    I was snowmobiling in Baxter yesterday. There are tons of snow. It will be a while. Be patient.

    We've got over 120 inches of snow this winter in Maine and over 150 inches in the mountains. It's getting pretty crazy up here!

    trust me, you'll be glad you didn't. Rivers will probably be higher this year than they have been in about 4 years. plus, remember those lovely black flies and mosquitoes. Its gonna be a buffet!!

    You got that right. The crossing will be high this year. The bugs will most likely be worse but they may be a little later coming out in the mountains.

    May 19th. 9:04AM. As opposed to May 17th.

    Seriously, I think he means that it will take longer for the snow/ice to go away, therefore the bugs will be delayed.
