On this sunny day I have 15° and I might see a temp above freezing today.
Have not seen that for more then a week.
Snow yesterday and left behind about 2 inches of the white stuff.

The clouds are almost sitting on the hills, that's no sign of a sunny day for us, a sign of bad weather coming in. There was some kind of fine freezing stuff in the night, plow just went with sand. About 24° now.

The snow squalls have arrived, so much for their sun forecast.  :wink_2:

Sun nice and bright here. We did go somewhere and saw the thick colds in the distance.

The dark green on land is sun, the light green is all clouds. Basically anything north and east of Bangor is clouds. 24° here now.

I am finally ready to go out in the 30° weather and sunshine to enjoy the afternoon cutting wood.
Warmest it's been here for more then a week.
Looks like a good week coming. Might be in the single numbers at night but at least the mid 20's for a high.

Looks like cloudy for us all week, 20's for highs. Might be rain/snow Friday and 30's. But the next week they guess that it clears out and the temp falls into the negatives all that week for us. We'll see how true that holds. We are due for some real cold below 0°.   ffcheesy

18° here and the usual cloud cover with snow squalls. The steps have some fresh snow from earlier, and still sprinkling snow down. The cloud map showed there was a brief clearing in the middle of the night, but clouds moved back in. Haven't seen the sun up here for 2 weeks. :D  High of 24° for today up here.

26° and won't get much warmer than 30 today and not much sun either.
No major storms in sight and looks like the beginning of next week might be in the single numbers.

20° this morning and the occasional snow squall as usual. Could be freezing rain mixed in the squalls to like the other day. There was a film of ice on the truck a couple or three days ago. The packed snow was slippery. There's about a 1/4" of new fallen snow. Might hit 26° here they said. Wet snow with freezing rain coming Friday.

We hit 33 yesterday for a high in the afternoon.  I got the track loader and got all the ice I could and then salt.  Most of the drive is black pavement and it melts easy with sun being absorbed by the mass.  now cold again for a few under 30.  both my wife and daughter have had falls going to the mall that was not adequately cleared.

18° out there this morning. Still looks squally.  You'd think we lived on a huge lake. Closest lake to us is 10 miles off to the south, Williamstown Lake. Not very many lakes at all in this county.

17° here this morning and some sun today with a high of 22.
Not much snow here. The field is white, but just barely and that was from a small storm on Sat.
The Androscoggin River has froze over, been that way for about a week now, at least.
Last year it only froze over for no more then 3 days and then it would warm up and rain.

It was 7° this morning at three am when the phone rang.   I was pretty cold by the time we were done. Supposed to get to the mid to upper 30's today.  

SwampDonkey

I think we will see some of Al's cold tomorrow morning. Then a thaw coming Friday and Saturday, in the low 30's. Then drop even colder on Monday than it's been.

We've got close to 3" of snow probably, all from 2 weeks of squalls.

The needle never budged all day, stayed on 18°. Dropping now though. More squalls today. Saw some snow buntings eating weeds (seeds) in a field and a goshawk was hunting for grouse. It crossed the road and darted into the firs. Then it came out and it came flying down the road at me until he focused in on what he was looking at.  ffcheesy I've seen others hunt in the exact same spot and I do see grouse there. One day a few years ago I saw one up in a fir tree with a grouse in his claws, same place. So the kill was pretty fresh.

Also saw a coyote in a field but over on another road about 4 miles from here.

No relief here. I've had one day here when the ground was frozen with no snow on it. Cold here with more snow heading here Sunday. Supposed to be even colder next week. Stove has been eating the wood. I feel like a engineer on a steam train 🚂

15° here and still squally this morning. Houlton, Maine is 30 miles south of here and they were predicting 0 to 5° this morning. Quite a bit warmer than that here. I think the constant cloud cover keeps it from getting real cold here.
