Lewiston and Beyond: A Springtime Celebration of Flowers and Blooming Trees in Maine
It might surprise our readers to know that there are still places in Maine with snow on the ground at the end of April. It's not uncommon for Maine to experience early Spring snowstorms, and in fact, our last significant snow fall was just a few weeks back. April 1st was a nice day this year, but the joke was on us because two days later, inland areas were blessed with over a foot (in some places over 20") of heavy snow. From the nearby Oxbow Beer Garden in Oxford to Eureka Hall far north in Stockholm, restaurants reachable by snowmobile were overrun with enthusiasts enjoying one last snowmo-meal run! Most of the accumulated snow didn't stick around long as temperatures warmed, but even as it's a 60-degree day today, you can see remnants of snowbanks in some places. The last bit of snow that was in the inn parking lot just melted in the last couple of days.
