It’s April and the snow just keeps falling

Some residents are looking back fondly, 'this was a real Maine winter' they say. With snow in the forecast for the weekend, others say, 'When does it end?' In the Bethel area a winter of snow, bitter cold, continuous snow drifts, and two foot icicles has extended well past March 20, the first day of Spring.
