Well, it is true that you can very easily end out shoveling a foot of "partly-cloudy" (which is how it was usually forecasted) maybe once in April, but it does not make much of a dent in most people's psyche because the know that winter behind them. April is a nice month. Most of the locals who do not have many expectations are happy that they survived another winter and did not run out of wood. The recent arrivals have all sorts of needs. But the days are longer in April and the bare ground is showing and you certainly would not trade it in for February.

Winters are cold, snowy and long in Maine but there is also a lot of sunshine once you get past November which can be gray, rainy, snowy and dreary and big let down from October with the warm weather cool nights and brilliant foliage. I have a hard time with November mostly because I love October so much but then it comes to a screeching halt. But as we get into the true winter I harden off a bit like a shrub a bit.

Maine is cold and snowy but I dont think it is as bad or any worse than lots of other places such as upstate new york, etc. Plus it's Maine- not New York! Of coure the northern part of Maine is another climate too. As a piece of trivia that a lot of Americans and Canadians do not know, 80% of the population in Canada lives south of the most northern part of Maine. Look at a map. Of course, I love Quebec City too, so the cold and snow there is not a problem for me either. A little drive up through Maine to Quebec City would do you good. Watch out for the moose.

I shouldn’t laugh because mooses are extremely dangerous traffic hazards, but I got in my mind an image of a frustrated mounty or state trooper shouting on his unit’s PA system, “Bullwinkle, get out of the road!”

By the way I’ve heard mooses are at their most dangerous on the two lane highways of Alaska

that'd be one loooooong trip

If you wanted to be really hardcore Alexander Lingas level virtuoso, you could intone 99 bottles of beer in the wall in each tone in each form of Russian, Ukrainian and Slavonic chant...Kievan Chant, Greek Chant, Imperial Court Chant, Znamenny Chant, Prostopinje, just to name a few.
