Despite the start of winter this week, unusually warm temperatures have slowed business at some outdoor retailers and other companies in Maine that rely on cold weather to sell their products.
At Freeport-based L.L.Bean, sales of heavy winter outerwear have dropped, and other Maine retailers have said that sales of winter coats and boots are down, the Portland Press Herald reported.
