Snow in Millinocket Maine


Just a little bit of snow! Very windy conditions on Friday after the snow we got during the night. This is picture of the highway in front of the Deadriver gas station. The snow has melted quite a bit...you can see all of this sign now compared to last week when just about half of it was covered up by snow.


Just a bit further down the street you can see that we do recycle here in the boonies!! lol Snow just keeps piling up around here! No sign of spring yet!!!


Two teens walking on the sidewalk..even though they are snow covered. The one on the far left was just about to fall on the ice! Very cold and blustery day. Not too many people out..wind-chill is about 1 degree F and winds were gusting to 50 MPH most of the day.


Little bit of snow in the park on main street. The spruce tree is growing steadily and it getting quite big. They are still able to decorate it for Christmas.

Don't know where we will put any more snow. Our streets are so narrow now that two cars can't pass side by side...one has to move into a driveway for the other to pass it.

It has been a wild couple of days. Thursday we got snow and then the winds came in. The northern part of the state got over 20 inches of new snow and heavy winds for 2 days. We only got 4 or 5 inches of snow, but the winds made it difficult to drive because of the blowing snow. Our house was just a swaying most of the night..told my DC that we had a vibrating bed! The house just kept shaking all night and day long. DH had to work 11-7 shift on Thursday..so Friday morning he came home and plowed us out and then went to bed and slept for 5 hours. He said the bed felt like it was rocking all day long...lol I HATE the wind when it's like this. These old houses sure have withstood some pounding by the winds over the last 90 years. And they stand up better then the new houses being built. All wood and none of that "pretend" stuff they call wood today as my grandmother called it. Real 2 by 4s and all...they cut their wood the true size, not this 1 3/4 by 3 3/4 that they do today. haha

Well this picasa won't let me put up any more than 4 photos at a time so will do the others of the interstate at another time. One of the cats decided she wanted to go out at 1 a.m. so waiting for her to do her thing and then heading back to bed!

KNIT ON!!!
