Revenge of Old Man Winter

So, last week we were enjoying 50º temps with tons of sun. Today: 10" inches of snow in our area and up to 24" in the mountains. And the skiers rejoiced. Yea.

The Guvnah (governor for those of you out of the state of Maine) even declared a state of emergency so power crews from other states could come in a restore power to up to 275,000 currently without electricity.

But, there is a silver lining, sort of. A couple of weeks ago, I was at our local LL Bean outlet and found the ultimate bargain: a pair of $130 snow pants with all the bells and whistles for $25. What a deal!

I didn't think I was going to be able to try them out until next Winter. Guess I was wrong...
