In contrast to how this one played out, the GFS & EURO models on same page for Tue./Wed. storm. What, too soon? There will be a question of precipitation type. So there's that.

As ❄️ thump continues, note to self: Stick to my guns on snow totals next time. In a stirring turn of events, EURO now looking like the winner with its higher . Original thought is usually the best, isn't it?

I don't always share the 4 PM , but when I do... ;) It's me talking snow right out of the gate. :) Please watch for all the back story on the storm forecasting...

"Red sky in morning, sailors take warning."
Meteorological translation: high clouds a sign of approaching storm.
More of a storm for some Mainers vs. others, as you know.

My BLOG tonight. You guys are thrilled. 😉
Many asking about timeline. It's included. Cheers.

That Mom Nature. Such a prankster. Picking April 1st to deliver yet another snow event to Maine. It's not the first to happen on the first, of course. You may remember April Fools' snowstorms of past, including 1997 and 2011. % INLINE % Around this time of year, one literally has to program one's m...

Not in any way an April Fools' joke.

Meteorologist Tom Johnston and Keith Carson have put their heads together and this is their initial offering for a storm Friday afternoon through Saturday.

03/29/2017

Talking about the April Fools' snow chance...

03/28/2017

Yep, it's been a cold March.
5th coldest on record.

03/28/2017

EURO liking Friday-Saturday snowstorm possibility even more today. Still kinda early, but...worth watching. No foolin'.

Getting ready for work - LIVE look:

So perfectly scripted (& twisted) by Mom Nature to present the possibility of wintry precipitation around April 1st...

Because one needs a savory dinner to balance out , I made a lasagna. And it doesn't suck.

"Snow overperforming in this area", said the meteorologist. Be safe out there.
See you on the news.

03/24/2017

When it snows, I get out in it. It's what I do.
2:15 PM. Starting to pick up. Sticking where you are?

03/23/2017

When the boundary between cold & mild gets stuck close to home...
Means clouds + flakes + drops at times.
Murky pattern (with weekend break).

Well, she's no pup anymore, but I still ❤️ me some Emma Thunder!

Relax. There's still plenty of mild-ish air in the 7-10 day forecast.
But tomorrow morning's not included.

03/22/2017

One U.S. state fully in below-normal temperature expectations as we head into April. You guessed it. Because Maine.

Snow squalls mark the arctic front. Here it comes. Let's see if this area of snow makes the coast. The cold & wind will. Have a great day. 🌅💨❄️⛅️

03/21/2017

I literally don't know what I'm talking about here. Maybe you cool kids can explain.

03/21/2017

Arctic front spins up a low pressure over E. Maine. Snow squalls MAY produce 3-5" there, 1-3" common. Blowing & drifting, too, with wicked NW winds.
