It’s been a snowy, cold winter in Maine and here are a few quotes I’ve heard during these long winter days. But I’m feeling better; they’re predicting rain next week. Rain on top of four feet of snow? Mercy!

* So far, winter has cost me 1 snow shovel,  2 bruised ribs from falling on the ice and 1 marriage.

* Snowbanks are so high, the snow fleas are wearing parachutes.

* It’s been so cold, folks are wanting Pastor Ben to preach on “Hell.”

* Those poor weather guys on TV are wearing their third Stormwatch sweater.

 *When an old Indian was asked why he was so accurate in predicting this cold winter. He said he went by  the size of the white man’s woodpile.
