Here you see yesterday afternoon, March 1, a miserable, raw day of rain and occasional small hail that melted several inches of snow and revealed that we still have some sorry-looking grass:
Yet, the day provided hope for those optimists who believe in that famous 18th Century proverb: “If March comes in like a lion” (meaning bad weather), “it goes out like a lamb” (meaning good weather). Most Mainers seem to believe in that even older proverb: “We’ll see.” (Image taken in Brooklin, Maine, on March 1, 2025.)
