Looks like Caribou may break the snowfall record if this current storm delivers. Meteorologists are calling for another 9-12 inches over the next 36 hours, so that will push the total just past the 181-inch record for the season.  We’re prepared for it in this household. The city has been trying to widen the sidestreets as they have become one-lane with the snowbanks closing in. Our roof has been cleared off twice and it’s a good thing - it’s been an issue this year for many people. And why a business would have a flat roof in snow country is beyond me. There have been collapses and a lot of property damage because of it.

But Spring is coming and we should have quite a mud season this year. The ground has a shallow freeze this year, so the snow will melt and we’ll have lots of lovely mud. Then, all of a sudden, everything will be green. I never knew how many shades of green there were until I lived here. If any artists have fallen on this blog, you ought to take a visit to Aroostook County, Maine. The vistas are wonderful.
