There's a popular meteorological phrase in New England: If you don't like the weather, just wait a minute.
It's always been true through any season, but lately the colloquialism defines winter in the region, where staccato weather patterns have upended any familiarities usually associated with East Coast winter.
This season, in particular, has embodied the idea. Winter finally arrived...at the end of March and now wants to hang out for a while.
The storm that hit two weeks ago and brought multiple feet of snow to resorts all over New England has melted (outside of resorts) already, but winter is back.
Yesterday, Sunday River posted the forecast from the local Maine ABC affiliate showing the possibility of almost two feet of snow possible for the mountains over the next few days. The storm started Wednesday night and is supposed to continue through Friday.
WGME, Maine's CBS affiliate called it a full-on Nor'easter that would bring snow to the inland mountains and a mix of snow and rain to the coast. Their forecast on Tuesday was ballparking only up to 18 inches in the mountains, but either way, that's a solid powder day.
Don't pack away your powder boards yet if you're in Maine. The season is going strong.
