In the Pine Tree State, better known as the state of Maine, things are said and done a bit differently than in the rest of the 49 states. And frankly, we like it like that!

    Talk About Snow Like We Never Get It

    If you're going to live in Maine, then you may as well get used to the snow. Is not IF we're getting snow, but WHEN we're going to get it and how much. Don't expect to shovel your long dooryard with a snow shovel.
