CT Valley Snowman

Power back on here at 7:10 PM. I hit a couple of détours trying to get back to Flying Pond on 41 from Farmington due to downed trees and wires.

Took 134 to the New Sharon Dunkin Donuts a few times this week. Hard to beat the views as far as a quick car ride is concerned. Taking the kids to hike Bald Mountain Preserve in Camden tomorrow morning. Usually it's Bald Mountain or Mt Blue in Weld, but I'm out of hiking shape and we are looking to try something a bit different outside of the Kennebec Highlands trails near us.

Family cabin on Fying Pond

Meh here so far in Mt. Vernon Maine. A few rumbles now, a bit of thunder, a flash of lighting. and some light rain earlier.

Seems like wagons SW as far as NW Maine is concerned.

Yeah tons of clouds and smoke here in Maine. Temps are underperforming.

Starting to get interested in this up in Maine on vacation. Being in the woods at a cabin surrounded by huge trees. Easy to lose power at this location.

Keeping an eye on Tuesday night up here in Maine for bangers. Hopefully the timing can speed up to take advantage of max instability because other parameters are impressive.

Party's over as the rain and storms are rolling in here in Maine after being dry since last Friday when we arrived.

Here ya go, Mainers, lol. Courtesy of Jason Nappi.

Looks like today really saved the event from a bust back home Closing in on 2.5 at a local PWS.

I'm very happy. Not a drop here in Maine for vacation. Maximizing lake activities and keeping tents and outdoor things dry while at the same time knowing we got a good drink back home to alleviate the burnt dry vegetation.

Looks like I've crept just over 2" in my area. I'll take that and run.

Looks like a bit over 1" now at home. Nothing too heavy, just a nice soaking rainfall to help alleviate the dry conditions.

This is what we are. A very good but not top level team. Can't make mistakes like they did tonight and expect to beat a top 10 team.
