Thanks for the update wont be long now!!!

this is great -- if the ground freezes first, otherwise..................................

the ground up north is pretty well crusted over, we went to mapleton last weekend and the first 1 -1.5" of the top was froze so the snow should hold as long as temps stay low.

Looks like another near miss on this one, we are going to be in the warm sector unfortunatly..... :frech32:

get used to it.

Temps haven't stayed low, was 50 here in Houlton today... frost is out of the ground again... but the forecast for the northern end of the county (Ft Kent, Madawaska, Allagash) looks promising:

FRIDAY...MOSTLY CLOUDY. A CHANCE OF SNOW IN THE MORNING...THEN SNOW
LIKELY IN THE AFTERNOON. SNOW ACCUMULATION UP TO AN INCH. HIGHS
IN THE LOWER 30S. NORTH WINDS 10 TO 15 MPH. CHANCE OF SNOW 70
PERCENT.
.FRIDAY NIGHT...SNOW. SNOW ACCUMULATION OF 4 TO 8 INCHES
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE FAR NORTH. LOWS IN THE LOWER
20S. EAST WINDS 10 TO 20 MPH. CHANCE OF SNOW 90 PERCENT.

.SATURDAY...CLOUDY. SNOW IN THE MORNING...THEN A CHANCE OF SNOW
SHOWERS IN THE AFTERNOON. TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATION 6 TO 9 INCHES.
HIGHS IN THE UPPER 20S. SOUTH WINDS 5 TO 10 MPH...BECOMING WEST 10
TO 15 MPH IN THE AFTERNOON. CHANCE OF SNOW 90 PERCENT.
.SATURDAY NIGHT...CLOUDY WITH A 50 PERCENT CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS.
LOWS AROUND 15. WEST WINDS 10 TO 20 MPH.
