Caribou had 9.8 inches, which was the ninth-lowest total on record. And in Portland, the 3.2 inches of snow was the seventh-lowest snowfall total since records began in 1871.
The average temperature for the month in Bangor was the third-highest on record, at 7.5 degrees above normal. Caribou was nearly 11 degrees above normal — the second-warmest February on record.

my neighbors roof has been green moss all february and part of january. I am in bangor maine.
it is a blessing really, I did some welding, and needed a calm winter...I got one.
In contrast, all around has snow records to speak of, florida went into a chill this year with new orleans...
It takes warm to move the cold. It is that simple.. I pondered what the asian eclipse of last summer was going to do this winter, as that too was a 100 year event. 6 minutes, changed six months...?
