THE WEATHER REPORT:

The little snow we got recently is gone again and the grass is turning green. The snow was actually gone not too long after it hit the ground a few days ago. Temps stayed pretty steady - and we’re getting back on the spring cycle of nicer weather.

In central and southern Maine, there was more precipitation that led to slippery roads last week. The Maine State Police reported three hydroplaning accidents in one hour. One 15 passenger van spun out, hit a guardrail, ruptured the fuel tank and burst into flames. There were no passengers at the time and the driver escaped without injury.

The golf courses are opening and that’s big news for golfers and people who want to try their hand at the game. Spring high school sports are getting going in the County and athletes and parents are psyched about that.

The sunny weather - sometimes sunny weather - is giving us all a chance to get out after a long winter. After a long run with the pandemic, everyone is excited about getting outdoors and breathing some fresh air.

The weather drives so many things we do and it’s part of so many conversations even if it’s not just about the forecast.
