Unfortunately N.O.A.A. had the predominant weather forecast correctly. It continued to snow all night, sometimes heavier and sometimes more lightly. I did not stay up to observe it, but I would guess that it did remain overcast. It got colder to with the low at 14.9°F. I even had to get out at 05:30 to start clearing the driveway so we could get out of the driveway. Right now the roads do not look really great for travel, so if you must be out be careful.


We Continue To Grow More Snow
The N.W.S. continues to call for more snow today, with light snow showers until 10:00 hours and steadier and heavier snow for the balance of the day. On the NEXRAD composite regional radar there is a snow squall south of Portland, and it is moving North. It appears to be aiming right for Wilton, Maine again. Just so you won't think I forgot the overcast is expected to remain at 100% all day as well.
My Weather Stick continues in the angry mode at the 83% relative humidity. All three of the electronic instruments call for rising barometric pressure, and indeed it has risen. That usually means improving weather, but I am not seeing that at all. Two of then call for fair skies (ha-ha) while the remote weather station calls for cloudy conditions. I look out my window and all I can see is more snow falling. I will take a couple more photos of the snow gauge and maybe another panoramic view later this afternoon, if I do not have to snowblow the driveway again with the new snow. I know we have just passed "midwinter", but is anyone else ready for spring? The low temperatures were 14.9°F/15.7°F/18.9°F. I repeat myself, but these are taken within 150 feet of one another around my home, the first in the open field, the second on the house and the third inside the barn. Location is everything. I do not see the snow ending any time soon despite what the prognosticators say, it just keeps coming or so it seems. Low Temperature (°F): 14.9
