In New Hampshire, the temperature was minus 18 in Berlin and minus 14 in Whitefield.

Maine===OPEN FOR BUSINESS!!
If you’re tough enough….
Where? Where? I am looking for work
Good – kill them ticks
yessah
Wouldnt that be nice, but im guessing that they are hitching a ride on warm bodies this time of year.
LIHEAP anyone?
This is “News”? It’s Maine in the Winter time.
Next up, “It Rained in the Spring”, then, “Days get Longer & Hotter in the Summer”.
LOL !
Hey, with lines like that you too could be an AP Reporter.
On slow news days anyways?
Yep, you can always count on Maines SIX seasons, Winter, Spring, Mud, Summer, Construction, and Fall
What about tourist/terrorist season? Not to mention campaign, hunting, fishing, and, my favorite, Bay Season(ing)! Enjoy the cold, it keeps away Floridians.
Very GOOD scooterj – take 5 from the petty cash!!!
But Campaign season only comes every two years (for those things that really, really count- like the Gov .and the Pres.) and then they are “hunting” and “fishing” for votes. As for “Bay” I use it constantly!!!
No it is eight months of winter….July 4th summer and than it is all down hill again….I flew into Virginia last week and it was a cool 19 degrees above…and they said on the news that it was frigid out side…oh yeah…T Shirt weather in Maine…not frigid…20 below is frigid….Lol…
Let’s not forget the leaves falling off trees on windy days in the fall and the grass growing, so many articles on snow removal but lack a lot of grass cutting stories in the spring/summer months Soon there will be a webcam “watching grass grow” once the webcam “watching snow melt in warm weather” is done.
Everyone’s a critic …
Its making ice and i love it!!!!!!
Must be Bush’s fault. Elect more democrats to fix this climate problem.
We’ll just pipe in some of the hot air from Congress. All the Tea Party crowd yelling “No” all the time. That should do the trick.
Maine—-Winter—-Cold……. who can we blame for the obvious? Since this didn’t seem to break any records, why waste ink or electrons. Must be slow as Molasses in January at the news desk. Go out and enjoy the fresh air.
Really thankful they got this from the AP even and published this, I never would have thought after living in Maine all my life that cold weather can come during January, I was mad when I had to put my flip flops away (/sarcasm)
I hope it stays cold long enough to kill the ticks and lice.
Maine. January. What part of this makes “cold” a surprise?
I just hope the snow stays away, we have had it pretty good so far when it comes to snow.
