Another Saturday Rainbow

Posted on by Pat D

From Bill Bartlett yesterday: “I got home 25 minutes ago and looked out the back window and this is what I saw over the Cape Ann Marina resort. God made an absolutely beautiful painting in the sky.” “It did not last long but my timing was perfect. After all of the rain and flooding earlier today, this was something special.” Agreed! Thanks for sharing.

Come Celebrate Gloucester’s SO SALTY Festival at the Sawyer Free Library!

Learn about the power of salt as you join the Sawyer Free Library and The Open Door to make your own ice cream on Saturday, January 20th from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at 21 Main Street in Downtown Gloucester. The event is open to the public to come and enjoy! 

Make scientific observations as you add ingredients and watch the power of salt in action. The best part will be enjoying your own homemade ice cream!

This event is part of the 3rd Annual Gloucester’s So Salty Festival which is free and open to the public.

Celebrate the fish city’s recognizably salty character with local cultural institutions and businesses during the 3rd Annual Gloucester’s So Salty festival led by the Cape Ann Museum in partnership with area cultural institutions and businesses. Inspired by the annual Salem’s So Sweet event, this two-day event will include ice sculptures, live music, salty treats, free kids’ art activities, and much more.

Winter storm flooding photos Long Beach

Posted on by Catherine

photos Jan. 13, 2024, about 4pm–four hours after high tide–when the ocean receded: some views and condition of the Long Beach seawall, front row cottages, and behind the cottages.

Note: The packed and tamped soft surface atop the seawall walkway was stripped away and a narrow gully was carved along its length. The path is entirely clear and walkable (albeit one front cottage deck which was lifted and traveled some) although a bit uneven and raw. The concrete hard stretch fared better. There was 1 debris chunk and two damaged spots on the concrete section. On the beach, the rip rap is entirely exposed (which happens every winter). The popple berm between Long Beach and Cape Hedge is shorter, but still standing. Four hours after high tide the road out back was more dry than not. Every storm is different.

The marshes work wonders during extreme storms

photos January 13, 2024, two hours after high tide: At the back of Good Harbor Beach over to Cape Hedge (roughly Thatcher Road between Stop & Shop, Good Harbor Beach, Long Beach, and Cape Hedge). Streets were impassable for about two hours–flooded by feet of water not inches. Barriers, DPW crews, utility and emergency crews are repairing, clearing, and pushing cars. The last time the floods breached the berm at Cape Hedge was the March 2012 storms. I was away for the prior flooding this week, and have not seen other neighborhoods today.
