This winter has been one for the record books in Maine. But, not for the reasons some might think. Last year felt like blizzard after snow storm after blizzard after snow storm. This year we’ve had some respite from the constant cold and chill that we’ve come to love. Snow comes, but warmer temps have kept the outdoors relatively pleasant. To celebrate what has, up until now, been a mild winter, here are 17 incredible shots of winter in Maine.
- Frozen falls in rural Maine.
