I live in Hartford Maine. I would be happy to share my snow pics from last year. I sent some to a friend in March of my husband on our tractor moving the snow and she asked why he wasn't smiling. Last year we had a tremendous amount of snow and I ended up trading in my civic with the studded snow tires for a Subaru All Wheel Drive Impreza. I made that decision the 5th time in a week I stuffed myself into the snowbank at the end of the driveway - blocking the driveway and part of the road for all of our town to snicker at. I am not sure I would want to retire here. We also have the highest taxes of any state. Just a "for instance" our vehicle registration just went up to $35 that is on top of the huge excise tax - $475 for my car, registration fee of $35 and a clerk fee of $20 or more. Our state just passed a wine and beer tax that is hopefully on its way to repeal by the voters - that was passed by our legislators in a late night session with no
discussion or public there. Quite an uproar. Not much industry left
