Discover Maine

Winter in Maine - It's finally cooling off. Nights in the mid 20's; days in the low 40's. Still a bit warm for December in Maine, but winter is about here. Sunday River's had a few false starts. Man made snow was within 200 feet of Barker lift when a heat wave hit and melted everything. They opened however on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.

Here's a winter tease from one of my favorites the Humble Farmer.dec 4, 2006

Fall Foliage - The trees of Maine are starting to show their...fall colors. The peak of the season in many parts of the state will coincide with the long Columbus Day week-end. For a weekly breakdown by week-end expectations Down East magazine does a terrific job. See page October 2008 page 50.

Hunting Season - Seasonal changes mean the outdoorsman will shift gears. Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife should be checked to confirm you are fishing or hunting within the laws of Maine.

Fryeburg Fair - A sure sign fall has arrived is when the trucks carrying Smokey's Greater Shows and live stock trailers head down route 5 past the store headed for Maine's premier country fair and the end of the fair season....the Fryeburg Fair.
