I used to drive for a living all around Maine.   I remember driving past places in Maine in 1998 that were out of power for up to a month,  My office back then was in Standish, and over a week after it stopped raining Standish was looking like a war zone.   The Ice Storm of 1998 was a nightmare, and I really, really hope (wishcast?) that we dodge this bullet, as unlikely as it seems right now.

There is only one thing to do with a storm like this, drink heavily ;)

 

Storm?  At this point everything has been pushed so far NW it's really just a warm transition into a cold reload.   It may not be right and there's time to correct, but the models are just hell-bent at going against climo.  Really - it's like they have physical agenda to get to the 1::10 solution.

 

We just don't typically see 1032mb arctic air masses damming into ME merely hold up there.   Interesting.

Wheres my 60s? NAM maxes at 52/53

 

Until the snow pack is more heavily removed modulating the synoptic "warm look" downward a tick or few is probably the course of least regret.  This isn't like that first SW deep layer breeze you get during the mud season.  But, that warm sector on Sunday is getting deeper in the runs, so whomever does punch in will probably get some intense snow eating underway.

I gave my father the heads up on the ice because if they lose power up there, pipes burst and sump pump fails. Both not good. I'd go up if it weren't for a 1yr old.

I don't want utter destruction and 24hrs of ZR/ZL with temps in the U20s, but 6-12hrs of light glazing would be OK with me.

Well it's not like you will lose your pack. Maybe I will be wrong, but I have a hard time with the WF making it that far north. But, I suppose you could rot at like 33F while near 1,000ft gets siggy ice. I know up in Sandwich near 1,000ft was devastating in '98.

We don't want ice, 32-34 with rain sounds fine to me. I'm pretty sure coldfront wants it by the sound of his posts...

 

No, I do not want it, I already been thru the one 1998, I will take SN/PL though, But i don't have any say in the matter, All i know, From past CAD experiences, This area holds the cold
