There were some altostratus clouds when I took Ike out for his morning constitutional, but they have now cleared (09:00 hours). As I look out my west window I see... 26958@http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/ 2008-05-13T09:33:51-05:00 http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/026608.html There was some fog that was not forecast by N.O.A.A., but it burned off by 08:00 here in Wilton, Maine. When I first took Ike out for his morning exercise there was no fog, but some cirrus clouds had moved... 26608@http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/ 2008-05-06T11:01:09-05:00 http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/026591.html The fog was gone by11:00 hours, just as N.O.A.A. said it would be. I got my usual chores done, the goats milked, the eggs picked and fresh water for everyone. I even loaded a bit of wood into my Outdoor... 26591@http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/ 2008-05-06T00:42:22-05:00 http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/026529.html Since I returned from my meetings last Monday I have been quite busy getting caught up on a number of fronts. As usual, when one takes some time off it takes twice as much time to get back into the... 26529@http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/ 2008-05-05T08:58:45-05:00 http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/025975.html N.O.A.A. and I forecast light scattered showers overnight, and with 0.04" they certainly were light here in Wilton, Maine. I have heard that there are other areas that had more. The sky was in the process of clearing when I... 25975@http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/ 2008-04-24T12:07:12-05:00 http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/025974.html It was such a nice day that N.O.A.A. forecast that I went for an 11+ mile bicycle ride to go into town to transact some business. It was an absolutely beautiful day for it too. It was not too hot,... 25974@http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/ 2008-04-24T12:04:22-05:00 http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/025872.html N.O.A.A. forecast the overnight weather correctly, as we did not have any precipitation. The cloud cover also appears to have diminished. For the past couple of mornings I have been able to take out for his morning constitutional without a... 25872@http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/ 2008-04-23T08:21:34-05:00 http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/025871.html I had suggested, as did N.O.A.A. that there might be some light scattered showers around the area. I had a report from a friend of mine that he had a trace of rain during the afternoon at Farmington, about 6... 25871@http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/ 2008-04-23T08:18:06-05:00 http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/025821.html Upon arising this morning it almost looked like the season had slipped backward. On closer inspection I found that it was just some fog obscuring the sun. This was not forecast by N.O.A.A., but this is the time of year... 25821@http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/ 2008-04-22T10:48:44-05:00 http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/025801.html The Birds Are Returning This has been a very pretty day, once the clouds of this morning dissipated. The birds as noted below are coming back, and that is good. N.O.A.A. said we would have no precipitation today, and... 25801@http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/ 2008-04-22T07:42:45-05:00 http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/025765.html N.O.A.A. forecast no precipitation for the overnight, and more in the way of cloud cover. They were right on both counts. The cloud cover may be a bit heavier than they predicted, but it is there nonetheless. They also had... 25765@http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/ 2008-04-21T07:54:00-05:00 http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/025759.html Ghost Rider Rides Again Once again we have had a very nice day. We had no precipitation (as N.O.A.A. predicted), a bit more wind than yesterday, and for most of the day it was cloudless. There was some haze... 25759@http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/ 2008-04-20T22:30:14-05:00 http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/025740.html This seems to be getting redundant, but this redundancy is most welcome after the winter we have had. N.O.A.A. forecast no precipitation overnight, and they were right. They still have not quite got the temperature figured out, since it is... 25740@http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/ 2008-04-20T08:04:46-05:00 http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/025736.html N.O.A.A. predicted no precipitation and moderately clear skies, with temperatures in the seventies. They were right. The sky at 17:00 hours was quite strange. To our east there were some cirrus clouds, but there was a hazy appearance to the... 25736@http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/ 2008-04-19T18:56:44-05:00 http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/025720.html Once again N.O.A.A. and I predicted no precipitation overnight, and not only did that condition persist, but also the temperature actually did not get below freezing. It was close, but close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades and atomic bombs.... 25720@http://weather.mainetoday.com/blogs/wilton/ 2008-04-19T10:05:24-05:00
