moneypitmike Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Mid coast Bath east to DE Maine is the zone I think you are right but that rain/snow line is going to be real close. When I lived in Bath, we used to get some taint, but it would always be late in the game. Cool Spruce would be my 'benchmark'. If he was good, I was good. If he tainted, it was time to count the minutes. Where is Cool Spruce anyway? Did he never make the move from Eastern to American? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I think you are right but that rain/snow line is going to be real close. No, Not even close, they are -4/-8, @ H85 and H925mb, They stay isothermal throughout the storm on what i can see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 But it adds inches to snowstorms. Indeed. I'm in North Conway and just read like 15 pages. Took over an hour! Anyway, snow started falling just after I got off the mountain.. wasn't expecting snow this early. Drive home in a few is gonna suck but small price to pay. Viva winter!
