New storm for mid week next week. Currently projected to bomb in the Gulf of Maine, into a serious Nor'easter, with 12-18 inches of snow, and howling winds, for about 24 hours Tuesday PM to Wednesday PM, with snow flurries again on Mid Thursday.

Fun Fun Fun....one more chance to use the snow thrower. She'll be happy.

Have been watching that also. One minute they call it a Nor'easter, and next time- barely more than a few inches.
Personally- I am hoping for snow....

Yea and we are seeing 5-8 inches Tuesday night, then 1-3 Wednesday am.
We have bare ground with big ice patches now, and the dogs are not having any fun at all when they go out. I think they are starting to get cabin fever....

Here in Aurora, ME, 0℉/-17.78℃, Dew Point -6℉/-21.11℃, Winds WNW 11mph/17.70kph, Partly Cloudy..

Awoke to sun shining through the windows this morning, drew the drapes to stand for a moment, absorbing the light....Enjoying a steaming hot cup of organic, dark roast coffee and pondering the day as I gaze out the windows beholding the Birch Meadows...Bare and tan is the grass that is now absent of snow....Icebergs skim across her, where snow drifts once were...Outrageously high drifts have led us to investigate snow fences for the future...
Awaiting the storm...(and possibly up to 18" of snow). I'm hoping it will just pass out to sea....Like many others, I'd prefer not to have to dig out after another snowstorm and either miss or be late to work....It's not so bad if the storm comes on a weekend and we have a day after to dig out, but this beginning of the week or mid-week stuff can be tiring...
In the meantime, still enjoying our three day weekends while we work four-10 hour days....It truly allows us time...time to do what we enjoy the most....experiencing this beautiful land and it's seasons, together!

Now they are predicting another good storm for this coming weekend.

This weekend we have a Winterseed in Maine. That's an Appleseed in Winter conditions. Earn your Rifleman patch in winter conditions and you earn a blue, white and black patch with icicles hanging off the bottom. This will be conducted in real winter conditions since we have another storm coming for the weekend. It will be like George Washington's battle of Trenton.

Project Appleseed teaches history and marksmanship. We teach about what happened on April 19, 1775 at Lexington and Concord when we sent the Redcoats back to Boston empty handed. How did a bunch of farmers, blacksmiths and ministers defeat the most powerful army in the word? Marksmanship. In addition to the story we teach our shooters how to take a rack grade rifle and reliably hit a 20 inch square target at 500 yards.

After April 19, 1775, the British were never able to leave Boston by land again. They sailed out to sea and went to Nova Scotia and Long Island. It's an amazing story and it is not taught in most schools today.

Monmouth, Maine. 8:30 AM both days. dress warmly. This is a Maine winter weather event.
