I'm in Old Town, Maine and it is snowing hard. Supposed to continue most of today. Can't tell how much we have because of the high winds drifting it. I see some 3 foot drifts in the yard. Prediction is for 12 to 18 inches. 10 degrees F now. I'm going to stay in today and keep the wood furnace humping. |

If you compare it to 1978 is it going to be worse then that year?? I remember that year well when we had to use a broom handle to find a dodge van and it had 3 foot antennas on the roof |

Still coming down here in Old Town, Maine. Supposed to stop in my area around 5 this afternoon. No way to tell how much because I am out in the open and it is blowing and drifting. The weatherman says 14 to 22 inches with high winds after it ends. Not looking forward to cleaning up this mess. |

Here on the MA/RI border we got about two feet. But the drifts between the house and the barn were more like four feet, so I had to put on snowshoes so I could go get the snowblower so I could clear enough snow around the truck so I could open the door so I could plow... Tomorrow once the winds quiet down I have to go up on some of our flat roofs and shovel the drifts off before we get some gnarly ice dams. |

Sure wish you could send a little of that down our way... misty this afternoon, but no rain. Supposed to get some this evening, but I'll believe it when I see it. My poor 240U is just sitting there waiting for some snow. Had one snow deep enough to use it in the last 5 years or so and didn't have any wheel weights on it then, so it was pretty much helpless with the bucket full of wet snow. |
