Fixed.

Steady fatties keeping it festive. Power’s been out for over an hour.

Wintry appeal this Christmas Eve.

A little drifting at the picnic table.

Wow on brunswick…just a 10 minute drive from here.

Temp has really fell off---dropped to 21* now. Time to fire up the snowblower.

Fantastic--congrats!

Good news is we can cool down before the Sunday/Monday event.

Snow to rain for mi casa.

Is that Jeff in the woods pointing the gun?

Based on the stationary look of things here, I'm guessing I'm done. 13"--exceeded my hopes and expectations.

I'm on the water---but it's the Kennebec, not the ocean. About 15 miles up river from Popham.

wind is cranking here.

Were you raining for a while there?

Temp down to 25* now. Radar is giving some hope that another band may pass through.

Has really lightened up now. Not sure how much might be left in the tank. Regardless--a really solid event. Especially for Jeff land!

Not great conditions for measuring because of the wind and blowing. Looks like about 13" so far. And a little damage for Kevin.

Might wind up with north of 15+ based on this. Today Snow, mainly before noon. The snow could be heavy at times. Temperature falling to around 23 by 5pm. North wind 5 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible.

I think it's notable that while some aspects of this system didn't play out as planned, the IT location was modeled really well by a lot of the models for several days. There was not a whole lot of flux about where it was going to line up. The mid-coast through Jeff had been the focus for a while. Meanwhile, power and internet keep flickering ftl. Looking forward to daylight to get a better sense of things.

Another transformer flash.

I thought that was just down here closer to the coast. It was evident walking the dog last night......clearing it will be a bitch.

You gotta love to see it. I haven't measured......I'm eyeballing about 10 so far--maybe more. An added bonus is the wind has started to crank--at least here on the water. Drifting is visible.

Lights keep flickering.......branches must be hanging on wires somewhere.

Last of my posts: HRRR keeps this going for another 2-3 hours. Early contender for the storm of the season for here. My P/C is calling for a new daytime 3-5. thought i heard a tree snap from across the river esrlier. Just now, we briefly lost ss a transformer blew. Power’s back, internet is gone though.

And so it is as GYX writes below. It is just dumping. My favorite part of this where it says "nearly stationary". 443 AM EST Wed Dec 24 2025 ...An area of heavy snow will affect Kennebec...west central Knox... northern York...Oxford...west central Waldo...Androscoggin...south central Somerset...Lincoln...Cumberland...Sagadahoc and southern Franklin Counties...
