Yup. Going to be great the next 2 days. Oh joy.

Be careful Moo!
Looks like it's gaining strength.

If you're up around Caribou, I know you get your fair share of snow.
My sister was at Loring AFB for four years.

Well - I won't take credit for sending it your way ... but it sounds like the crap we got last week.
YUCK!!!

maybe another Snow Day for you Moo?
Paint, I wish you got Snow Day's too ... but I don't think you do. Maybe moo will give you one of hers

We just caught the tail end. Nothing spectacular. I think less than 4 inches.
Started as rain - turned to snow - wind blew like a crazy for awhile - Sun out by noon.

A few tree limbs and power lines down.

Paint - Loring...haven't heard that in a long time. Loring is in Aroostook County and could get up to 2 ft of snow. Luckily Indian Island is in Old Town about 8 miles north of Bangor in Penobscot County. Check it out on Google maps.

Howler - I blame the Farmer's Almanac, which has been right so far. Darn. So hoping for a snow day tomorrow. Hopefully the powers that be will be wise enough to say stay home, tho some of us may do the smart thing and make our own snow day if they don't.

They let us leave at 3 pm today. Roads were crap...no surprise there. The lady I ride with almost got stuck at the end of my road where she turns around. The road hadn't been plowed and luckily she was able to get her car moving. About 5 minutes after she dropped me off, the end of the road was plowed. Right now it's snowing pretty heavy and the wind is blowing snow everywhere. Yup. Maine.

in a word ... MARCH's unpredictable weather.
start the mantra ... Spring is here-spring is here-spring is here.
