although I am not from Maine, I understand 100% what you mean since I live in northern Vermont most of the year and northern New England needs the snow. Snowmobiling is a HUGE economic driver for maine in the winter, I actually go to Rangeley and beyond several times a year but this year has been horrible. I was actually hoping this thing would come inland and turn into the Gulf of Maine and give Northern New England a shot for once. But this is what happens in this type of pattern and I don't see it breaking anytime soon. I agree with all of your comments below 100%. Well done.

Thanks Matt.

I'm getting plenty of squealing weenies for my post. Good.

Snow wastrels. Suburbanists for whom hardship is a delayed plow.

at 24 hours...GFS is digging the shortwave more than the 06z and 00z runs...and 500mb heights are slightly higher over the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast...I think it comes in slightly more tucked in than the previous two runs.

It's actually VERY similar to the NAM through 24.

But again that's been the case for a week or three, it's after 36 where it goes to sh** every time.

Another disaster for N. Maine.

All winter snow is being wasted on dilletantes who think snow's purpose is to be sculpted in to perfect snowbanks.

Suburban and city tyros who squeal delightedly when their snow cancels classes at the community college nearby.

Snow is lifes blood up here. Thousands of businesses are dependent upon it for their sustenance and it has not appeared at all.

An unprecedented economic disaster is unfolding up here in N. Maine. True hardship is upon us here because of this horrible pattern.

S. New England's snow is squandered there. It's a decorative nuisance. An embellishment for bus route weenies. Lack of snow for them is psychic pain only.

No snow for us is economic disaster. Your celebrations in S. New England are as thoughtless as your snow is pointless.

Snow here is good, too. Makes people want to go skiing. Once they get there and find there's no snow, they'll just fill up the bars and restaurants.

But might I propose a Recovery-Act funded project to truck our snow up there?

I'm a happy wastrel.....jonesing to live in the Tug but needing to make a living for just a few more years....

The Tug would be a great place for you to wind up WxFella. Prior to last Jan I would have recommended up here but not with this persistent sea-change of a pattern.

I look forward to your posts no matter where you post from.

While I understand your pain - Our family used to own a cabin/motel complex in the heart of NYS snowmobile country. Lack of snow, means a miserable December to April season for the northern locales, I have to take issue with your comments.

Just because many here aren't dependant on the use of mother nature's bounty as an income generator doesn't mean that we can't or don't enjoy the white stuff, even those who dare I say enjoy the aesthetic properties of snow. "thoughtless" and "pointless"? - Give me a break. Using your logic, snow should only exist in places that rely on it to make a living - The land below southern New Hampshire and Vermont to the Long Island sound should just be a dead man's zone in the winter. There's no use in having people enjoying the sights and sounds of a southern New England winter, with all of that "pointless" snow.

We can all get just as miserable as the next person when storms don't pan out the way we expect, or want them to, but your rant has almost stepped onto the personal level for some.

This just balances the many times we've watch these SNE threads turn ugly as it dumped on in NNE. I'd be getting more frustrated if I were farther north tho since I think I'm still in the game for the biggest (not saying much) snow of the year from this.
