Winter

Today was the first day of real snow in Maine, and, as I remember, the weather man didn't know what was going on.:) He said the snow would flurry on the coast through the night tonight, but it was spitting snow when I walked out the door this morning at 5:15am.:) It was neat to drive to work with the snow flying at me-I was much less nervous than I thought I would be. I remember always feeling like I had knots in my stomach every time it snowed when I had to drive to school! The snow stopped about 9am and then started up in HUGE, wet flakes when I started home around 3:30pm. Snow is strange, though, because the flakes were HUGE at Lowes, in Brunswick and the ground was very wet and the temp was 34, so I was worried about the roads getting slick, but, by the time I got to Bath (a 6 mile drive) it was raining and 35.
The moral of the story is-there is no reason to freak out, just take it as it comes and drive slow. Still no snow on the ground, so no photos yet, but they'll come. It's my first winter home in Maine in a long time, so I am sure I'll be photographing A LOT of snowy scenes.:)
