We picked up about four inches of snow for the first batch of the 2018-2019 season yesterday (Friday). On Thursday we set the lowest temperature in history of November for central Maine (it was forecast to be 10F but by the time I hit the road for work, it was 14F on at least one thermo-meter).

This shot of cold air was helpful since it got the ground frozen enough to limit any snow plow damage to driveway and yard. Typically any early season snow comes with a luke warm ground temperature which allows mud and environmental carnage to our various surfaces.
