Craziness. With lows -20F in northern ME, I would think we'd be fearing suppression depression and not cutters, but goes to show you what little I know.

If we got a stronger low to develop off the coast and avect some of that down would have done it, But with it more of a SWFE its a slow drain

started around 10:30 with very light graupel or snow grains...dunno, but they weren't ice and you could here them. Now light snow with some of that harder stuff still mixed in. Flakes are very small. Real cold and has the look of the stat of snowstorm.

I'm going down to Logan later so you'll have to depend on Dendrite for the obs up here, as well as Jeff and Eric downstream.

The airmass/min-vortex didn't press that far south was the biggest issue. It was moving more ESE when it got near N Maine rather than SE or SSE which would have really pressed colder/drier air southward. Similar to 12/16/07...that one actually had less impressive temps in northern Maine...but due to trajectory, we had a lakes cutter essentially turn into a big SWFE with high snow totals. Worse trajectory in this one makes for not as much CAD resistance. There will still be plenty of CAD, but just not as good as it could have been.

How warm this week? Can we stay in 30's all week or do we get 40's ?

SR days and days of snow, feet and feet. What a great setup for skiers. Not sold on the next one being warm up there either. Sweet, road trip next Friday Saturday.

Each run we seem to be getting a few ticks colder as well, That area, The mtns of NW Maine and the Northern Maine county are going to get blasted
