WEATHER REPORT:

The 'Weather Report' is a conversation about the weather. It's how we talk about life in the County in the winter.

What a nice weekend of weather to get out and enjoy some milder temps before the serious storm comes in this week.

The range of snowfall is from 5 inches to a foot - most likely more than less. Plus, sleet is also in the forecast.

The good news is the nice weather is getting closer. You’ll still need to dig out of this storm and a few more to come - but we can hold out hope that the sun will shine again.

March 14 is the date we set our clocks ahead. Sunset as of right now is about 5 pm. We’ll gain another 2 minutes and 30 seconds a day over the next month. That's about an hour and a half + spring forward - and we’re talking about sunset after 7 pm. That will be a real big boost to all of us in northern Maine.

Keep the jackets, boots and gloves out, but start looking at shorts and short sleeves soon enough.
