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.

Enjoy being a snow tourist!
