Snow is in the air, or at least it feels as such. The temperatures have dropped to the 30s and 40s most days. Gray skies are starting to surround us. Deer season has been off to a good start in Aquinnah with more than two dozen deer weighed in during the first two days at the tribal weigh-in station that is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Natural resources director Bret Stearns noted the deer are healthy looking and within a good weight range.
