Long range weather models suggest Maine could see two substantial snowstorms next week as February continues to be active

Days before it was set to arrive in Maine, February's second nor'easter has already fallen apart leaving a storm unlikely for early next week

Some portions of the state could see nearly two feet of snow as Maine is rudely reminded on Groundhog Day that winter isn't over yet

You can almost bet on this happening each and every year here in Maine. Some kind of a winter storm that will batter New England over the course of Groundhog Day.

There is a ton of sarcasm involved here, but maybe we can all learn something...

It's been a quiet and snowless winter for most of Maine but that could change with a potential storm headed our way for Groundhog Day

Don't you shudder when you think of all the times you did this a kid?

Rather than a white Christmas in Maine, forecast models are showing a windy one. That could lead to widespread power outages on the cheeriest day of the year.

Before winter even officially kicks in, Maine could see its second Nor'Easter of the season next week as a storm begins to take shape

Hit the pause button winter lovers, a pattern shift is promising a fall-like "heat wave" for Maine over the next 7-10 days

It looks like we might get a little snow here at the tail-end of our week. No biggie- "more decorative than impactful" says Matt Hoenig at WMTW. Certainly not the kind of storm we had 9 years ago in Maine. The Halloween Nor'easter of 2011 was a doozy! I remember taking the kids out trick or treating in snow boots. And in total darkness, as all the power was out in our neighborhood. Did that stop us from going out and going house to house? Of course not! Only a global pandemic would ever do that. Oh, wait a minute...

There were more bees buzzing through Maine this summer as the state saw the most dramatic increase in honey bee colonies in the United States

The Newscenter Maine morning team got a good laugh after a closed captioning gaffe led to an interesting moment on Wednesday

Boy, do we need some rain. Most of Maine is in a moderate or severe drought. You can tell just by looking at your brown yard. And I'm not complaining about the 10+ days of temps above 90 degrees from this summer, buuuuuuuuut, I do love the cooler weather. Great for sleeping! Actually, the next 90 days are my favorite time of the year in Maine.

Our friends at the National Weather Service in Gray have come out with their weekly drought monitor report for Maine and New Hampshire. Overall, I think we are pretty lucky as July was the hottest month (of ANY month) on record. Plus, we've had many towns at 90 degrees for at least 10 times this summer. And not a ton of rain. You would think that we would be ripe for severe drought conditions. And yes, there a few areas with are in the "severe" category but most are in the "moderate" level. It's drier than normal but not too bad.
