GRAY, Maine — With dozens of school districts closed Monday in Southern Maine, the state is preparing for a pre-Christmas storm that is expected to include up to 8 inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service.
As of Monday morning, the weather service said that a weak low pressure system will continue over Maine, bringing snow and also bouts of freezing rain. The weather service expects a second, more significant area of low pressure to develop off the coast Monday night with western Maine seeing more snow Tuesday.
“Snow moves in this afternoon and evening as low pressure approaches from the upper midwest, then redevelops along the mid-Atlantic coast Monday,” the agency’s website states.
There is a winter weather advisory for a majority of the western part of the state and a winter storm warning for Franklin and Oxford counties. Western Maine could get up to 8 inches of snow Monday. Tuesday’s temperature in Maine is expected to be slightly higher than Monday, and a mix of snow and rain is expected to continue then, the weather service reports.
Bangor needs some snow
no we dont
Yes we do… we need a white Christmas
Party pooper!!
Yes they do, then maybe they would lose power and we wouldnt see any stupid posts from the basement dweller Bangorian…LOL
Stevey You sure hit the nail on the head with that comment. The best part of him ran down his father’s leg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
father’s?
And for what reason, may I ask??—Lol
Because We Need It! We need to make up for last year
Kill Japanese Beetle larve and other nasty bugs.
Snow Plowers need some extra cash for Christmas.
Time to go skiing
It is Canadian Snow,and cannot cross the border until the storm secures a passport.
I hope they are prepared and can handle it…LOL
Let it snow. There’s nothing worse than bare ground and bone-chilling weather. Pipes freeze and so do people and animals!
Don’t be such a wuss. We need a deep frost to keep the snow longer and to make sure logging crews can get into the swamps.
Snow ??
You can have it.
Ive grown to enjoy sunny days with the temp above freezing.
We farmers, on the other hand, appreciate that normal winter weather is what rebuilds soil moisture supplies as well as what refills streams and ponds.
Don’t listen now, but your food bill is whispering to you: “be careful what you wish for stepchild.”
Yes Farmer B,
snow does much good in many regards for the land.
As a gardener it does help my trees , vines, roots and bulbs
rest in peace as they miraculously burst forth in the spring.
I remember growing up on our farm checking fences and tending the stock in those old fashioned snowy winters.
I guess the animals didnt mind the snow on their backs and their breath freezing on their whiskers.
I never could figure why the horses would stand out in a storm, back to the wind of course , and let it blow/snow.
They had a nice cozy barn but didnt seem to care.
Likewise ,stamping through the woods and stomping 2-3 feet
of snow down enough to cut our trees clean at the butt.
And it twitched (skidded) out nice and clean to the wood yard
to be cut to length.
The woodstove , crispy hot ,dry clothes and a plate of beans never felt so good as after a day in the snowy Maine woods.
Sliding down the road after the plow had gone by was an old fashioned thrill.
Kids these days cant be bothered with such trivial pursuits.
But it was what we lived for back in the good old days.
Poor mans fertilizer.
wow.. comments about the weather?
Still waiting for it to become political….
good! We need snow! I like that it looks nice and it will bank my house, keeping me warm. A thank you in advance to the plow drivers who keep up with it.
your welcome
My grandkids are still waiting for a BIG snowstorm. They want to see their poor ol’ Grandpa re-enact his often-repeated story about having to trudge 5 miles through waist-deep snow, (uphill both ways) to get to the village grocery store.
You forgot “while barefoot.”
;-)
Do we close school for everything now?
Reminds me of that Dunkin Donuts comm. one flake and they close school
Okay… where is this storm we were promised? Here in Bangor weve had a couple flurries but thats it.
Yup, nothing downeast either. Was hoping to get some plowing done. Then again it would be nice to have more driveways to plow.
Love It!
