WEATHER WISE INFO

The Main bay of Sebago did not freeze again this season.

This is the second year in a row that it did not freeze.

Caroll Cutting of Jordan's store says that records show

that this happened back in the 1800's.

It has been many many years, since it has happened like this again.

The main bay did not freeze in 1990-91 season also.

This makes it the third season in this decade of ice free main bay.

This winter I kept track of the Snow Depth In Southern Maine.
