\"Snowman<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

After another winter, and with early spring upon us, perhaps this is a good time to reflect on our ever-changing world and environment. Do you have an experience to share that contrasts the climate of decades ago when winters seemed to be colder and a little longer than in recent years?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps it was ice skating in early November; snow lasting into April; or being able to start the garden a week earlier than when you were younger; or maybe there is simply a remarkable weather event that you experienced and will never forget. Whether you spent your life in Maine or have lived in places far and wide: If you have a story to tell, please share it with us!
