Hi all!
Back in 1999 my neighboring town of Bethel, Maine built the tallest snowman in the world, near Sunday River Ski Area. It created quite the fuss. Last week, they had a new dedication of the tallest snowwoman in the world. Her name is Olympia (after Olympia Snow) and she really is incredible. You can go to the website and view the live webcam, I believe.
She is 122 ft. 1 in. tall.

That's insane

That's one way of beating cabin fever ..
I wonder how long it will take to melt

Dorothy, we are having snowstorms about every other day. I blame Ross

...he thinks he has to share everything!

At this pace, I think we may see spring bulbs by late July or early August. Honestly, I have not seen a winter like this since my preteen years (a good two years ago or more

).
I wish I had thought to post this earlier so all could watch the progress with the live webcam. It was something to see. Darn! As always, a day late and a dollar short.

Oh that Ross .. you can't say he hasn't been generous ..
Hopefully, you'll get spring sometime this year
