It’s getting more difficult to find enough winter in Maine for traditional activities. Longtime ice fishermen, snowmobilers, skiers, skaters and others who rely on winters to be cold and snowy are feeling the strain of a warming Maine. People from other states who traditionally come to Maine for snowmobiling and ice fishing trips are moving up their normal dates or relocating their vacations to new parts of the state, hoping to catch some winter. Some are canceling their visits, leaving vacancies at lodges that normally are booked solid.
