Maybe.  Last year we had a wet May and a near-constant rainy June, and we feared the worst.  Instead, black flies and mosquito populations were less than usual, and we had the fewest deerflies since we lived in Gardiner.  BN tick attachments also.

Global warming no doubt.

Looks like 18 here in Westborough.  8 up at Pit2.

LFG

Time to start counting down the weeks

I'm not sure what the overnight low was, but it's 7* now at Pit2.  I don't think we got anywhere near single digits at Pit1 this winter.

I can see a little bit now.....still ripping.  Picked up an 1" in about 15-20 minutes.

There’s a house 200 yards from here in this picture.

Nice squall coming through Pit2 at the moment   Near 0 visibility.

* Snow Squall Warning for...
Lincoln County in south central Maine...
East central Cumberland County in southwestern Maine...
Sagadahoc County in south central Maine...

* Until 430 PM EST.

* At 349 PM EST, a dangerous snow squall was located along a line
extending from 9 miles southeast of Augusta to near Topsham, moving
east at 20 mph.

HAZARD...Flash freeze on roads. Intense bursts of heavy snow.
Gusty winds leading to blowing snow and visibility
rapidly falling to less than one-quarter mile. Wind gusts
up to 35 mph.

SOURCE...Radar and webcams.

IMPACT...Travel will become difficult and potentially dangerous
within minutes.

For those who care about such things:

Popping back in here from the storm thread.  Are we back to discussing spring here?

Ginxy band

 

thd heavy stuff was really nice for about 2 hours.  Niw kust light with the back edge approaching.  
 

im sure we had more than the 4.5 before compaction.   Considering I want to bed thinking we are going to be skunked, a big win.

4.5” at 11:30.

Eyeballing 3-4.  Less on paved surfaces with temp a balmy 33-34

Really lightened up.  Hopefully it reinvigorateslest I fall short of the lie-end 3 in my p/c

Can we end the save the horse bullshit. Just end it:

From radar, ,it looks like once that heavier band from Sharon, CT-the Hilltowns in western MA comes through, we'll be done here.

I'm in the band that extends from the NE CT band up toward where ever that is north of Boston--Newburyport, maybe?  Decent rates and flakes.

Yes....started at 6:00.  eyeballing about an 1, maybe a bit less.

Messenger shuffle is a move to the south in the last 24hrs according to Scott (Messenger) RIP, His best phrase was he would like to bang the Ruc model as that was his model choice.

Absolutely correct.  When I coined the term, i was living in GC.  Messenger would start reporting in RUC runs while pointing to echos off the Delmarva and how they were shifting what had been GC snow to him.  The shuffles were in the hours before and even during the storm.

Lawn thread anyone?

Really big midnight models coming! Must stay tuned!

staying up tonight will be a waste of time.  Check the radar at 9 and go to bed. 

My work just sent out a “we’ll notify you this evening” message.  Kicking the can.

That’s a helluva lot of zones.  Need to push the NE corner of the  jack 5 miles east.  
 

j/k. Good luck!
