It snowed last night! Unfortunately, I am not at home for the weekend (where they got 3 inches with 2 more inches coming!) but am visiting family closer to the coast… still we got half an inch here and I got some pictures.
Ok this isn't snow, but the maple tree is ready to put out leaves, just thought I'd share that too haha.
The snow here is almost completely gone due to rain… although the rain keeps switching back to snow and it's fun to watch fall.
Better yet, since I usually see my last snowfall around this time of year, I can say that I'm at least satisfied until next year. At least winter went out with somewhat of a bang. 
After this melts… bring on the greenery!
Wow, it looks beauitful . I always wanted to visit Maine but never got the chance yet, it's one of the more beauitful states.
You got some real good pic. maineman i miss the snow allready lol. 8 more months and ill have my snow again whew..
Nice Pictures! I guess that will be the last for awhile. LOL! Grandin,you just had to say it didn't you!
hey theMaineman, does maine have a desert in it. I was told the maine had this small desert and i wanted to know if it was true. It does't make sense that there would be a desert that sees a lot of rain during the year?
A small part of Maine is classified as tundra. A tundra is classified as a cold desert so there ya go.
thx fatherfrost for the answer
Hi blizzardlord…
I believe that you're refering to the Desert of Maine in Freeport (about 15 miles or so north of Portland on the coast.) It's not really a true desert in terms of precipitation, it just looks like one. It actually used to be rich farmland… but the land use was very poorly managed and they drained the soil of all nutrients, messed up the ecosystem, and the ecosystem in that small area resembles that of an arid desert, despite around 40-45 inches of water per year. It actually has loose sand, sand dunes, everything is just like a desert.
The rest of the state is one big forest with a bunch of rivers/streams/lakes/ponds. Open fields are a rarity outside of Freeport, haha.
That's only a trace, I think. Not everything had snow on it, but I'm being too crytical.
Those are beautiful pictures, and I'm glad they are not where I live!
thank you themaineman
Glad you got your snow MM. I had my fingers crossed for you. Last week I was wishing I had your weather! It was really hot down here for April. Mercy…it is going to be a long summer.
Thanks for the pictures and your explination of the Desert in Maine. I never knew about that.
We officially declare the spring heat wave “over.”
Low 70's here, with it feeling so hot I cannot understand who I ever tolerated 80 degrees each day for a week! Though not liking 55 on Sunday! I will go crawl in a hole if that happens.
It's gotta be April… the weather goes from accumulating snow a few days ago to 65 degrees with possible thunderstorms today.
It originally looked like a cold snap this weekend might bring some more snow, but now it looks way too warm with lows around 40. The blackfly season is definitely starting…got my first bite yesterday… they'll get really bad once we get our last freeze of the year, whenever that will be.
