We&#x27;ve gotten about an inch of snow up here overnight and this morning, and it looks like we&#x27;re in for a bit more.<br><br>Last year around this time (Apr 4 2024) we lost power because of a storm a bit like this one. It snowed much more heavily, and since the temperature hovered near freezing the snow was a heavy wet mess that tore down power lines and trees. Our power was out for around 4 days. If I recall correctly over 300,000 people were without power at some point, around 1/4 of the population of the state. We&#x27;d had a 2-day power outage only a week earlier, right at the end of March, and were feeling pretty rough by the time the power came back on. We were putting buckets of ice and snow into the refrigerator to keep the food cold that we hadn&#x27;t put in the coolers on the porch. It&#x27;s looking like we&#x27;re in for some more snow yet but I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;ll be like the storm last year.<br><br>The tree in the foreground of this picture was crushed by the ice and snow of that storm last year. I had to take off a couple of limbs that were broken almost completely through.<br><br><a href="/tags/maine/" rel="tag">#maine</a> <a href="/tags/spring/" rel="tag">#spring</a><br>
