Rufe's Weather Outlook: Major pattern shift underway. Storm 2013 this weekend

 Major pattern shift underway, jet stream lifting north, introducing warmer storms. 

 Pulse #1:
 Snow will develop north Friday, several inches likely. Showers will for over much of the service area; only interior valleys collecting a bit of ice in the morning, less than 1/10” if that. Winds will be light. 

 Pulse #2:
 Rain returns Saturday with a period of light icing throughout the interior valleys, up to 1/10”. Extensive sleet then freezing rain appears likely along and north of a line from Bethel to Farmington to Newport. Perhaps one half inch will accrete. Again winds will be light.

 Pulse #3:
 After a lull a major storm tracks across northern Maine Sunday. Prior to dawn rain will blossom with sub freezing temps throughout all of the interior. Thawing will be slow to progress north. Therefore extensive icing is possible north of Fryeburg to Augusta to Bucksport, only snow Jackman and Lincoln north. One half to 2/3” accretions are possible. Precipitation will ease around midnight. Fortunately the inversion should be rather deep, preventing northerly gusts from exceeding 20 mph in the icy belt. 

 Please keep in mind that this event is still several days away and the alignment of the front will be critical. 

Further adjustments are likely. 

 The remainder of New England will receive rain, no concerns.

Rufe's Weather Outlook Update

 Weather Update

 A very active pattern right through the weekend.

 Light snow will spill across the SW corner of Maine around 3PM reaching the northern fringes of the service by 8PM. The first inch will accumulate 2-3 hours later. The snow will be fluffy, minimal adhesion to limbs and power lines. Snow will exit westernmost Maine by 6AM Tuesday, the Penobscot Bay region by 10AM. Amounts will range from 2”-4” far north to 7”-9” around Penobscot Bay. Graphic is attached. Gusts will not exceed 35 mph at the coast and 28 mph through dawn tomorrow. Gusty NW winds will buffet the entire service area during the day, 33-38 mph.

 

 Light snow will yield to rain along the coast Friday, light snow continuing inland. Pockets of freezing rain are possible from the Sebago Basin south with less than 1/5” ice. Wind not a concern.

 

 Freezing rain will resume Saturday morning over all but the immediate coast, the thawing line edging north to Route 2 to Bucksport by dusk then halting. Farther north will be the region of multiday icing. If this scenario plays out ice accretions will range from ½” to 1”, the worst case scenario. The snow/ice demarcation will settle south from midday Monday and beyond, with the coast receiving over 1.4” of rain. 

 The inversion should be rather deep, preventing northerly gusts from exceeding 20 mph in the icy belt. Please keep in mind that this event is nearly a week away: MUCH latitude still exists for modification.

Saving the Kind Barber and His Street Cats‏

To love at all is to be vulnerable.

- C.S. Lewis -

Saving the Kind Barber and His Street Cats

With two hefty sacks of cat food in her arms, Manuela Wroblewski can't stop smiling as she whisks toward the familiar shop. Hussein, the Turkish barber, clasps his hands in gratitude as he eyes the bags of food and the two hurry over to the tiny food dishes lined up in the alley. Soon the sound of kibble clinks against the bowls and several stiff tailed cats begin to appear. But Hussein was in trouble after diminishing customers caused him to lose his lifelong barber shop in Turkey. Things were looking quite dire for this lovely man and while he didn't express any worry for his own future, he was in knots over what might happen to the street cats he feeds each day. He probably hadn't even dreamt that people from half way around the world would help. { read more }

The Hope For A Change In The Council Working Rules

                     PROPOSED COUNCIL WORKING RULES
 

The proposed changes to the council working rules is going to determine how effective this council will be for the coming year.  Councilor Garrison has done a great job condensing the current council working rules in this draft.  However, the major issue with the proposed and the current council working rules is people are required to speak on agenda items without first having the sponsor explain the reason for the change and to hear the discussion by councilors.  This requirement is a waste of time because if the people are allowed to speak after the agenda item has been briefed by the sponsor and discussed by the council and before the vote; there would be no need for Audience Participation.

In order to correct this situation, paragraph 6(C) the last sentence would have to read “The chair will allow questions from the public during this time however no debate or discussion of collateral issues shall be permitted.”  Councilors should encourage their constituents to participate in local government and be receptive to the people’s concerns and questions.   As the current and proposed council working rules are written; the right of the people to speak after understanding what the sponsor is trying to do have been eliminated.   This situation eliminates input from the people and can lead to all the facts not being presented prior to the council voting on an issue.  It is imperative that all the facts be presented in order for councilors to make meaningful decisions.

As a result of the current and proposed council working rules, the people have no way to get their questions answered.  The proposed council working rules has even gone as far as eliminating Audience Participation Response; not that they ever provided a response to our questions.  Since the proposed council working rules, has eliminated Audience Participation Response what is the value of having Audience Participation?  This small change to paragraph 6(C) will enable the people to get some answers and for councilors to hear their constituents concerns .

As it stands right now and with the proposed change, the people have no options in order to get questions and concerns answered but to submit Freedom of Access Acts (FOAA).  This program has put an additional workload of the town staff.  This could be reduced significantly or even eliminated by changing the council working rules to allow people to participate in agenda items as they are being discussed by the sponsor and council.  I never had a need for this program until the council working rules no longer allowed the Public to participate during agenda item discussions. 

Let’s start the year off right and begin the healing process for our community.  One simple change will restore local government back to the people.
