Currently 54 degrees in Central Maine.

The 20" of snow I got over the past 2 weeks is reduced by 2/3. Solar panels totally clear. Raining for the past 8 hours...no signs of letting up.

When the weather turns and winter resumes, the freeze is going to make travels down and up my driveway a real thrill. Glad I got a 4WD Ram just for these occasions.

Haven't seen a sun in about 10 days. Mainly gloom, or gloomier, mixed in with fog and now rain. What a fucking weather mess.

Note: cross posted from the Lounge....better here I think.

...turn into mini icicles.

When my husband and I were first married, he was a pilot in the Air force and got stationed at K.I. Sawyer AFB in the upper peninsula of Michigan. It was like that from Nov to April.
