Spring has gotten off to a decidedly un-springlike start in many parts of Maine.
While early April snowfalls aren't unusual, the severity of the storms on March 23-24 and April 4 seemed to catch many people by surprise.
Some businesses and residents criticized the outage response by Maine utility companies. At the peak of the storm last week, over 350,000 customers — mostly those of Central Maine Power — were without electricity.
Some people criticized the snowplowing on state and local roads. And some residents said there should have been more warming centers in municipalities where power and heat went out.
