When you start a blog about Maine, there is no shortage of topics to hunt peck post.
The Me In Maine blog is easy to feed because the state is so full of all this natural beauty.
Maine offers so many daily opportunities to collect and post photos, videos and simple daily experiences collected to share from around unspoiled Vacationland.
Uploading personal photos of Maine is one easy way to fill a Maine blog post installment.
These Maine images say a lot more than anything a typewriter tries to express. The small rural communities in Maine have plenty of neat activities and beautiful settings to promote but are often the best kept secret! Not a lot of press in small Maine communities.
Over the years, the travel blog posts to here and there around the state of Maine have been the easiest installments to create.
Go to some new location, sample the food, see the sights and post the photos with local copy on what this corner of Maine is like. So much to experience in Maine and it involves a little traveling even when you live instate!
But I think the meatiest ones are sheer FAQ.
You and I search for information daily and notice the questions asked around any query. To me, those frequently asked questions are the meat and potatoes of any blog about Maine.
I am lucky to live here and have past and present experiences to draw from whenever it’s time to feed the blog. But the questions asked by folks who do live here and have limited knowledge about Maine are the hungriest blog post readers.
So here goes for a Me In Maine newest blog post about a couple FAQ.
What are our winters like in Maine?
This Maine weather question comes up daily and the answer for it is no longer cut and dry.
I used to carefully explain up here in Maine there are no polar bears, no one lives in igloos. That we are not amateurs handling winter snow in Maine.
Basically, explaining the stories about winter snow and temperatures in Maine are grossly exaggerated.
Why does Maine winters get the harsh press?
Because many who do not live in Maine and never experienced a winter just repeat what they heard or fear.
For starters, Maine winter snow is a big part of the economy.
When no snow shows up, harder to attract the Maine snowmobilers.
Hard to groom winter snow sled trails without accumulations of the white stuff.
You can make snow at Maine ski areas but it adds to the overhead costs.
Man made is not the same as homemade courtesy of Mother Nature and Jack Frost working in tandem.
Those spreading the bad press about Maine winter weather need to consider a few things. First, how you dress is a big part of how comfortable any season in Maine is. Second, the weather patterns in Maine have changed our winters.
Lack of snow, warmer temperatures during Maine winters have seriously changed the season.
So daily I explain Maine winters were never as bad as many portrayed. That we are outdoors daily in Maine all year long. That you dress for the occasion here in Maine. And if you cross country ski, snowshoe, etc you have to be careful not to be over dressed.
And last but not least, our Maine winters are tamer and lost some of the crisp clean and clear air bite.
The state of Maine just does not get the snow accumulations and colder temperatures to keep it around over the winter months.
So does Maine have four seasons? Sure does. Some would argue there is a fifth one, mud season.
Are winters harsh in Maine?
Not if you dress for them, prepare for them and tackle them like a boy or girl scout to be prepared.
What is it like living in Maine during the winter?
Great, fun, snow covered fluffy white and offering a whole ‘nother level of outdoor recreation fun!
Does Maine get much snow?
Not as much as she did. The stats for snow in Maine.
What state has the worst winters?
Not Maine. I can only tell you from experience in Maine and not venturing out on a limb to judge other states, areas I know zip about. Have spent some time in Colorado and the terrain adds to the snowy adventure.
What are winters like in Maine?
Fine, great, fun.
What do people do in the winter in Maine?
Snow ski, snowmobile, ice fish, ice skate, snow shoe, sliding and all around enjoying being in Maine winter, the other three seasons too.
Once all the weather in Maine questions are addressed, we move on to what the pay scale is like?
How do people make a living in Maine. Like the weather, I have to explain how simple living in Maine works.
You live your life easy does it in Maine and savor the outdoors, woods, wildlife, waterfront and nature.
Others around you who feel the same way and respect the environment. Are good stewards of the land and pass it on in as good or even better shape than they received it.
This attitude and approach to life helps shape how you chose to live it in Maine. We deal with anything that comes down the pike. Take it in stride and prepare for all possible outcomes.
Mainers expect there is going to be adjustment and corrections necessary in our day to day living.
Maybe it is the weather that sets the ground rules of preparation, expectation living in Maine. Have your own set of questions or concerns about Maine? Reach out, here to help and let’s talk! Email, text, come visit us and start the communication connection.
