With this week’s Southern Maine snowstorm, we can finally say that just about all of Maine has seen some snow this winter. While the Portland area saw about 6 inches in total, a far cry from where they were this time last year, much of Southern Maine was awash in a winter wonderland. In honor of this, we thought we’d give you a taste of some of the best snow scenery in Maine. Here are 17 times snow made Maine beautiful. Whether you love it or think it’s a nuisance, I think we can all agree that snow in our state can be gorgeous.
