This morning we have a little light snow falling with the forecast calling for ten to fourteen inches of new snow. Temperatures for the next week will be very cold (highs in the single numbers) and the wind will blow tomorrow on the back side of this storm. Many clients ask about winter in Maine and I tell them that we have ten days in the summer when it is too hot to go outside and ten days in the winter when it is too cold to go outside. Those ten winter days are here!
Last week a group of us went to Millinocket where we rented snowmobiles from the New England Outdoor Center planning to ride through Baxter State Park and return. This trip was perfect with lots of snow in the park and excellent riding conditions. 
As the Executive Director for the Maine Professional Guides Association I spend my winters going to meetings of one sort or another. This Friday I will be at the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine’s annual Sportsmen’s Congress on two different panels one on deer and one on fishing. I have attended most of the Congresses over the years and always learn something new or useful. This year we have been asked to produce a list of three wishes and three roadblocks.
