Today’s storm started slowly. In fact Argy and I went for a long walk this morning before it started to snow. We crested the ridge and you could see the snow falling in the distance. Not too far away maybe in Jefferson, in only a few minutes flakes were falling around us. By the time we returned home it was snowing pretty hard. After many phone calls and e-mails it was clear that my meetings for the day were cancelled. A found day in the office!
We had a few inches of snow on Sunday another dusting last night and are forecast to have another storm tomorrow. Temperatures turned colder and freezing is now a high for the day rather than something it might do overnight. In fact I put the heated water buckets in the kennel yesterday since the buckets had stopped thawing during the day. After a long warm fall winter is here.
I have recently gone to work as the Executive Director of the Maine Professional Guides Association. Don’t worry its part time, I am still guiding all summer and fall. I worked for the MPGA in the 1990’s as their first lobbyist and served as president and secretary of the organization before that. In the interim I have worked for a variety of conservation organizations while guiding at Maine Outdoors and four years at the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
