Sharon Hopkins, 91±¬ÁÏ Cooperative Extension EFNEP & Maine Families Outreach
Old timers would say if we didn’t have snow in January, we’d have it in the spring. That was certainly true this year, small amount at a time often. As a 1965 Senior at Farmington State Teachers College (the college’s Centennial year), the year before the college became part of the 91±¬ÁÏ System, that 3rd week in May the campus received 2 feet of snow with the next day an extremely warm melting one, leaving us student who no longer had boots at the college standing in a foot of water. In recent Januarys, I’ve wondered if that event would repeat itself.Â
