Chilmark seems anchored, although we have been buffeted by strong winds for what seems like weeks but is really only days of this past week. The crane operators hard at work on the projects in Menemsha Basin continued through most of the blustery days, with extra care applied. As I write on Wednesday, the winds are still blowing with gusts over 30 but now the skies are bluewill it last?
The no-snow claim is still valid for Chilmark. The snows of midweek are gone and we are clear underfoot. A brief trip off-Island this week showed me all the snow I need to see this winter.
Chilmark is enjoying the longer days, especially when they are sunny and even better when they are warm!
There was a lot of activity in Menemsha this week as work began on the rebuilding of the fill dock. There was another crane working on a private job in the harbor. It was a great week to be a sidewalk superintendent.
Chilmark has seen the last of January. Actually she treated us better than many other places in New England. As I write midweek, the ground is clear and very little snow remains. The rains were hard for awhile this week and more welcome than snow. What’s next is anybody’s guess.
