Maine Winters

When southerners think of Maine, they think of snow, lobsters, and moose. Pretty much that that sums it up. Maine is cold. and the worst state out of 50. This state consists of two seasons. Summer and winter. there is no in-between. It is cold 6 months of the year and warm 6 months of the year. I am sick and tired of fearing for my life every time I want to leave my house. My steps are ice, my driveway is ice, my car wont start. They call this "Vacation Land"? I call it cold and bumpy land. Cause with cold, comes bumps. Frost heaves. Not just any frost heaves, im talking ones where you go air borne, and  pot holes so big you disappear. I do not remember the last time i woke up in the middle of march and had ice formed around my window. I also don't ever remember it being 0 degrees in the middle of march. Why cant winter be one month? If we had 3 huge snow storms during the month of December and through Christmas and new years everybody would be happy and summer could start early. Don;t get me wrong... I love ice fishing and hunting in the cold of November but i would rather hunt and fish in 50 degree weather rather than 10 below. Same goes with snowmobiling Its awesome! except for the fact that I go for about 2 hours strait and realize i might have frost bite in my toes and fingers and when i put my hands in the snow it actually feels warmer than the air. Pretty much that's Maine winters in a nut-shell. And i know its my home but this is getting ridiculous. We need some warm weather or im gunna start throwing 'bows.
