Looking at the forecast and the various weather maps, it appears we are likely to experience a significant snowstorm this week. Despite having only a little snow all winter, it seems last season has decided that it is not done with us even if it is well into spring.
March in Maine often surprises us with a dusting of white, reminding us that winter still holds its grip even as spring tiptoes closer. We've been relishing the warmer days, a welcome relief after a winter that seemed hesitant to show its face. But don't let a late-season snowstorm dampen your spirits; spring is surely on its way, even if Saturday's forecast promises another snowstorm.
I finally caved and invested in a fresh set of rain gear. When your livelihood depends on guiding outdoor excursions rain or shine, this becomes a routine expense. Over the past four decades, I reckon I've gone through about ten, maybe a dozen sets of rain gear.
