Thats right  Maine  (at least  where I live) finally has some snow. This winter and the last two before this winter have really been something for the history books. The culprit global warming I guess.

Im 30 years old and I remember growing up and  from Thanksgiving untill about march or even April some years we would have snow and a lot of it.

I think everyday  we would have some kind of snowball war or attack the fort. or even tying a rope on the back of the three wheeler Thats right a three wheeler!!!! and being dragged behind it on a sled. Those were the great days (except when I had to shovel the driveway,and the driveway was about 75 yards long as we lived  in the  outskirts of town on a lake.

Now I dont even like shoveling my four steps  I have the whole 3 times It has snowed this year.

I really think kids now are missing out on the joys of  going sledding cross country skiing in the trails out behind your house or a friends.As much as I hate the cold now I really do miss a winter when we have snow it just seems like a cold desolite wasteland out here lately.

Dont get me  wrong Maine is one of the best places to live in this country and I really know I have lived in the four corners of the united states and a few in between. I really recommend going on a vacation to Maine someday in your life if anyone is reading this besides one friend I have here on 202p that lives in Maine.( you know who you are!!! lol)
I would suggest now  though coming in the summer or fall and doing the leef peeping thing.

Anyway I was bored tonight as I pretty much am living by myself these days at least most of the week and just felt like writing.

Well, Maine has an european-like climate, along the lines of what the Netherlands and Belgium experience, mostly. So, I'm totallynot suprised you don't have snow yet, we have early-spring weather, for all accounts, it could be March out there!
