While most of you are enjoying tulips, daffodils and other cheerful harbingers of warm weather…in Maine things look a little different.
.
.
We had a good old fashioned N’or Easter on Thursday.
.
.
With high winds and wet heavy snow.
.
.
It was the pretty kind that sticks to bushes and makes everything feel like a winter wonderland.
.
.
But it also weighed down trees, snapped branches and left half of our state without power.
.
.
I think we ended up with a foot, though with the wind it’s hard to tell.
.
.
Since the temperatures hovered near freezing it was that awful wet, heavy snow that you have to constantly go out and clear before it becomes too saturated to move.
.
.
Yes… springtime in Maine can be a bit of a challenge.

River's world..... 
Certainly more of a winter wonderland than spring. Brrr.

In Maine you never know. We’ve had frost in May…

Many years ago we had a snow day in early May. The best thing about that is the day off, but the second best thing about any late spring snow day is how quickly it’s gone!

Well crap, sorry Mother Nature is having her hot flashes up there. It’s beautiful but I’m sure it’s annoying as hell to have Spring one week and winter again another, ugh.

It’s all the melting and refreezing I hate. I’m fine with snow that stays snow…

It has been known to snow at times through April…often makes me think they really need to refashion when seasons start. More and more there are only two Sprinter where winter stays a bit longer and Sumter where it’s ungodly hot when Fall starts

Since my hot flashes won’t let go, 50-60 degrees is perfect.

I was raised here. Even with hot flashes, I liked it 82. I was fortunate that they were rare.

We’ve had seven months worth of rain in the last four months. It seems this winter most of your moisture has been snow, ours rain. Your precipitation is much nicer to look at.🙂🌂

No, honestly we’ve had more rain. We had grass all winter and the snow from Thursday is half gone already.

Maybe for me it is simply the shock of seeing any snow on this side of the country. It’s become quite rare in our area the last couple of years.🙂

We ended up with half that amount and it all melted within a day or two. I’m sure you’ll be seeing green grass again soon, too.
