Snowstorm came together after all

Remember last week when we were talking about the scenario that, if the pieces came together right, there could be a big snowstorm for the Eastern U.S. Well, the pieces did come together for a massive snowstorm over part of the Eastern U.S. ... the far northern part of it. Much of Maine was walloped by 1 to 2 feet of snow, much of it heavy, wet snow that sagged trees and broke power lines. Click here for the story.

Today's chilly winds will gradually give way to milder weather most of this week.

  1. To put into perspective how bad a storm it was, 12% of the state is without power due to the heavy wet limb-breaking snow.

  2. Hopefully yhe upcoming pattern will bring some good rains. The moisture keeps missing us north...a friend of ours in Ottowa has been absolutely slammed with snow this year and is ready for it to be over up there. I asked her to send some of that down here!
