I really think that flags need to be more simplistic...which is why I love the old Maine flag over the current one.

Keep close eyes on the weather forecast. Our weather changes frequently and radically. Find ways to be prepared for cold inclement weather such as a gasoline generator if you lose power, nice snow shovels, nice boots, nice gloves, and a nice scarf. If lots of snow is on the horizon, shovel out your driveway at least once during the storm.
