  1. Hope it's not too fresh. Other than the gas pumps at Irving (not their convenience store), none of the five businesses in the Farmington intervale have reopened since the Dec 18 flood. I was looking forward to trying the new Giffords' ice cream flavors there.
  2. 90 on the 25th??? I checked CLIMOD and the max that day was the 3rd consecutive 49.
  3. 0.36" RA thru 8 this morning then 0.04"/0.2" SN from then thru 9:30. During that 1.5 hr had 30 minutes of nice (wet) feathers trying to stick.
  4. True, but they got there by vastly different routes. 2010 was the tortoise, 2012 the hare. At my place: 2010 2012 Departure +7.4 +6.8 Top day dept +16 +27 Max temp 64 80 Min temp 11 -10 Days BN 3 11 Precip 6.44" 1.85" Snow 0.6" 14.6" IMO, "Jr 2012" should have multiple days with 70-75, here, not BDL.
  5. Probably not a coincidence that 104F is 40C.
  6. Last 3 days have dragged my month average from +11.3 down to a frigid +9.8.
  7. I inherited my dad's Ranger in 1994 and those rigs (1992 Ranger, 2004 Mazda, 2011 Ranger) been my commuter/work vehicle ever since, over 400k total miles. Only carries 1/4 cord of wood but I rarely have to transport the stuff more than a mile usually much less. Only 2WDs but I've found that if I can get up my driveway, I'll make it over Mile Hill, which climbs ~300' over that mile and has a sharp curve at the bottom to inhibit a fast-running start.
  8. That's +9.6. I've at +10.0 here, but 8 of the 12 days have been cloudy, we've had 4.08" of (mostly) rain and a lot of windy days (including today's mostly sunny). Kinda cuts into the warm feeling, but then early March climo is still winter here.
  9. We reached 36" on March 4 at the end of that day's 12" dump. Still had 24" on today's date (4" this year) and it rose to 28" from our share of the paste bomb. Our tiny share of the real event was getting 4.5" in 90 minutes as the sun was setting.
  10. 2010 was 0.64° milder than 2012 here, due mostly to consistent AN but no big heat. Other than being way AN for temp, the months were radically different, and this month (one BN day, the 1st, over 4" precip and tiny snow) is looking far more like 2010. 2010 extremes: 64/11 2012: 80/-10 (That 90° range is tops for any month I've measured. 2nd place is Jan 1979 in Fort Kent with 40/-47.) 2010 had 3 days with BN temps; 2012 had 11. 2010 had 13 days with temps 10+ AN; 2012 had 12. 2010 had 6.44" precip and 0.6" snow; 2012 was 1.85" and 14.6" snow.
  11. Most adaptable large animal in North America - they've been seen living in downtown LA and it wouldn't surprise me to hear of them in Manhattan. They've been in Maine for 90+ years.
  12. Looks like longitude (and elevation) was far more important than latitude for this event. Aroostook had little more than flurries. The only Maine site I saw that had more than 4-5" was Andover, though I've not seen the ski area totals - SR/SBk/SL probably had 10+.
  13. 7-8° AN here, may pull the month down to an even +10.

  15. Dec 18 cleaned out nearly all of them here, though it also created some replacements.
