Under normal weather standards today would be considered a pretty good day in March. It is cloudy, threatening rain / snow showers and in the low 40's.

Yesterday - the first day of spring was incredible - it would have made a perfectly good first day of summer. It was sunny, no wind and the temp made it well into the 60's. The clouds moved in late in the afternoon, but the temp still held in the 60's. Both Bangor and Portland broke record highs for the day.

We are in need of a good warm soaking rain. We are behind! The last significant precipitation was February 26th when we had 1.78 inches of rain (not snow). That was the weekend of heavy rain and snow to the south of Hancock county.

Fir trees in the yard when we had snow. My land is a mixed forest - maple, oak, pine and various fir trees.
