With ECTA not an option (at this point) I am thinking about going back up to Loring in the spring.  Has the snow even melted by early May?  When I look at the daily weather up there what does the "-" in front of the temperature mean?  Will I need snow tires on the truck?

You will want a heater in the truck.

Last year was nice, two years ago (the event was the last weekend in April that year) I wished I had a car instead of a bike!

Maybe I should bring my Ducati, it has a 600 degree seat heater.  When we came for the fall event in 2015 I was expecting cool weather and it was pretty nice.  We stayed on the coast afterwards and temps were in the 90's, so much for an escape from the Arkansas summer heat.

It's Maine, don't like the weather wait five minutes...seriously.

Like Frank said, the first year was cold, last year was nice. Maine event 15 was cold, last year it was brutally hot.
