Post Reply New Topic

I'm going to Maine to visit my Dad, who I haven't seen in two years. I'm kind of nervous, because it's cold and it's cold. And I might not be able ot come on for the next 11 days!

But...I get to see my Dad. 11 days!! ! Off to pack now, I leave Sunday morning.

Oh, wow! Have a great time!

Dress with your warmer clothes and you'll be okay.

Maine isn't cold... it's COLD.

If you're going to be on the coast it won't be that cold, it get's colder inland. Also, December in Maine can be a mixed bag as far as weather is concerned. Two years ago, we got over a foot of snow on December 20, and on the 24, it was close to 60 degrees in Portland. --The really cold weather usually happens in January and February.

Several weeks after the above mentioned Christmas, the temperature range dropped down to high temps of 2 degrees, and low temps of -25 or so, --which isn't exactly normal for coastal Maine.

Average winter temps in Maine are usually in the 15-30 degree range. If you're going to be there for a while, you should be able to acclimate in 2-3 weeks. Best of luck. Also, go to an Amato's and treat yourself to an Italian sandwich and a whoopie pie.

Actually, Maine isn't that bad, unless you go up to The County, or you're in the Mountains, It can get a mite nippy there. --If you want to experience real cold, go to Grand Forks, North Dakota, about this time.

Yep. I'll second that.

ALASKA!! !
