Thats why i posed the question. I remember the fires from 9/11 in NYC on radar and they were much smaller than this. The only reason that came to mind was the direction of the plumes follows the wind direction and the way its wiggling back and forth looks like it would be smoke.
What do you mean he left? His user name is still there he just hasnt posted in a few days.
Anyone know whats going on with CARs radar? Is there a fire in Canada?
Normally i wouldn't create a map for such little snowfall but under the circumstances i felt like it was justified. Rare May snow. Not many reports to go off of so i did the best with what i had.
It's snowing here as well, not graupel or mixed r/s or mangled flakes, light snow and flurries. And it's 44F. About the warmest i've ever seen snow. I think i've seen it closer to 50F before but i cant confirm the exact temp.
How rare is this for northern Maine? I feel like ive seen snow plenty of times in maine up there. The records are pretty low for CAR, for any given date in the first half of may.
