Temperatures have moderated and the snowpack is cut down after the rain on Monday. We are back to a normal winter with cold, snow and bright sunny days. The “polar vortex” that all of the weather folks went on about was a cold snap pure and simple. Yes we had temperatures as low as -20 and yes we had plenty of snow and ice in December and early January but this is Maine and it gets cold in the winter and it does snow.
This winter is off to an impressive start. Temperatures well below normal (five below zero this morning) multiple snowstorms and an ice storm sandwiched in the middle. Enough snow for some excellent snowshoeing already!
My guide service specializes in providing outdoor experiences to folks who are new to an activity and helping them be successful while learning. Learn to Fly fish Trips and Family Fishing Trips are some examples of how I do that. This fall and the fall before I had the chance to introduce some first time ever hunters to grouse and woodcock hunting. One at Libby Camps and here in Union I recently took Sharon Kitchens food writer with the Portland Press Herald on her first ever hunt.
