		<description><![CDATA[Memorial Day weekend&#8230; the weekend where Northern New Englanders can traditionally start to plant crops that do not tolerate any level of frost, will bring conditions more typical of April than of late May. Today is not even expected to reach 50 degrees in my town, with a forecast high of 49 degrees. Snow levels [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Any advice? Trying to get it all by the roots has not helped much, and has been quite time consuming. It&#8217;s grown in with some grass and obviously it sucks to be walking barefoot or laying down into sharp thistle. Thanks!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just wondering if anybody has a feel for whether or not I&#8217;ll see any more snowstorms this season. It&#8217;s early April and the thermometer is starting to reach 50 and even close to 60 in the 10 day forecast, with lows staying above freezing. However, I know that this does not necessarily rule out the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week last year, a record-breaking warm spell came over Maine and quickly erased people&#8217;s memories of the weak winter that preceded it. Each day that week was 70+ degrees, but the warmest days were March 21 and 22 when the thermometer reached a record-smashing 81 degrees. It was the first time that I ever [...]]]></description>

Northern New England is certainly no stranger to snowstorms in late March and even April, and the tradition will continue on Tuesday when the next storm rears its head.   The cold will continue as well, meaning the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Only in the last couple of days have the meteorologists upgraded this storm to a potential blizzard, but now it is verifying. Liquid ratios of 30:1, sustained winds of 40+ mph and whiteout conditions will all but guarantee a blizzard. Snowfall forecast is 16-28 inches. Have around 4 inches so far, but the snow is [...]]]></description>
