We get a day, maybe two of sunny skies, warm weather, or what passes for warm for us. A 40 degree temp can have us downright giddy. While friends farther south are smugly announcing flowers blooming, grass greening, frogs spawning. We however are not so easily fooled. Save for some in Southern Maine, but that's another story. I won't go there.
Today anywhere from 3-6 inches of snow are supposed to fall up here in Maine. We'll suffer with it. Quietly cry, moan and scream expletives to the sky. But our winter/spring transition has been a good one. Maple syrup producers are very happy, there is still skiing, and we have mud. Glorious mud, suck the boot right off your foot, swallow your car out of sight, redecorate your floor with muddy paw prints stuff. It scares the tourists. We love/hate it. But it means spring is coming, just give it time.
The blackflies should be great this year.

Winter is behaving like a three year old who won't leave the candy store, kicking and screaming, grabbing every last thing it can in an attempt to hold on. Winter needs a time out.
I still have snow, definitely did not need more. I'm considering an amphibian walk tomorrow night on the coast but looks like joke's on us.
