Crazy to think this was likely over within 30 minutes of the act. I think he did it and ended himself pretty quickly afterward. Glad you and your community can have that closure.

Sorry for your loss Jeff.

Yeah and even if he killed himself in the woods somewhere he theoretically may never be found… always leaving people left to wonder.

6z GFS is interesting for a 4-day prog. Like this is no fantasy land stuff. NAM has it a bit further north.

DIT’s birthday snower bash.

They always know more info then they let on, yeah. I still think he’s in the area… if he makes it a few days, eventually someone will come home or visit a place to find it was broken into it a home alarm is tripped… and call the police, and the entire weight of US law enforcement will descend on the woods in the area of that burglary. Like the prison break in N.NY… you think they could be anywhere, but the police know the odds are that people on the run stay local or move slow. I bet the police are flipping out at every home burglar alarm that gets called in by a security company within most of Maine.

Yeah, I bet they play the odds and it’s that he’s still in the area bedded down. But get in an unknown vehicle, shave and alter appearance a bit, maybe hide in plain sight? There’s no way they locked the area down fast enough to stop someone from driving out/away before it became apparent what was happening. If that guy has a slightly altered appearance (hair color or glasses) and is passing through Scranton, PA, do we think anyone would notice?

Duce could be in Chicago by car at this point.

Even that. 350 state and federal officers searching and they didn’t check his Dad’s house or put agents on the house immediately? Still seems weird.

How the hell are they just getting him at his house? That thing should’ve been picked apart within an hour of the shooting when they had his name. And then if he wasn’t there… how’d he get back without them noticing?

What the records this time of year down there?

Good stuff, George. It’s obvious you put some real time and effort into this and in the end, the learning is all the matters. Thanks for the posts.

Wish we had some sun. Mid-upper 60s but thick dark clouds all day.

Broadcastify scanner usage is high. The radio calls of two-man car teams searching is worth listening to if you like that stuff. A county in ME is the most listened to frequency is the nation right now. https://m.broadcastify.com/listen/ctid/1173

Looking for this guy. He looks like everyone in NNE to be honest. You walk into a gas station up north here and a guy looking like this is in there. The facial hair, hoodie/relaxed clothing, you wouldn’t think otherwise.

The fact that he’s at-large means the largest police response in the history of the state of Maine is likely taking place. Federal, state, adjacent state agencies… the good news is you know that no resources are being spared and the US has one of the most trained law enforcement responses in the world.

There’s a growing apathy in society. This disassociation. Plus firearms. This is one that will renew discussions in the country. A Maine bowling ally. No where is safe; that’s a wholesome scene. The whole community will be forever changed locally and in Maine. Vibes go out to the Mainers.

Jesus fucking Christ. Glad you and loved ones are safe. What the actual fuck.

If it turns out that snowfall is inversely related to Ken’s business levels, it’s going to put folks here in a tough spot, ha. Hope he takes one for the team economically? Don’t want to see it.

Picking up where last winter left off?

Feels amazing out. Shorts back on.

God that was brutal on the slopes, most places closed. -28 followed by -35, wind chills -65F. For Wolfie… on Mansfield last February had the 2nd coldest reading during the second half of any winter since records started in 1954 with -35F (record was -36F in 1967). February also set 3 daily record mins. Maybe that off-sets the record late freeze 8 months later?

48F here too. A couple brief showers. Trying to warm up as the peak is losing its white cap.

Oh absolutely. For the record, not panicked in any way and hope it’s never insinuated it’s a predictive indicator. Its just a very interesting climo stat we’ve got going. Plenty of folks locally asking me about it as the growing season is still on and they know it’s very late.

It was even raining briefly this morning. We have not yet this fall been able to get a full night of radiational cooling; several times it’s been super cold for 9pm standards and then it just sits or rises after midnight. Poor timing leading to really late freeze.
