The days are getting longer and the grass is getting greener. Flowers are beginning to sprout, and seasonal businesses are beginning to stir. Those are all surefire signs of spring in Maine.

So as one of the warmest winters in Maine history reaches the finish line and spring is about to take over, towns and cities across the state are going to feel like it's still winter with a burst of frigid air. As the great poet Alanis Morissette once penned, "Isn't it ironic, don't you think?"
