Maine is Canada. It's a miss for New England. Sorry.  

I understand that this particular post may have been meant with well-intended humor.  I am not directing my response to WxWatcher007, but to a considerable number of frothy urban dweller/forum members in the southern part of New England.

I have been a member of this forum for well over a decade.  I made the transition, with many of you from Eastern WX Forum. 

I lurk, I read, and on rare occasion, post.

I have been grateful, on many occasions, for the wisdom and timeliness of so mamy posts over the years as I made staffing, deployment, and planning decisions in emergency management over a thirty-plus year law enforcement career in Southern Maine...less than 100 miles from Boston.

I have been amused by the amount of weenies tossed hither and yon as storms did what storms do.

I am some god-awful tired of the amount of flatlanders that live further from Boston than I do forgetting geography as it relates to the name of this sub-forum.

I am retired, finally, but not yet old, and am in the mood to resort to means heretofore unavailable to me to remind some of you young (and not so young) idiot whippersnappers that Maine is indeed a part of New England.  FFS.

Having said that, I go prepare for a fairly significant event in my little piece of New England.

slow indeed.  From zero to moderate in the last 45 minutes just south of you.

To be fair, this is a false dichotomy. 

One must be pretty and fluent in computer graphics to be correct with a forecast?  Or did I read the critique of MS Paint incorrectly?

Correct. I would murder to be a met paid to cover the weather. Using ms paint to make a forecast? When you have one of the few met jobs available? Just lazy to me. That's it. I'm done whining about him

Don Kent used a chalkboard.  Would you rather be pretty, or right?

Buckled up....let's see if Mr. N Stream takes the dive and gives me the crushing GOM slowdown/capture.    Returning to professional lurking mode after using my one post per winter format.
