Weather

Today is the first day of winter.

Central Maine is in for another blast of winter as the National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch as a "significant" winter storm is expected tomorrow (Dec. 12).

The snow that arrived this past Saturday and Sunday had a name to it, Winter Storm ‘Benji.’

Coats For Kids Campaign is underway here in Central Maine. With the colder temps comes the need for warm coats, hats and mittens. Your outgrown outerwear can be the difference in a child's winter. PrattAbbot Cleaners receives the donated items, cleans them and the Salvation Army distributes them.

OK...OK...that photo is a bit of an exaggeration...BUT...Winter is coming...November 8, 2017 was not only Election Day it was also the first  snowfall in northern Maine this season.

My oldest is a grad student at the University of Illinois in Urbana, IL.   Apparently this is not only a Big 10 school, it's also a cultural hub for Opera singers. Kimberly is a New England girl through and through living in the heartland now...

The million dollar question is...what can we expect for Winter this upcoming season?  We all wish we could look through a looking glass and see the truth, unfortunately, that is not the case.  But the almanac is the closest we're going to get.  But which do we believe: Old Farmer's or Farmers?

Powered by a recent surge of warm weather, and highlighted by two straight days of record temperatures, Maine is headed for one of the warmest Septembers on record.

It's Hot. Shirt optional kinda hot. Multiple showers hot. If you're working outdoors today, you know this.

We all heard the warnings about not looking at the eclipse. Well, maybe not all of us.

Are you itching to figure out why mosquitoes love you?

Kids really do say the darnedest things.

Days after getting a shot of colder weather for June, northern New England is experiencing record high temperatures more suited to late July.

This morning there was a rumble. Did you feel it? Maine isn't a hotbed of seismic activity, but we do get a minor earthquake once in a while. A few years ago, I felt one while in the Gorham area, and it was...weird. Earthquakes aren't like weather we anticipate. So, you're making dinner, and out of nowhere, boiling water is spilling on the kitchen floor.  The 20 seconds of rumble feels three times

Its official, the hurricane season is underway and Maine officials are reminding Mainers to be prepared. Insurance Superintendent Eric Cioppa said it’s a good time to make sure you have adequate coverage.

The Canadians are clearly winning 2017. Yes, that was partially a pun. First off, Clearly Canadian made a comeback. Secondly, Larry Enticer has become a folk hero with all it's "send it" goodness. Okay, so the hockey team didn't hold up their end of the bargain. In fact, there isn't a team from Canada in the Stanley Cup Finals. Yet, there's this.
