CLOSE CALL WEDNESDAY

Those spots along the east coast still digging out from the weekend storm are now gearing up for another 6 to 12 inches of fresh snow while here in Maine we've gone about three weeks without more than an inch of snow. I took an informal poll on my Facebook page yesterday and folks seem split, half and half - some are looking toward spring, while others are missing the chance to get out and play in the snow.

Whether you're missing the snow or not, this one is going to be a miss for us, mostly. The storm will track south of Cape Cod tonight and move east, we'll be on the northern fringe with clouds and chance of some very light snow south of Portland. It will be a windy day as well. If the track of this storm shifts only a few miles north the result will be different, with some accumulating snow south and light snow further north - so please stay tuned on this one.

As the storm pulls away there's a quiet stretch on the way into the weekend. Clearing Thursday, bright through Saturday with a few more clouds and chance of a few snow showers on Sunday.
