So you are saying that you have a 'love' / 'painful' relationship with snow?

I discovered our parking lot curb! It was lost months ago, but here it is.

Our mop bucket and wringer was discovered yesterday.

We hope to find our garden soon

Before the next heavy dump that is.

When do you figure the next dump will be?
Just so you know, we are forecast for 6-14" tonight. We will be glad to send some your way. This stuff does go west to east......don't cha know!

Yes, and we have decided to share our snowy white wealth with the rest of the country!

Gov. Baldacci has issued a blanket invitation to everyone who lives south of Portsmouth to come to Maine next winter. Red plastic shovels will be issued to each person coming through the toll booths after November 1. Everyone will be encouraged to join municipal employees and regular natives in our annual snow-removal celebrations; clearing driveways, roadways, walkways, parking lots, and roofs. In the northern reaches of the state, rustic igloo housing will be provided at no cost. L.L. Bean will sponsor a contest in which participants will attempt to find their own cars in the parking lot after a typical 8" snowfall.

See y'all next winter!
