WEATHER REPORT:
The ‘Weather Report’ is a look at living with the cold Maine winter weather. Just a nice perspective on January in the Pine Tree State.
What a nice week we’re having in northern Maine with no noticeable snow, light wind and somewhat warmer temperatures.
If you missed out on doing the chores outside this past weekend, now is the time - like shoveling your walk, clearing the path to the kerosine tank or doing some maintenance on the house.
Remember to take it easy when working in the snow and drink plenty of water. Wear layers so you can keep yourself from sweating too much.
Also, check your supplies in your emergency kit in your car to keep it up to date. This goes for others in your family too.
Remind your coworkers to leave extra time for their trip to the office, just in case of an issue with the roads/weather.
Some of the calls for snow this week - Wednesday night into Thursday - will not amount too much if anything. About a 30% chance we get precipitation. But it is late January in Maine and we know snow is in the forecast sooner or later.
The snowmobile trails are open and being taken care of, but the deep snow is not abundant. Really good crews know how to manage that. Be sure to follow their guidelines.
Get out and enjoy the melt off - albeit just a little bit - and be cautious when the melted snow-ice freezes over at night.
