Winter officially arrives on December 21st, so now is the time to make plans!

No big secret, winter kinda blows in Maine sometimes, but that having been said, we happen to live in one of the most beautiful states in the entire country, so it would be silly to not take full advantage of that...right?

If the short days, and long, cold nights get you down, there are plenty of options to turn that frown upside down, and really get out there enjoy what Maine has to offer.

With that in mind, we have come up with a handy, dandy list of 13 things you can do to keep those winter blahs at bay!

There is a little something for everyone, be it a family outing, or if you are flying solo, or with a group of friends.

For even more ideas, the Visit Maine website will hook you up!
