Seems like you guys are chasing the end of an unmanned firehose as its flopping around from one run to the next

That's certainly what it looks like to us lurkers. So glad you professional sorts think the same thing. It feels like we've been tracking this since 2015, but it's only been a week.

Every weather forum on the Internet would like to thank the 12Z Euro for the weenie run that was desperately needed to revive interest in Lee.

I was wondering when this was going to happen. Can't we just go with the 12Z GFS instead?

35, clear here with the moon bright but a bit hazy. Clouds to the west, hugging the mainland.

Tiny flakes finally falling out here on Casco Bay. Temps dropped from 31 to 27 in last 20 mins.

Been pretty much 20-30mph sustained with a couple low 40's until this last one.

15-20mph sustained winds on Casco Bay. Ferry canceled three downbay afternoon runs. Probably 8"-9" snow but constant wind leaving some spots bare and 12"-18" drifts against buildings, so hard to tell. Depth gauge clearly frozen. No whiteout conditions to brag about.

Heading to Point Judith now.  When else in my life will I be able to go through a Landfalling Tropical System!!  

Lunch at Aunt Carries? You lucky dog!

I lived near the ocean, the solitude of a thunderous stormy winter day is top notch. Falling asleep to the sound of crashing wave after wave rocking you to sleep.  On huge wave da

High tide is 1300 feet away. Walked the beach this afternoon. The water was shimmering. Light wind, great view as far south southeast as Cape Elizabeth and northeast to Harpswell. Windows open at night so we hear the waves all year round. So soothing. What retirement is all about.

Pretty decent little ice storm up here in Cape Elizabeth.  I’d say about 0.5” of accretion? Definitely lost some branches out back.

We have been losing branches all morning out here on Long. Nothing too big, just lots of small stuff. Top temp so far was 35 with a break in clouds, already down to 33.

Wondered when one of you guys was going to wrap Bernie into a low.

14/6 broken cloud cover. Eager for afternoon's beginning snowfall.

Ignoring all the noise, really nice pivot and mid level banding right now 

Those of us to the east of Portland are ready. Sort of.

no way. I love cruising up and down the street doing power slides in the middle of a good snow storm. my cart is ready to go 12 months a year. knobby tires and lift kit help though.

Wow! I'm impressed. But. But. But. There's usually some heavy weather or a storm around 12/5 that precipitates (pun intended) this wrap up (another pun intended). It's got a full tank of gas, though, so like the VW in the movie Sleeper, it will start up for any emergency.

I've already pulled the Genny out in full anticipation of losing power up here.

So that means I have to put away the golf cart? It's still so warm.

• Gusts to 24 out here. .01 rainfall.  Unimpressive as expected.  Dark & stormy but *way* too warm for a fire in the fireplace.

Fog just came out of nowhere, drifting through our yard. No rain yet. Looking like more wind than much needed rain. 

Nice little patch of snow here the last hour, but it's its lightened up considerably. Meanwhile the temp has dropped from 36 to 33. Waiting for the rain to move in again.

1982 redux?

We could be putting the plows back on out here, although we are still too far out get too excited. If it does snow, it will fall on the same day as last year's last dump.

Got 2.5" sn before it changed to rain in the last 30 min. About 2.5." Now 34/33, which is warm enuf for snow to fall off the sides of the car. Not the storm I was hoping for, but it was the one forecast.  2/27 doesn't see to hold much promise for us either, but it's 9 days and mucho model runs away.

Moderate snow continues. Wind beginning to pick up - up near 10 mph. Temp up 7 degrees in just over an hour to 32.

Really coming down now, small flakes, nice cover. Perfect view on a Retirement Tuesday.  25/20

Fabulous, fantastic fatties falling far and farther. Winds n/nw at 4. 24/15.

Need to see some hint of pattern change and we’re just not seeing that 

Exactly, and the other thing working against us is days are getting longer and the sun is higher in the sky. In 4 weeks it will pretty much be over  except for a isolated dump that will quickly melt unless it is unseasonably cold and we have a lot of cloud cover.

We'd weed out quite a bit of weenies if we banned all those who blindly believe big snows are always coming...

And lurkers as well.
