THE WEATHER REPORT:

‘The Weather Report’ is a conversation about the weather in our daily lives.

What an incredible weekend we had with the sun most of the time. This week will be cold with wind chill as low as -31 at times. You know it’s cold when the National Weather Service in Caribou tells you to bundle up and not stay exposed to the coldness.

Northern Maine saw a snow squall come through Saturday afternoon that created some serious blowing snow. Anyone out driving took caution in the hazardous conditions. The visibility was difficult in some places. Good thing is the storm lasted a few hours before it settled down and cleared up.

The conversations we’ve been having with our coworkers, family and friends is about how mild January was and how February had more stormy weather. You get used to a month like Jan and suddenly Feb comes on strong. As Mainers, we have been through the winter enough times to know it’s never over until it’s over. And that will come soon enough.

Just around the corner is the time change, March 14 - a week from Sunday. That will make us all feel better as the daylight stays with us longer. 

Looking ahead to this coming week, we’ll get some wind that creates blowing snow. There’s some chance of mixed precipitation which can cause driving issues. As we head to the weekend, we get more clear skies - still some clouds, but no forecasted snow, rain or sleet. See the full forecast above and remember to get out of the house everyday if possible.
