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.
