ALL
ALL RIGHT, TODD IS BACK IT IS FEBRUARY, A SNOWSTORM IS COMING AND THAT'S RIGHT WITH THE
WORLD'S4@ I KNOW I KNOW NOT
EVERYBODY LOVES SNOW BUT A4@ GOD
CHUNK OF MAINE DOES AND WE
REALLY NEED4@4@4@4@ THIS SNOWST
EVERYBODY LOVES SNOW BUT A4@ GOD CHUNK OF MAINE DOES AND WE REALLY NEED4@4@4@4@ THIS SNOWSTR
A LOT OF YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE
COMMERCE IN THE STATE AND A LOT
OF HAVING FUN TO A LOT
OF PEOPLE LIKE BEING OUT IN
THIS STUFF.
SO THIS IS A GOOD GOOD NEWS.
THIS IS REAL GOOD NEWS FOR A
LOT.
ALL RIGHT.
FIRST OF ALL, WE'VE GOT COLD TO
GET THROUGH THIS MORNING FIVE
BELOW LEWISTON TO ABOVE BANGOR,
15 BELOW IN BERLIN,
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
WE'VE HAD THIS DEEP COLD AIR
MASS WITH US ALL WEEKEND LONG4@
AND THAT'S GOING TO GIVE US
MOSTLY SNOW OUT OF THIS LIKE
I'M NOT WORRIED AT ALL ABOUT
WARMING UP ABOVE FREEZING AT
THE SURFACE IT'S ALOFT WHERE
WE'RE GOING TO SNEAK A LITTLE
BIT OF WARMTH IN TOMORROW FOR A
LITTLE PERIOD OF TIME AND GET
SOME SLEEP AND A4@ LITTLE BIT
OF FREEZING RAIN.
BUT MOST OF THIS WILL BE SNOW
AND I LOVE THE SETUP RIGHT NOW
WE'VE GOT THE HIGH4@ PRESSURE
CELL TO OUR NORTH SUPPLYING THE
COLD DOUBLE BARREL LOW RIGHT
HERE MAKES IT4@ SLOW MOVING.
SO WHEN YOU GET INTO THE HEAVY
SNOW BAND IT HANGS AROUND FOR A
WHILE LIKE I DON'T THINK WE
HAVE A PROBLEM GETTING TO SIX
4@INCHES AND MANY OF US WON'T
HAVE A PROBLEM GETTING TO
DOUBLE DIGITS EITHER THROUGHOUT
THE COURSE OF THE NIGHT AND4@
TOMORROW MORNING.
NOW WE HAVE MORE INTENSE COLD
OUT THERE THIS MORNING.
NO WIND SO THAT'S GOOD.
AND THE FIRST COUPLE OF HOURS
WILL BE SUNNY.
SO THAT'LL OFFSET THE CHILL
QUITE A BIT BEFORE THE CLOUDS
ADVANCE IN NO PROBLEMS AT ALL
GETTING TO WORK CLOUD4@Y SKIES Y
THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY.
ALSO SOME OCEAN EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS PROBABLY START FORMING4@
AND SORT OF GRAZED THE ISLANDS,
THE BEACHES WITH SOME FLAKES4@
REALLY NO ACCUMULATION IS
EXPECTED AND IT'S NOT THE STORM
ITSELF THAT ARRIVES THIS
EVENING THERE IT IS TO OUR
SOUTH STEADIER4@ SNOW WORKS UP
INTO SOUTHERN MAINE AFTER FOUR
O'CLOCK.
SO THE4@ EVENING COMMUTE FOR THE
GREATER PORTLAND AREA SOUTH
WILL BE A PROBLEM AND BECAUSE
IT'S BEEN SO COLD AND THIS SNOW
IS GOING TO START OUT LIKE
GANGBUSTERS RIGHT AWAY, THE
ROADS ARE GOING TO GREASE UP4@
AND SLICK IT UP REAL FAST
ENOUGH TO GET HOME QUICKLY NOT
DRIVE FAST BUT JUST BE
EFFICIENT LEAVING THE OFFICE SO
YOU GET HOME4@ SAFELY AT A GOOD
TIME THIS EVENING THE SNOW WILL
BE MOVING THROUGH CENTRAL4@ AND
NORTHERN MAINE AS WE APPROACH
THE MIDNIGHT HOUR AND THEN
EARLY TOMORROW MORNING FOR FAR
NORTHERN AREAS.
BUT IT'LL BE WHIPPING AROUND
THIS EVENING TOO AS THOSE WINDS
PICK UP.
SO THIS IS WHAT I EXPECT THE
STEADY HEAVY SNOW BANDS TO
START TO FALL AGAIN BY FOUR
O'CLOCK IN YOUR COUNTY FIVE SIX
PORTLAND SEVEN EIGHT LEWISTON
NINE AGUSTA 10 11 BANGOR4@ AND4@
THEN AFTER MIDNIGHT UP NORTH SO
THE SOUTHERN MAINE EVENING
COMMUTE IS4@ GOING TO BE A
PROBLEM IF YOU'RE DRIVING
SOUTHBOUND INTO SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND OR IF YOU'RE4@
DRIVING INTO YOUR COUNTY.
OH YEAH.
TAKE IT EASY.
4@HERE'S LOOKS LIKE TONIGHT SNOW
OVER SPREADING THE STATE ONE TO
TWO INCH PER HOUR SNOW BANDS
AND WITH THE WIND BLOWING WE'RE
LOOKING AT WHITEOUT CONDITIONS
POSSIBLE TRAVEL NOT RECOMMENDED
AND THANKFULLY A LOT OF US WILL@
BE SLEEPING DURING THIS TIME.
BUT FOR THOSE WHO ARE WORKING
OVERNIGHT SHIFT BE SUPER
CAREFUL TOMORROW MORNING'S
COMMUTE IT'S NOT GOING TO BE
GOOD.
IT'LL STILL BE SNOWING FAIRLY
HARD IN MOST SPOTS.
WE'LL START TO MIX WITH A
LITTLE BIT OF SLEET RIGHT ALONG
THE COASTLINE AND THEN WE GET
DRY SLOTTED TOMORROW.
WHAT DOES THAT4@ MEAN?
WELL, THE PRECIPITATION STARTS
TO GET SPOTTIER AND A4@ LOT
LIGHTER TOO.
AND AT THE SAME TIME THE
ATMOSPHERE UPSTAIRS SEVERAL
THOUSAND FEET UP WE'LL START TO
WARM.
WE'RE LOOKING AT SLEET AND
FREEZING DRIZZLE SO IN MANY4@
SPOTS ESPECIALLY NEAR THE
COASTLINE THERE'S GOING TO BE A
THICK LAYER OF SNOW.
THEN ON TOP OF IT WE'RE GOING
TO GET THIS CRUST AND IT'S
GOING TO MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE
DIFFICULT TO GET OFF THE
DRIVEWAY AND TO WALK AROUND IN.
YOU GOT THAT CRUSTY4@ COATING UP
TOP TUESDAY NIGHT STORM STARTS
TO WEAKEN.
IT FILLS IN THE RECIEVE SHIELD
LIFTS NORTH.
THE WINDS LET UP AND WE ARE
CLEANING UP AND WE'RE CLEANING
UP QUITE A BIT ONE OF IF NOT
THE LARGEST4@ STORM OF THE SEASN
TO DATE SIX TO 12 INCHES FOR
MOST ALTHOUGH4@ YOU DON'T HAVE O
GO TOO FAR INLAND LIKE IT MIGHT
BE GORHAM AND THEN NORTH AND
WEST OF THERE WHERE YOU'RE
GETTING 12 PLUS ALL THE WAY UP
THROUGH SEBAGO LAKE IN THE
FOOTHILLS AND NEW HAMPSHIRE
LAKES AREA AND DOWNEAST MAINE

THIS IS WHERE WE MIX THE MOST
THREE TO SIX INCHES AND THEN

HEAVY AT TIMES TONIGHT AND THEN
TOMORROW4@ IT'S STILL SNOWING BT
