 Here in the PacificNW we went 5 months with a trace of moisture.In the month of November the weather liars say 12'' of rain.My rain barrel, aka garbage can,shows 30" plus.I talked with a guy last night that is driving a 25yard dump truck at site where this photo was taken,he said they had to move 20,000 25yard truck loads to get a handle on making the road safe.That is just one spot the White River on Mt.Hood.Coming down the mountain some, this is what the hwy.35 looks like.   It's as though they turned the spicket on and broke off the handle.What these sick SOB "scientists"think they are doing,they don't have a clue.Building damns wasn't enough for these guys.Mother Nature is going to kick their asses.Sad part being, we all get shit on because of these egotistical assholes. |

Record temps here in the north east also, we are running about 10 degrees above normal right now, ponds are usually freezing over this time of the year but so far even northern Maine ponds and lakes are wide open, today it got up to 62 degrees at 2:00 PM, very warm for November 24th, usually by Thanksgiving we have at lest one snow storm that leaves lasting snow on the ground, nothing yet in the way of snow, very unusual indeed.
We have had some prolonged rain that's caused some inconveniences but nothing like your getting in the Pacific North West, at our wettest I was watching the news coming out of Oregon and Washington state and I couldn't believe the amounts of rain being recorded there, unreal !
They just have to keep messing with the weather and it's killing people, how many people are going to have to die before they are satisfied with their work? ( Assholes ! )

We seem to have returned to normal late November weather here in Maine, Last night a a cold front moved into the area bringing some snow to northern parts of Maine while central and southern portions have been getting a mix of rain, freezing rain, fog, sleet, the daytime temp struggled to get up to 40 degrees and now at 5:05 PM it is 36 degrees and falling, last week on this day and at this time the temperature was 54 degrees.
We are looking to get more freezing rain and sleet tonight into tomorrow and rain off and on throughout the day with temps hanging right around 40 degrees, late fall in Maine has returned.

Yes, this warm weather in late November heading into December is just unheard of here in the North East, we are at present rather cool due to some Canadian air that moved in day before yesterday but the forecast for the weekend into next week is calling for temps right back up in the high 50's and 60's _ In December_ In Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Mass, that's friggen nut's.
Welcome to the new world of Global Warming folks, change is in the air, literally in the air.

Taken from The Conway Daily Sun / mountwashingtonvalley.com/Dec 1, 10:07 PM EST NOVEMBER TEMPATURES HIT RECORD HIGHS IN THE NORTH COUNTRY November warmth hit historic highs; Wintry weather approaching November ended with record high temperatures in parts of northern New England and near record low amounts of snowfall, but below-normal temperatures were on the way. The temperature in Portland, Maine, reached 62 degrees on Thursday, breaking the previous record of 58, set in 1963, according to the National Weather Service in Gray. November also ended with a record high temperature on Mount Washington and tied a record in Concord, N.H. It was 45 on the summit, up from the previous record of 44. Concord's high was 67, tying a record set in 1881. At the summit, it was the second least snowy November on record, with 7.4 inches of snow. The mountain normally gets 40 inches in November. National Weather Service Meteorologist Tom Hawley said November broke the record for high average temperature in New Hampshire and Portland. In Portland, the 43.8 degree average temperature broke the previous record of 43 degrees set in 1975, helping boost the average temperature for the month 5.5 degrees above normal. At 43.3 degrees, temperatures as recorded in Concord, N.H. were 5.7 degrees above normal, breaking the previous state average high of 42.6 degrees set in 1931. It's been an unusually balmy November in Vermont, too, breaking records for high temperatures and lack of snowfall. The average daily temperature in Burlington was 42.8 degrees, second-highest on record, according to the National Weather Service. At 4,350-foot Mount Mansfield, the average daily temperature was 34.6 degrees, the highest on record. Only a half-inch of snow fell there, easily breaking the previous record, which was 7 inches in 1964. Burlington, meanwhile, registered only a trace of snow for the month, which has happened only three times before - in 1915, 1937 and 1948, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Conor Lahiff. But forecasters said big changes are about to blow in. Strong winds and rain developed Friday afternoon, with temperatures 30 degrees cooler during the weekend and beyond. Some snow was possible in northern and mountain locations. "It will be a slow cool down, then it's going to be very cold next week," Hawley said, predicting normal cold on Sunday and Monday in New Hampshire and Maine, with below-normal cold the rest of the week. Temperature-wise, he was looking for highs in the low or mid-30s after the weekend, with lows generally in the teens, with some below-zero temperatures in the mountains. "It looks like it will be cold for a while," he said. The weather service said rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches also were possible in Maine for the weekend, enough to cause sharp rises on rivers and streams. In northern and east central Maine, the weather service in Caribou predicted snow, sleet and freezing rain. A winter storm warning was issued for northwest Aroostook County, upgrading the prior winter storm watch. The storm warning, effective at 6 p.m., was posted until 6 a.m. Saturday. The weather service in Caribou said snow accumulations of 4 to 8 inches and sleet accumulations of a half to a full inch were expected in the affected area. |

Al Gore's "scaremongering", hmmmm, have you seen the weather across the country lately, does it really seem normal to you, I don't see how Al Gore trying to bring awareness of the effects of Global Warming to the publics attention as "scaremongering", that's like saying that George W. Bush is the "Peace President" and a "Humanitarian" neither of those definitions really fit their personas.

What do you know, we are finally getting our very first fall snow, it started off real fine last night around 8:00 PM and continued through the night, this morning a 7:30 AM there was a good five inches on the ground, it's still snowing and expected to continue throughout the day.
This is the first time since I have lived here in Parsonsfield, Maine that I have seen snow on the ground before West Pond was frozen over, all of our lakes an ponds are still open, local people that have lived in this area all of their lives, some now in their 80's say that they have never seen the lakes and ponds stay open so long, we just have not had cold enough weather.
This snow that we are getting now will likely be gone by Sunday afternoon as it is supposed to warm up into the mid 40's again by Saturday, this is rather strange weather for December, no doubt about it.
Tiff is enjoying this first snow, she says that it's "beautiful", Hmmm, she does not have to shovel it.

Same here in New Jersey. 20 degrees today, 50 MPH winds, snow expected, and will go down to the teens tonight. The weekend will be 30 tomorrow, and 50 on Sunday.
Weird weather to say the least. If you remember the 1950s, by this time we always had snow, and average for season was always much higher. Now, we have thunderstorms during a snowstorm when they occur, something I never remember.

Wow, it's not that bad here in Maine, the temp right now at 12:40 PM is 28 degrees and there isd a light gust of wind once in awhile, nothing serious, just enough to cause the snow in the trees to fall, the snow has come to an end, I think, not snowing right now and it's become a bit more lighter out, the clouds look as though they are thinning out so I think the storm has had it here.
Tiff just went out to get some pictures for the local paper, I'll post a couple later on for your viewing plesure, I have to go and clear the driveway,.......... later.

Nice Lou!!  Finally, even though you have to shovel. Nothing so far in NJ, but high winds still whipping. I wish I had those pictures from Lake Tahoe when we lived there in 1978-1979. 7 FEET snowstorms (not drifts). It snowed for 3 days for that one, and we had to climb out the side window of our cabin to get out. The side door was buried right to the top. Coming from NJ, we would occasionally see an 18 incher or even a 3 footer, but this was blew us away. One old local said he was in a 15 FOOT storm in the 1950s, and 7 feet was nothing. It literally snowed every day in the winter, and on Mother's day, September, and in July got 5 inches. Whew!! Those Sierra Nevada's are tough. |

When will people realize that everything revolves around Boston? It is nutty how the weather can go from 30 to 70 or vice versa. I love snow. I miss when it snowed and it didn't melt within a day or two. I remember ice skating on the pond and playing football in 5 degree weather in the snow. I remember the Blizzard of '78. I forget how long all roads were shut down, but I remember seeing hundreds of people walking miles down the main streets to get to the markets, where the only vehicles were snow mobiles. A Blizzard for the Ages — Gallery"Hell freezes over. Twenty-five years ago, the Blizzard of ’78 paralyzed Kenmore Square — at least for wheeled traffic. To the right of the notorious nightclub Lucifer, later Narcissus, is the site of the future Barnes & Noble at Boston University." Photograph by Ken Glass.  "When automobile traffic on Commonwealth Avenue resumed six days after the blizzard, travel on the B line still required skis." Photograph by Ken Glass.  Actually, everything revolves around Red Sox Nation.  |

Many cities and towns across Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont set all time highs with today's temperatures up into the mid 50's, Portland, Maine saw 55 degrees in the shade and 67 degrees in the sun.
This has the local Maine people scratching their heads and asking,"What's going on with the weather?"
Of course some actually get what's going on with the escalating Global Warming, we are seeing it more now as it affects our seasonal weather.

it's 1:01 AM Monday, December 18th and it's 48 degrees here in Parsonsfield, Maine.
Why sholud I believe that Global Warming is real, everything is just so normal, right, normal for mid April maybe.
Everyone is looking at each other around here and saying WTF is gong on, another Snow machine dealership just closed their doors on Friday, they can't afford to cary their invatory because they can't sell any of it, three years runing the snow season has been really bad here, here are lots of small businesses going under, last winter was bad, cold but no snow, this winter is finishing off the businesses that where just barely hanging on hoping for a good snow season, it isn't happening.
The big sky areas have been making snow but they are hurting without the natural snow cover on the trail's that they can't make snow on, Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire count on the snow industry and without it there will be no industry, Oop's, there goes the economy.
I'm going to go to bed now and dream that there is no such thing as Global Warming, just like the people that say there is no such thing as Global Warming, they..... are dreaming.
