February 9, 2013 Blizzard Nemo or not…the dog needed to out. So, we did. Here are a few shots from my driveway and the front of my house in Augusta. The house faces north so we get some ‘interesting’ designs from the snow when the wind blows
February 8, 2013 You may have heard we have a little winter weather on the way. Ok, we have a blizzard on the way for New England. Enjoy and be safe in the snow. Here are a few little things to remember as you enjoy the storm.
February 7, 2013 You may have heard that it is winter in Maine and we are expecting a big snow storm this weekend. Those things happen. What is new is that apparently winter storms are getting names. This big storm that is expected to bring us one to two feet of snow is being called “Nemo.” Really?
January 31, 2013 It's going to be a busy and fun weekend in the greater Skowhegan area for the annual Lake George Regional Park's winter carnival Saturday, Feb. 2nd. Events will include cardboard box sled races, a chili cook-off and an ice fishing derby.
January 26, 2013 We just finished a week of some of the coldest weather in Maine over the past decade. The furnace seems like it is always running and oil and kerosene prices have been going up as the temperature has been going down. I live in a mobile home and must use kerosene, instead of heating oil, to heat my home.
January 25, 2013 If you have snowmobiles and they are registered in Maine, New Hampshire or Vermont you can go exploring this weekend, January 25 to 28, 2013! ‘Reciprocal Snowmobile Weekend’ is on now until Sunday and allows all legally registered Maine snowmobiles to be operated in New Hampshire and Vermont without being registered in those states.
January 24, 2013 The annual Bethel Winterfest is coming up starting on February 9th and continuing for three consecutive weekends. The Winterfest will feature a snowcano, a volcano made of snow! It all takes place at Festival Plaza in Bethel.
January 23, 2013 A new event is coming next month to Lewiston. An Ice Festival will be held at Fountain Park in Lewiston on February 22nd, 23rd and 24th. The festival will feature three ice bars, plenty of food, live music and a 8-foot-tall Sasquatch ice sculpture!
January 22, 2013 Ugh. Winter in Maine is not my favorite time of the year. I am not a big fan of the cold or the snow. Why do I live here? The rest of the year is darn nice. So, as I was standing in out in the cold at the Augusta Dog Park (Yeah, I hate the cold, but I will stand out in it for my fur-baby!) it dawned on me I have a short list in the last couple of years that have made winter much more manageable for me.
January 21, 2013 Winter in Maine, you either love it or deal with it. Winter lovers will have a blast on Saturday, February 2nd with the 4th annual Let's Go! Winter Carnival at the Quarry Road Recreation Area in Waterville.
