I've often been struck by the fact that, even though the series takes place in the frigid state of Maine, it never seems to be wintertime at Collinwood. Where are the snowdrifts, where are the fur-lined parkas, where are the leafless trees? And why is it that none of the thunderstorms ever seem to bring any rain with them?
Of course, I realize that this is basically a result of budgetary restrictions, but I was wondering if anyone else ever noticed this peculiar phenomenon.
