Yes, yes, I am a coastal Californian. When making my travel plans to Maine, I put in an order for sufficient snow to provide atmosphere and get in some good cross-country skiing. Well, here's the weather report:

Today: Blizzard warning
Monday: 40% Chance of snow
Tuesday: Snow likely at night (60% chance)
Wednesday: Snow likely (70% chance)
Thursday (Christmas): Sunny!
Friday: 30% chance of snow
Saturday: 30-40% chance of snow
Sunday: 30% chance of snow

I think I can consider the request to have been well and properly filled. Not only will I get in some good cross-country skiing, that may be the only way to get the grocery shopping done! I'm lying here in bed watching the flurries out the window and listening to the mini-plow-for-hire clearing out my brother's driveway which has accumulated about a foot since we arrived this afternoon. Yes, I can feel sympathy for the folks who have to live with this all winter. But there's nothing wrong with making the tourists happy.

Yeah, my inner california girl loves living here in seattle where the snow actualy comes to my house for a few days a year. Of course it's getting a little out of hand right now, but overall it's fab!

We've had a raucous snowball fight, watched the neighbor kids sled down the hill, there's a snow pirate in the front yard, there's hot cocoa inside, life is good!

Enjoy being a snow tourist!

Hmmm... Whereabouts in Maine?

I hope the roads are decent on Wednesday afternoon/evening, as someone has to come down to Portland to pick me up at the airport and drag me back up to South Paris.

We're in Waterville - not an immediate neighbor, but in a somewhat similar geographic location except for being on the interstate. I would tend to guess that if the plane manages to get in then the roads should be passable enough. Whether the drivers will be up to the conditions is another question.
