Best flakes/rates of the event so far right now. Plus, the Pats didn't get skunked. Win/Win

Some coastal enhancement happening right over PWM, can see it on radar. Eyeballing close to 4". https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=local-S_Maine-comp_radar-24-1-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined

been a long week and he's a turd. sue me.

you know what's good, donkey? The fact that it's snowing out right now. s*** it.

2.0" on .17 liquid as of 7PM in PWM. Currently 29.7F

Started at 2PM at 37F in PWM. Down to 31F and guessing about an inch so far. Whitened up pretty quickly. Good growth and fairly wet snow.

More further north in Southern ME? Or do we risk scalping too?

What's that little redeveloping feature showing up in the last 2 frames just off shore from Saco bay (south of Casco Bay). Point that sh*t at me, make it stationary, and let's get this party rockin'. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=subregional-New_England-comp_radar-24-1-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined

Thanks for this explanation. Even if this system misses there is a lot to learn...thank you!

We are 5 days into meteorological winter, you fooking twits. The Panic Room thread is ---->

what are the signs i'm looking for to buy, if not today's dip?

waiting for one last dip in BTC before i make my first buy and hodl. hoping todays the day.

My general rule as well. Except for the snow blower. 6AM on weekdays, otherwise 8/9 on the weekend days respectively.

Called in my first report (of a mere Trace) last night, GYX office closed within 30 minutes due to unforeseen circumstances. Not a good harbinger for the rest of the season!

20.8F, heh. Wish my little frost pocket mattered when it comes to coastal rain/snow lines...

Use nematodes if you haven't treated yet. Grub Ex isn't always effective, not to mention you risk killing off a Possum, which eat tons of ticks.

In layman's terms, what is "large exposure"?

Yeah, no kidding. The first time I drove up that road after it was completely unrecognizable. So sad.

Knew someone on Paige Hilll road that had their home leveled, and they were one of about 8 homes that were shredded to the foundation on that road alone.

I've been wanting to expand my flock of 6 hens to a dozen, and ideally add a rooster and geese for predator protection. Maybe this'll allow that here in SoPo!

That's what frustrating. Nobody understands it, but is willing to vote for it (by an overwhelming majority - i think 61/39).

that's the thing. we can. we passed a referendum in case some day some corporation decides we can't, or something. wild.

Ha, that's what's confusing about this. Were you ever concerned that someone was going to tell you that you can't grow tomatoes? Or buy seeds for a new variety of tomatoes? Or save your seeds from last year? It's a referendum to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

I thought this one passed? Dumb referendum is right, though... From this article: https://bangordailynews.com/2021/10/17/homestead/what-you-need-to-know-before-voting-on-maines-right-to-food-referendum-joam40zk0w/ The legislators who wrote the bill have said that they worry in the future that the government might create roadblocks and restrictions on what Mainers can grow. Rep. Billy Bob Faulkingham, R-Winter Harbor, testified earlier this year before the Legislature’s agriculture committee that he is concerned that companies like Monsanto may “own all the seeds” in the future, and gardening may become “a luxury reserved for the rich.” Making amendments to the state constitution based on something that MIGHT happen in the future is a dangerous move. Nobody is being denied the right to grow their own food and save seeds right now.

And oddly enough people who are truly environmentally conscious opposed this, too. As Eaves pointed out, it was a complex mix opposed to this thing. That map is interesting dryslot. Look at Cape Elizabeth as the outlier voting for the corridor.
