December was a very snowy month here and January seems to be following the same theme. Without going through each storm of the last couple of weeks there is nearly three feet of snow on the ground this morning. Most of it is soft and fluffy not able to hold up even my widest snowshoes. I snow shoed for a while yesterday and sank down at least a foot even with the snowshoes on but it was great to be out. Only Woody the golden retriever tagged along but even he tired quickly in the deep snow. Interestingly he sank up to his chest even in my tracks.
The weather has given us a break for a few days. We had warm rain and fog a couple of days before Christmas that shrunk the snow back. I had been thinking about shoveling the roof and even chipping away at the ice dams on the eves but after only one night of warmth it was all gone. A lot of effort saved!
Yesterday I attended the Board of Directors meeting of the Maine Tourism Association. The meeting was held at the Harpswell Inn down in Harpswell. The Inn is a beautiful spot looking out over the saltwater with a great Maine feel about it. They served us an outstanding lunch after the meeting that was one of the better meals I have enjoyed in a while.
