Birds are tinier than the seaweed gusting past.

sanderlings might be easier to spot in this one

Gloucester DPW has been by at least twice since 5am. The wind is swirling in all directions so the accumulation is blasted from surfaces.

May be an image of road, snow and text that says 'CROWD DON'T THE PLOW! Allow six car lengths behind an operating snow plow Never travel next to a plow truck, and never try to pass several trucks plowing side by side in a "plow train." Safely move as far away from the centerline as possible when approaching a snow plow head on. Stay alert! Slow-moving snow plows can be obscured by blowing snow.'
May be an image of snow and text
May be an image of text that says 'With the snow and astronomical tides anticipated this weekend, storm drains that are not cleared can lead to streets flooding. Our crews will be working but residents can help by clearing out storm drains near their homes so melting snow and rain can make it into our storm water system instead of staying on streets. Even just a shovel-width of space allows the drains to function and prevent street flooding'

Shipwreck story

Hi Joey,

This story was told to my mother, Dorothy Amerige Morgan James, by her grandfather, Albert Morgan of Brier Neck.  I remember the story of the ship coming aground on Good Harbor Beach, although the family first settled in Lanesville.  The story was published in 1962.

Home Coming

Seeing these fishing boats out on any winter day always tugs at my heartstrings a little bit. While it looks like a bright, sunny day….the temperature in my car was 5 degrees when I snapped this photo. Bless all who work hard in conditions like that.
