Sure, this morning in Maine started with a couple two hour delays and some inconvenient morning commutes, but it looks like this may be child's play compared to what is on the way this weekend.

According to News Center Maine's Keith Carson, the storm in question for this coming weekend is what he and his meteorological weenies (his words not mine) call a 'Miller Type A' storm. What the heck is that?

Well, according to Carson, this is a type of storm where the low-pressure system develops down in the southeast United States and then comes chugging up the eastern seaboard into New England territory.
