As Roy Scheider (RIP) would have said, "You're going to need bigger feet next week."
From the NWS Gray/Portland today at 3:35 p.m.:
LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
VERY ACTIVE PATTERN COMING UP WITH A MAJOR STORM BEING FCST BY THE
MODELS SUNDAY. NAM/GFS/ECMWF ALL FCST RAPIDLY DEEPENING STORM OVER
THE NE SUNDAY WITH SIMILAR TRACK. PLENTY OF COLD AIR IN PLACE WITH
HIGH PRES ANCHORED JUST NORTH OF MAINE. THIS SHOULD PRODUCE
COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF QPF AND HENCE SNOWFALL. THE BIG QUESTION IS
WILL ENOUGH WARMER AIR INFILTRATE THE COAST TO CHANGE PRECIP TO A
MIX OR EVEN RAIN FOR A TIME. LOOKING AT BUFKIT DATA INDICATES THAT
THERE WILL INDEED BE A CHANGEOVER AT THE CST. AT THIS POINT THE
NAM APPEARS TO BE THE COLDEST KEEPING THE MAJORITY OF THE PRECIP
SNOW. THE GFS CHANGES SNOW TO A MIX AND EVEN TO RAIN SOME DISTANCE
INLAND. THE GFS IS PROBABLY TOO WARM. FOR NOW WILL NOT MENTION A
PSBL MIX FOR COASTAL COMMUNITIES. THIS WILL ALL BE REFINED WITH
TIME.
ONCE THE SUNDAY SYSTEM GOES BY MONDAY WILL BE VERY COLD AND BREEZY
WITH SNOW SHOWERS. MONDAY NIGHT VERY COLD WITH TEMPS BELOW ZERO IN
MANY PLACES. MAY APPROACH WIND CHILL ADVISORY CRITERIA MON AND MON
NGT.
TUES TEMPS WILL BE A BIT HIGHER THAN MON BUT STILL COLD.
TUES NIGHT CLOUDS MOVE IN WITH PRECIP BREAKING OUT AHEAD OF A COLD
FRONT. SNOW IN MTNS WITH SNOW S PSBLY CHGING TO MIX. A FEW INCHS
OF SNOW PSBL. WINDS WILL INCREASE FROM SW.
WED PRECIP LINGERS INTO THE MORNING HOURS AND MAY CHG BACK TO SNOW
IN SRN AREAS.
WED NIGHT MORE COLD AIR FILTERS IN. THURS A WEAK DISTURBANCE MOVES
THROUGH WITH SNOW SHOWERS.

We missed most of the storms you all had last winter. I'm looking forward to getting in some neighborhood time on the 'shoes and skis.
