Winter is Here
With Wednesday and Thursday’s storm adding another 6-7″, our pre-winter snowfall total reached the 2½ foot mark. Yes, that’s right, we got well over 2 feet before winter even started this year. Amusingly enough, with winter officially upon us now, the weather is supposed to warm up. We’re forecast to get above freezing for the first time in a while tomorrow and some of the white stuff might melt. It’s even supposed to be in the low-to-mid 40s on Sunday! Of course, it’s currently 15° F, so we’ll see what happens.
Everyone I’ve talked to around Portland is shocked at how much snow we’ve gotten so far. According to a report on WGME 13 the other day, we’d had 0.4″ of snow at this time last year. So we’ve gotten about 60 times more snow than last year. Yikes! I wonder what winter is going to bring…
