So Far No Shooting Stars For Me, You?

Greg Michaels — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 16:11:51 +0000

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.

A Winter Weather Advisory for Friday! Spring Weather is Wacky in Maine

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.

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. Actually, I noticed that Matt was up near the garage with his passenger door opened and I thought little Evan may be wandering about so I [...]

Ummm, Why Is This Blizzard Named 'Nemo'?

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? Seriously, people at the Weather Channel have gone a bit too far with this one, naming winter storms as if they were hurricanes. [...]
