters in Groveton, near US Highway 3.

The wider storm

A strong mid-level ridge anchored off the East Coast continued to pump a highly anomalous, warm air mass directly into New England. This allowed unseasonable warm air on the order of 20 to 25 degrees above normal. By the afternoon a surface cold front began to sweep into Northern New Hampshire, triggering thunderstorms. A few of the storms became severe across Coos and Grafton Counties.

Began near Groveton (44.6000, -71.5100).
