Newsletter

Yes it is an honor to be recognized by my peers in tourism but the quotes from clients were most enjoyable part. The press release on the event from the Maine Office of Tourism is included in this newsletter. But first a weather report; yes it is snowing here today and we are forecast to get over a foot of new snow. There are blizzard warnings posted until early tomorrow morning. The current temperature is 12 with a northeast wind of around 30 miles per hour.

Winter has settled in after a stretch of very cold days the temperatures are what I would call seasonable. It is in the teens at night and twenties during the day. We have lots of sunshine and bright blue skies to contrast with the snow on the ground. The daylight is around for almost an hour more each day than it was a month ago so even with the cold the days do not feel as dreary. Argy and I both commented on the pleasant afternoon light this weekend.

After several weeks of warm and wet it feels like January. When Argy and I went for our walk this morning it was eight degrees and the temperature at eleven is just eighteen. When it is cold like this it gets uncomfortable to sit at my desk for long periods of time because the floor in the office is so cold. Luckily I can take a laptop in and sit by the woodstove to do my writing. I am sure that this cold snap will put a coat of ice on the lakes and ponds although we are a few days from a solid covering. The best part is some discussion of a snow storm over the weekend.
