There's a Snowball's Chance in Hell of Maine White Christmas

Some of you are super happy and then there are the traditionalists who are super bummed.

I'm a traditionalist. I like a white Christmas. Hell, I like snow. Sure I complain just like the next person about shoveling it and driving in it. But there's nothing like a good ol' fashion snowstorm. And Maine just hasn't had them like we used to. The week of Christmas, according to Accuweather is...well, pleasant!

Now, there is a saying in Maine...

If you don't like the weather in Maine, wait a minute.

But still. All models from all sources are pointing to a pretty mild December with little precipitation let alone snow! Ski places are gonna have to use our chilly nights to crank the snow-making guns, because it looks pretty bone dry.
