Over the past couple of days and I guess a few more days moving forward, we’re supposed to be entertained by meteor showers. I was outside last night off and on throughout the later part of the evening, but saw nothing.
In the winter, when I hear my phone tell me I have a text and it is 4 am, I know it is about a nasty weather. So today, when I hear the text tone, I had to wonder. Yep. Wintery weather is on the way.
It looks like Friday will be a wet and snowy day.
Hopefully we are now having the last measurable snowstorm of the 2012-2013 winter season. As annoying as it is to shovel and how inconvenient this weather is, it could be a lot worse. I think after this season we need to thank the plow drivers a little for keeping the roads clear. Snow plow drivers both contracted and those who work for the Department of Transportation (D.O.T.)
What a close call today for the buses. Had they been on the roads for just another 5 or 6 hours, they might have had some snow to contend with! Good thing Mother Nature can't pull one over on us Mainers, huh?
This all may be ShadowDog's idea of a good time, but not for most of us. A winter storm spanning 20 states dumped more than a foot of snow in some places yesterday. In fact about 60 million people, about 20% of the U.S. population, were under winter weather warnings.
As I backed into my driveway I knew something had gone terribly awry when I found myself looking toward the passenger side rear-view mirror and staring at the lawn.
You know all of that snow sitting outside your window that's turning into an icy mess as the days progress? Want to watch how it got there? Oh, good!
As the blizzard begins to move out, all that’s left is the cleanup.
The question is, how much is there to clean up?
Maximum speed limits have been lowered to 45 miles-per-hour at the request of Maine State Police Troop G.
As we wait for the latest storm of the century to bear down on Maine, I am left to contemplate the fact that this huge storm is named after A DISNEY FISH?
