I am listening to the wind blow outside and wonder what precipitation is going along with it.

Here we are the end of January. We have had Arctic air, followed by fog and warm weather — and my dog is shedding like crazy. I don’t know, is this a good sign?

Just checked the temperature and it said 29 degrees feels like 13 degrees.

Well I can honestly say I have never felt so cold. It certainly is creating a stir and I know that the ponds have frozen so the kids can skate.

We have had our first snow of the season. There has been mixed reactions. First, it is almost Christmas and it puts you in the holiday mood.

Can you say Brrrrr? Winter has arrived. We have been so spoiled by the weather being warm that the weekend has felt a lot colder than normal.

Here we are in December. The weather is still on and off. Warm while the sun is out then the temperature drops.

I was noticing today that the trees still have a lot of leaves on them.

This is just a reminder about the open house at the Edgartown Library for Debbie MacInnis, who is retiring from the library after 40 years. Please feel free to drop by Friday, Dec. 1 between 1 and 4 p.m.

Winter has arrived. The flip flops are off, the boots are out and the heat and pellet stove are on. It sure did not take long for everything to get into winter mode.
