Rufe's Weather Outlook Update: A challenging storm with varied precipitation

 A challenging storm with varied precipitation. This morning’s dusting is unrelated to the main event.

 

 Snow will overspread the south border around 10PM with little if accumulation. Snow will press north during the night, blending with sleet/freezing rain the liquid rain by dawn all the way to the north border. 

 

The western border from Fryeburg-Greenville-Coburn’s Gore stands the greatest likelihood of up to ¼” accretion. Snowfall amounts will range from a scant coating at the coast to 3”-5” over the mountains prior to heavy rain which may approach 2” total throughout the service area. The heaviest precipitation will occur between 3AM and noon tomorrow, ending 4PM to 9PM south to northeast.

 

 SE winds from 3PM through 8PM within 5-15 miles of the coast may reach 40-45 mph, greatest threat east of Casco Bay. Winds slacken thereafter as the storm passes just to the west of Maine.

 Southwest then northwest winds behind the storm tomorrow night will ramp up after midnight and likely exceed 40 mph system wide from perhaps dawn through dusk. There is the threat of gusts to 50 mph for several daylight hours Thursday. Another fairly long duration event.

Lisbon's Very Merry Main Street offers free family holiday fun‏

Carolers singing holiday favorites on Main Street Lisbon Falls during the Very Merry Main Street celebration which this year will be Saturday, Dec. 7 from 5 pm until 7 pm.

Bring your family and celebrate the holiday season in Lisbon Falls at the 5th Annual Very Merry Main Street on Saturday, Dec. 7 from 5-7 pm. Free activities include horse drawn carriage rides, musical performances, and the chance to visit Santa.

“Lisbon Falls is the perfect place to experience an authentic small town holiday celebration. As a family friendly destination, we offer activities that will bring smiles to children of all ages,” said Ross Cunningham, President of Positive Change Lisbon, the coordinator of the event.

The evening begins at 4:30 at the MTM Center on School Street where carolers from Lisbon Falls Baptist Church will lead the singing as Santa lights the town’s Christmas tree at MTM park. After the lighting, everyone is invited to follow Santa in a "Caroling Procession" down Main Street to Route 196.

From 5 pm to 7 pm, over 15 businesses in Lisbon Falls will open their doors and welcome visitors to their stores with many providing snacks and drinks and activities. Stop by the Positive Change Lisbon table outside Mike's Flooring on Main Street to receive a card to be stamped by local businesses. Return the stamped cards to be entered into a contest to win a gift basket.

Children will be able to meet Santa for free after he arrives at the “North Pole Annex” in the Masonic Hall on Route 196. Parents can take photos of their kid's visit. All visitors are invited to line up at the Outside Mike's Flooring on Main Street for free horse drawn carriage rides.

During the evening, the Lewiston trio known as “Present Company” will perform holiday favorites at Drapeau's Costumes on Main Street. Local singer songwriter Steve Hildonen will be playing sing a long songs at The Railroad Diner. Participants will be able to hear familiar tunes at Tangles Hair Salon broadcast by Lisbon’s own WQRY Internet Radio.

The Enigma‏

  As I have asked many times over the years, my questions about revolving loans were either ignored or told by the town manager & his sidekick, Mr. Feeney, it was classified information.  So who ever got loans, it was only known by rumors - who they maybe  and their status of defaulting,  Only the STAR CHAMBER knew. The Lisbon Video, the Farwell furniture & its cohort businesses (who never ran a business previously ), Maria's (Ronnie Anctil's old place) are just a few names. The town manager, I believe, should be responsible as this leadership should be accountable. WHERE DOES THE BUCK stop?

     How much money has been defaulted? For those loans in arrears-what are the consequences?? Who is in CHARGE?  Is anything TRANSPARENT??  As Abbott and Costello would ask who is one first, who is on second.....
