Winter Storm Warning posted for the interior A quick update to Sunday's post on a few minor details. Timing of the storm remains on course with conditions deteriorating Monday evening over western areas and continuing overnight into eastern and northern areas. This is mainly a rain event for the shorelines, although a few flakes may mix in. The main slug of precipitation tapers Tuesday afternoon over southern and eastern areas, but snow showers will persist over western and northern areas through Wednesday, and for the mountains into early Thursday.  Wind is going to be the main concern for the coast as the storm approaches the region Monday night into Tuesday. Areas west of Penobscot Bay should see the wind begin to diminish by noon Tuesday, east by mid to late Tuesday afternoon.  Snow map revised to show full duration totals with a some minor tweaks. I am still on board with no accumulation for the shoreline towns and cities, but the gradient levels will increase sharply over the interior.  All in all a healthy snow event for the north country, which is great news for winter weather enthusiasts.

Your support is valued and appreciated! Every Saturday morning I get caught up on the bookkeeping to see where I am at. I am about 80% covered for year as it stands right now, which is amazing. You folks have stepped up, which really means a great deal to me. I've known that I have been working on something special for quite awhile now. The towns listed above have at least one donor. Some have two or three. The support from out of state is the real eye catcher. I get overwhelmed when I read the notes that are mailed with checks to my home. I am truly honored and blessed by your faith and belief in me. I love doing this for you folks. So long as I am funded, I will keep doing it.
The final 20% of fundraising is always the most difficult. If you have not as of yet, I ask that you please consider it during this season of giving. You can message me through the Pine Tree Weather Facebook page or tweet me so I can give you my mailing address. You can also set up for a monthly donation on my Patreon page if that works for you.

Always stay weather aware, and thank you for your support... it is truly an honor. - Mike |
