... Winter Weather Advisory now in effect from midnight tonight to
6 am EST Saturday...
... Winter Storm Warning in effect from 4 PM EST Saturday to 1 PM
EDT Sunday...
The National Weather Service in Caribou has issued a Winter Storm
Warning... which is in effect from 4 PM EST Saturday to 1 PM EDT
Sunday. The Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect from
midnight tonight to 6 am EST Saturday. The Winter Storm Watch is
no longer in effect.
Snow will develop across the region around midnight and end by
early Saturday morning. Snow may mix with sleet and freezing rain
especially south of a Clayton Lake to Caribou line late. Expect
snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches with ice accumulation around a
tenth of an inch by Saturday morning.
Another more significant storm system will approach the region
from the southwest late Saturday afternoon and then move across
the state on Sunday.
Precipitation associated with this system will begin in the form of
snow and then mix with sleet and freezing rain Saturday evening.
Total snow accumulations will range from 6 to 10 inches across
northwest Maine and 4 to 8 inches across the remainder of the
region. Total ice accumulation will range from a quarter to half
inch... mainly south of presuqe Isle.
This storm will have a high impact on the warning area. A
combination of snow... sleet... and freezing rain will frequently
limit visibilities to less than one half mile. Though winds will
be light... snow and sleet will accumulate rapidly making removal
difficult. Expect snow and sleet covered roads to cause travel
hardships. Freezing rain will cause a glaze of ice on
roads... trees... buildings and power lines. The weight of the ice
may cause a few tree limbs to snap with isolated power outages
possible. Untreated roads will be ice covered and slippery.

Honey, I'm SO sorry. We're getting rain - we're under a flood watch until Monday morning - and I'm offering up prayers of gratitude that it's not coming to us as snow. Stay safe and warm...
Be sure to bundle up!
Hope you have enough hot cococa.
Snow must suck, "huh? Especially a million years of it.
It's only raining here.
We've had our snow melting away. Still have not seen grass below the snow yet ... not since early October! But we're gettin' there. Seems much of the Lower 48 gets walloped by storms from time to time while we just get cold and snow from October thru March, same thing all the time. While it might be starting to somewhat melt away, we're still a ways off from t-shirt weather!
