Took Coconut to play or really “swim” in the snow.
And acted like a little kid jumping into the huge snow drifts (don’t try this at home).
On top of spending hours clearing out the car and the front of the house.

Took this picture on Shore Road at low tide, the road is full of rocks, lobster traps, sticks and wood. The rocks came right across the street.
Submitted by Martin Del Vecchio. 
Still blowing. Added the skis to get some perspective but it doen’t work. Those waves are really big. Straitsmouth Lighthouse in the middle somewhere. Into the wind was a beotch. Spread my wings to come back and almost blew past my house.
So if you are shoveled out and itching to get out it looks like you have a few options. You can head over to the The Landing at 7 Central in Manchester and hear Chelsea Berry at 9:30, swing by the Rhumb Line and have some food with Fred and the crew or Epsresso is open and serving great hot food. Whatever you decide to do stay safe.
Rhumb Line is open. Fred says “We are open all day and night!!! The kitchen is open as well!!!”

GLOUCESTER CHOCOLATE TOUR UPDATE- Chocolate tour is on for Sunday 12-5. PLEASE come down and share your blizzard stories and eat chocolate! If you can’t find your map, we still have lots! It’s going to be delicious!
We’ll continue to post here on GMG whenever there’s a breaking open vs. closed story. For music, we’ll continually update gimmesound. Don’t be one of those people who misses out on a good time because you checked an hour ago and nothing was scheduled. This weekend’s entertainment info will be in constant flux, so stay connected!
The morning Masses at St. Joachim’s Church in Rockport are cancelled for tomorrow. Earlier, the Archdiocese sent out the following notice:
The Office of Divine Worship urges all Catholics to heed the travel advisories of their cities and towns, and to stay off the roads during the peak hours of the storm and plow operation. The faithful are encouraged to use good judgment when planning to travel to Mass. Hopefully the storm will have passed on Saturday, and roadways will be clear for travel on Sunday. In the event that roadways are not clear for travel on Sunday, the faithful are reminded that the obligation to attend Sunday Mass does not apply when there is grave difficulty in fulfilling this obligation. (See Code of Canon Law, Canon 1248 §2)
Stella wrote her name in the snow in ten seconds. Her new name is “Spot”.
On top of losing power and internet connection, which just came back, I couldn’t get out of my house, so this is the best I could do. View of my walkway with 4′ of snow covering it, snowed in screen porch with the snow piled up against the door. My neighbor, Sarah Hackett, had bare ground showing on part of her yard, and snow up to her windows. And it’s still snowing! My neighbor Jen Nicol came over the cleared my door, so I can get out to try to clear the 6′ of snow that has drifted up behind all our cars at the top of the Union Court. Things you can’t help but love about living in New England.

And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
T. S. (Thomas Stearns) Eliot (1888-1965) From Little Gidding, Section V, The Four Quartets
Though born in St. Louis, Eliot’s family had New England roots reaching back to the Salem witch trials and deep into Harvard yard. He attended Milton Academy and spent summers on Cape Ann (see The Dry Salvages), later studying at Harvard, Oxford, and the Sorbonne. In later life he renounced both Unitarianism and his American citizenship in favor of Anglicanism and the United Kingdom. Eliot is often cited as the greatest modern poet, and The Waste Land as one of the most important poems of the 20th century. In 1948 he was awarded both the Nobel Prize for Literature and the Order of Merit.
