All rain down here.
It's headed up to 45 degrees.

It looks like November out there instead of April

"....start drinking heavily until people stand around you and ask, "Are you ok buddy?"

I was out in shirt sleeves doing yard work just the other day. If you dont like the weather in Maine. Wait a second.

When I went to pick up books yesterday, I walked past a gas grill completely covered in icicles....as were the trees. Then I drove deep into the woods to look at some sap lines and found most of them covered in ice. Oh, so beautiful but not too spring-y.

I was happy to see another post from you this morning, thanks.

Gets real cold in the winter, but I can always put on another layer of sweaters and long handle underwear. Tried Houston once and in the middle of the summer I found you can only take off so much and still it's 90 some degrees and 99 percent humidity.

I've found the only perfect weather is in coastal San Diego. Only problem is it takes a quarter million $ to live there. Once every few years I visit in February.

but, hey, that's just me.

I'm in MA. Not so great.

Michigan winters are the best, that’s why Michigan is known as “Water-Winter Wonderland”. When people ask me why I love winter, I tell them...”You keep meat in the refrigerator or freezer to keep it from spoiling...so I’ll last longer in the cold than you that stays in the warm places.”

Where are you, safe? I’m in Hale about 15 miles west of Tawas.

Not far from you, just down the street from the Soaring Eagle. Spent most of my life in SE Michigan.

I was out on my snowshoes only three times all winter. On one of our recent "balmy" days, I raked the remainder of the leaves off my gardens, finding hellebores trying to bloom through the ice and 1/8" tips of bulbs poking up. Now, with new snow, they're cursing me for uncovering them. Sorry, guys!

Portsmouth, NH isn't all it's cracked up to be...

Along the coast. I heard Keith say that as well. You post made me ponder how I ended up here. I moved from Jersey to Maine in 98...so I am "from away." I go to to visit grandchildren down there now and again. The ride is horrible (getting worse as I age), the summer is HUMID and there are simply too many people. The further south you go...the traffic gets worse. Folks are just always in a hurry. They drive like they just robbed the local bank.
Maine gave me the simplicity and slower pace I craved. Yep, I am bummed when I look outside. With the way things are going down the toilet with Trump and gang, we toyed with perhaps Canada as an option....maybe? Then I think of their winters up there. Looks like I will stick with Tim Janis playing softly, a good book, hot tea and very warm socks till May.
Hang in there and keep this thought...there is no better place to be than in Maine in the "summah".
