Still about 20 miles northwest of Portland, Maine. storm is onm the wind-down side. Winds are brisk but lighter that at the peak. We got a whopping 4 inches of dry snow. Wind prevented accumulation on tops of cars. I’ll likely wait until it is “all done” to move it, three hours from now by rough estimate.
Dogs having a blast in this stuff!
They now “NAME” these storms. Going to check with a real expert in historical weather and the patterns repeated of these occurrences over decades (reflecting the solar cycle and many other factors known to professional meteorologists for well nigh 30 plus years).
Check in on Saturdays for the free Weather Bell update from Joe. For a little money you can get real professional commercial value weather predictions and patterns. Not something from the “rainbow boy” toot who started Weather Underground (the name alone should give a clue. And it is now part of a Big Weather outfit— acquired).

I lived in Central Jersey as a kid for the Blizzard of ‘66.
Six inches of snow shut the schools down for a whole week.
Since we were from Buffalo, my mom saw the snow and started getting us ready for school as usual, when she got the phone tree call that school was cancelled.
She asked why and the other mother said it was because of the snow. My mom replied with “We only got six inches. How much do you have?”
The other woman said “Yes! Six inches!!!! Can you believe it?!?!?!”.
They were shocked at the huge amount of snow. We had a great time that week being off school.
How long before they start naming thunderstorms?
We got 20 inches in my town. A town nearby got 30 inches.
They’ve begun naming winter storms?
We have become such wimps (collectively.)
Man, I remember growing up in Southeast Asia reading about all of the snow problems over here. We enjoyed beautiful weather, smelled the flowers and had wonderful Asian food. Nothing was frozen. Just a little bit of TET Offensive, that’s all. Then we came back to Texas. More of almost the same, minus the TET Offensive. It’s rough down here.
