A Hazy Shade of Winter

We got smacked pretty hard yesterday. I know that after watching poor Maggie out in my back yard last night, the weather report posted here has to be very close.

 

21 inches will make even the most grizzled Mainer at least grunt when they see the totals. I am guessing there is chaos, frazzled nerves and unhappy campers aplenty in our part of the state. I especially feel for the plow drivers. This was a wet heavy snow storm that stressed equipment and tempers. 

The early news on Channel 6 had Shapleigh, a town next door to Acton as having the most snowfall for this storm. According to the clueless forecaster, Shapleigh received 14 inches. Once again, Acton misses out on a moment of fame, renown, and most importantly, bragging rights. Such is our existence; to be ignored by the button down sweater around their neck folks who exist the other side of the Turnpike.

Posted on our local town Facebook page, "What's Up in Acton", this image is off an Apple Weather App. From the amount of snow dumped in my dooryard, it cannot be too far off. Regardless, it was a helluva storm, especially this far into March. Not unheard of, but not normal either.

Of course what is normal anymore?
