Just thought I'd share this.
I'm from northern Maine, extreme northern Maine. Here's a map:

Just figured I'd share my website which is dedicated to this location, known as the St John Valley.
Basically, we're about 50-60 miles north of Caribou through the woods...you're driving along over rolling hills and suddenly come upon a large Valley that stretches from near the Allagash wilderness over and around the tip of northern Maine to south of Van Buren. Up here the closest real city is Quebec City, I can see New Brunswick/Canada right now just looking out my window. It's directly across the St John River.
The nearest section of Quebec is about 10 miles north of here.

Here's a quick picture from earlier this last winter, although frankly it stills feels like winter out there. By my standards we're currently having a white easter...the woods are still snowcovered. Kind of nice...although this past winter was significantly lower in the snowfall department, most of which came early in the season, ie Nov and early Dec, so we never really got our snow depth above 20 inches...normal each winter is to push 40 inches by late Feb into mid March. White easters supposedly are very common.



And here's the link to my website, which has a lot more pictures in the photo section, and a little bit of climate info.

Great pic of the snow.

Gorgeous part of the country there, Will, and thank you for sharing with us!

Nice pics there will.. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the compliments.
The website's been put together by my wife and I, so she gets some credit too, lol.
We're updating fairly often...been in a sort of slow period with quite a few papers due, tests to prepare for and the general lack of scenic beauty that accompanies mud season...meaning the period of the year where the snow melts, turns grey and dusty...the ground thaws and becomes marshy...lol

Not to mention that my car was recently incapacitated after hitting a massive frost heave which, unbeknownst to me, smashed the oil pan...and thus our 97 Camry broke down in the middle of nowhere on the 50 mile stretch of road between here and Caribou. Had to wait several hours for AAA to take care of us...and the car is currently being fitted with a new engine...total: around $2,000 dollars.

Will, I really love New England...lived in Rhode Island for a while after birth and a few years later visited friends there and went to places like Gaspee Point, Block Island and Point Judith Lighthouse.

Sorry about your car woes and the huge bill.

It is hard to imagine for me being that cold at this time of the year, but you are in the far northern reaches of this country. I've never been to Maine - I've been to all of the other New England States. It's a wonderful region filled with great history and beauty.

Thanks for the pictures and for highlighting Maine on Storm2k. There are some real hearty weather lovers up your way...know of one in particular in Robbinston!

Thanks for sharing and welcome.
