No, wait, that's not how it goes. The bucket is 13" tall, and it's full. That's in the past week, but we are sposed to get rain for the next 4 days too.

It took me 45 minutes to go a the normal 8 miles to the autoparts store. 3 of the five closest bridges that cross the Farmington river were closed. That's why I have a red canoe on top of my 110, I suppose.

It's not so bad up here. Just a mix of constant light rain with some down pours here & there. Haven't seen the sun in about 10 days. And it's supposed to keep going the rest of the week.

It can never be too hot. It's more fun to strip down then to bundle up!
Anyway, I think it's just a fluke for that Portland. Plus it can't be too far from you so it can't be that drastic of a change.

Well I would much rather bundle up... I like the cold weather best! Yea, portland sounds like it's going to be the best school for me!

If that's the case, check out some of the schools here in Maine. There are some good ones and lots of cold weather! Just bought some new snow shoes for next year.
