Temperatures may fall, snow and ice might accumulate, but it isn't until the winter equinox arrives at the end of December that winter makes its official arrival.
Cold temperatures and frozen precipitation can be a mixed blessing. Snow needs to be removed from roads, sidewalks and driveways, but it provides innumerable opportunities for enjoyment as well.
The pleasure and the nuisance of snow have long been part of Maine's winter landscape.
