So, it looks like more snow is coming our way, with the latest storm forecast for an additional 6-10 inches coming down this evening into the day Thursday. A winter storm watch has been issued and the usual warnings — so routine at this point that they seem to be our constant state of being — about potential for hazardous travel conditions.

Ugh.

That seems to be the overwhelming sentiment from most at this point, tired of digging out, driving through and dealing with the snow.

It could be worse for folks in the Mid-coast, though. We could be in a situation like Eastport, which has gotten 99 inches of snow over a 20-day period — an average of 4.95 inches per day. They are down to one lane roads in some places and their three-person public works department has had to rely on volunteers to help clear the sidewalks and streets.

Also, according the latest reports, Eastport won’t be getting any federal emergency management help, because the snowfall hasn’t been the result of one big storm, but a series of storms. According to FEMA’s funding formula, there’s not really a provision for funds for the cumulative effect. How this makes sense is unknown, but the reality is that the town is looking at having to dig itself out, literally and financially.

A positive outlook on the situation, however, is that people are helping others and taking care of their community. And stories like these are popping up all over the state, as folks here have dealt with the series of storms trying to pummel Mainers by reaching out to those who need a hand.

Hopefully that spirit will carry over beyond the storms and into everyday life, not just when Mother Nature creates challenges.

But, for now, let’s keep digging out our neighbors and watching out for those who need help handling the winter weather. Maybe we’ll be done dealing with it once June or July rolls around.
