but snow density is so low these days. i just checked the depth at my dad's place in central Maine and it's sitting at 10in, which is utterly pathetic for mid-Feburary. that's probably fully melted before the end of March.
they're still a problem for rural places, particularly farms, as they're low and flat and have heavy machines churning it up. but it's not something you have to plan for in terms of hiking or fishing or whatever else, or at least no more than any place. if it rains a lot it'll get muddy, that's how she goes
