This is the worst stretch over a couple of years.

The last two winters have been relatively mild by Maine standards.

It makes me wonder how all the people who moved to the state during the pandemic are faring this year.

Maine is not the place to be if you rely upon or are expecting consistent infrastructure - public utilities, internet, social services, government or municipal institutions. Folks tend to be extremely self reliant because they have to be or come here because they want to be.

I’m not casting aspersions one way or the other.

I liken Maine to be a kind of latchkey state. Let yourself in, fix yourself something to eat, and someone will be home later. Maybe.
