Kim Smith, vice chair of Aroostook County Tourism, says, “Up until about two weeks ago, we had green grass, in northern Maine, where we normally have 6-7 feet of snow. And people come from New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut to go snowmobiling, or to enjoy our other wonderful winter sports that we have here. It’s devastating. At the same time, some of the hotels are seeing a fairly good crowd. But the impact of not being able to have events, it’s very hard.”
