Were you raining for a while there?

Short while.  Maybe a half hour?  And even then it was light - only 0.02".  I know the peninsula proper and adjacent areas right (and I mean right, like your place) on the water rained for 2 hours, give or take.

I'm centered 3mi from the water on all sides and that was enough to make a difference.  Driving around during that time, the difference between 35/36° was the line and it was an immediate line.

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

It’s easy to forget how potent these events can be given the inverted flake jokes. But when a real deal norlun comes around they can dump over a good area in a short amount of time.

It’s on that borderline of shovel or snowblow for me. If I snowblow I leave an inch that gets packed down and turns to ice or I bust my ass to get it near dirt level.

Six inches…shovel it. The exercise will be beneficial. If you had a a foot…then of course blow it.

Brian,  you got more snow than me.    5.25" final. (around 17" season) I thought I would have had a bit more being slightly closer to the Norlan?   

Merry Christmas to all.

I just checked the cocorahs map and it looks like there was a mini local max zone through here. It’s still a hair over 6”on a level out there despite some settling. I guess the banding lined up just right. And yes, I hope everyone either had a happy Hanukkah or has a Merry Christmas.

OT but we spent a weekend in that general area at Sebasco Harbor last summer.. Beautiful area.  Loved Popham Beach.

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

One of those swirling bands is tickling us with some nice snowfall again this morning.  Nice change of pace from the past few years and about as festive as you can get!
