THE WEATHER REPORT:

“The Weather Report” is the conversations we’re having with co-workers and family about the weather that affects our daily lives.

We’ll have to take the start and stop when it comes to spring bringing only the nice weather. Snow in the third week of April is not a big surprise, but it’s not what we had planned.

It’s what everyone is talking about. Just when we thought the grass was turning green and would stay that way comes several inches of snow.

The accumulation is not a lot, but more than enough to make everyone’s commute to work harder and more slippery. That’s the discussion in the office as plans and arrangements are reconsidered to limit the time out and about.

School is on break and students don’t have to worry about getting to school. Some of us are alright with the conditions, as some of us just want to see the sun.

When you hear the possibility of 2 - 8 inches, you can pick up the disbelief in people’s voices. “Two to eight inches? What?” In the back of our heads we know it will melt fast, but for now, the snow is on the ground and covering your vehicles.

Meanwhile, sports are picking up again and we can’t wait to get outside and enjoy it. Every once in a while a major League Baseball game is postponed due to the forecast - it just happened last week at Fenway Park.

It’s life in Maine and we love it - not so much the April snow, but the lifestyle is good for us.
