Washburn. Kind of between Presque Isle and Caribou. About 170 miles North of Eastport.
It could be worse. We could live in Wolf Creek Pass in Colorado. Their latest figures:
Summit Base Depth: 157 inches
Midway Base Depth: 143 inches
Storm Total: 3 inches
Snowfall YTD: 492 inches

I don't know how much snow (season total) we had here but, it was a heck of a lot! We had rain this time, thankfully. It's windy but we only lost power for a few seconds last night and the rooftops are clearing.

This is what's left of Morrison Motors' showroom. It has been closed for quite a few years and until recently was housing antique cars. They were all moved last fall except for a Willys and a 24' Bayliner. Pays to clear the snow from your roof.

Excellant pics 7th, thanks again. I don't always stop to think of what damage can result from snow on the roof, that's a good reminder.

I traveled through Skowhegan today, went by a saloon that has recently collapsed due to snow load.
