With record snowfalls pounding the New England states, it might be a good time reflect on winter weather that the locals are used to. In Atlanta, I don’t think anyone would fine photos like this on the official state facebook page. These are from Maine — celebrating the snow!
Snow coming this weekend? No problem. Let’s put it up on the facebook page. To some this may be a warning to head back south, but for Mainiacs it is a great reason to get out and enjoy the weather the way it is supposed to be.
Maine likes to hold world records, even when they seem silly. I agree with one of the comments made about this record-setting snowwoman/man. It looks like a lighthouse. It is Olympia SnowWoman, and she was built in Bethel in 2008. The town also holds the record for world’s tallest snowman – Angus, King of the Mountain – which was built in 1999 and stood 113 feet, 7 inches.
Only in Maine: Have you seen The International Sign at the intersection of Routes 5 and 35 in Oxford County?
