Overall it was a pretty mild winter. We
didn't get a lot of snow and most of it
was gone by March. This is good news for
the deer herds. Many of the newborns and
yearlings made it through the winter. It
wasn't an especially good year for
snowmobilers. Ice was out earlier than
normal from the lakes & ponds. Ice
fishing was a somewhat short season.
Speaking for myself...the shorter the
winter the better.
March 8th- The
winter of 2009 to 2010
has really been a mild
overall in Maine. Not a
lot of snowfall and even
warmer than normal
temperatures for the
most part. As you can
see from the pictures
the snow is melting
quickly. The last
several days have been
in the 40's & 50's. Sap
is running already and
the maple syrup industry
is going full blast.
That should be good news
for the deer herds.

This
huge Christmas Tree
decoration as you can see is
on the barn down at what we
old timers call the Poor
Farm. Quite a sight when lit
at night. Some of these I
took before it was quite
dark so you can get an idea
of the design and how it's
displayed. It really looks
much bigger in person. My
digital camera doesn't do a
good job of showing the
actual size. Larry Costa
owns this now and is still
in the process of renovating
the farm. I think it is
going to look real nice when
he gets done. I'm sure a lot
of time and money has been
put into it so far.
Dec. 10th-
Looks like it will be a "White Christmas"
after all.

the almost foot of snow
Andover got. I'm not sure I
spelled Paul's last name
right.
