THE WEATHERMAN GOT IT WRONG

They said the high to day would be 13.   It was 15.

You have to be my age when you remember weather predictions coming from the Farmers Almanac and wooly worms.

I have said it before BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR

After a January of freakishly warm weather for Maine, it seems we have moved into the catch-up mode.  

Four days ago we had a nor-easter dropping eight inches of snow, Saturday – yesterday – we picked up six more inches of light powder.  Tonight we have a blizzard forecast with winds gusting to forty knots and snow accumulation well over a foot, with a good chance we will lose power.  

We are in the 14 to 20 range

And another storm forecast for Wednesday and Thursday that could drop another foot. 

I love the winter and I love the snow.   The question now is where to put it all?   Roads are getting narrow and banks high. 

But at least it is cold and it is snow.   It is the rain/snow/sleet I dislike.
