Welcome to Winter in Maine!

Winter. Some years it’s bitterly cold, some years throwing out your back shoveling is almost a given. Other years it’s soggy and mild, or a monotonous gray. Whatever the weather, winter in this part of the world can be long, and definitely dark—which is why it’s important to keep busy, keep healthy and stay happy. Some people eagerly await the months of snow, excited to ski, snowboard and ice skate. Whether you are a winter outdoor enthusiast or not, everyone can appreciate the beauty of fresh-fallen snow—even if it’s quickly followed by grumbling about having to drive in it.
