Our biggest this year didn’t make it past mid August. This is the inside of an estimated 1400 lb pumpkin. The end opposite the stem (blossom end) is almost always thinnest. Sometimes they grow too fast and crack open there. This one was fun to watch grow!

Today is Adams last day at CBS13. In his 3 yrs with WGME, he handled every blizzard, tornado, wind storm, & ave weather day as a professional. We can probably all agree his approach to creativity is unmatched in the weather business. Good luck my friend, it has been a great run.

Lots of flooding comparisons between yesterday's blizzard & the 78 blizzard. Dug this one up today. I was too young to remember, and apparently my dad liked to drink shiltz beer. Strollers have come a long way. You rocked it mom.

This male snowy owl was spotted in coastal ME last week. Sherrie tells me she uses a 600 mm lens to photograph the birds from a long distance. Expert's suggest too much close contact with humans can stress the snowy owls, and it's recommended to provide them with plenty of space.

Almost exactly 18 years ago to the day, I had pleasure of recording 145 mph up there. Was the most exciting day of my weather career. No doubt fun for the observers on duty this morning .
It's off the charts! Incredible wind storm ongoing this morning, with a peak gust of 148 mph the highest in over a decade!
