Snow removal the old-fashioned way on Main Street

Posted on by Matthew Green

The snow clearing crews have done a fantastic job, and have worked practically around the clock. Still, people on Main Street had to get out last Sunday to make their storefronts accessible. They carved narrow pathways along the sidewalk, which were used by people like me who were out for the Chocolate Tour.

Cancellations at Holy Family Parish

Posted on by Matthew Green

Due to the weather conditions, there will be no 4PM Mass today at St. Ann’s Church in Gloucester.  The “Whole Parish Faith Formation” program that was scheduled for tomorrow morning, also at St. Ann’s, is also cancelled.  Right now, we can’t even get the doors of the rectory or the church open, although we can get from one to the other through a connecting bridge…

St. Joachim’s Church in Rockport is currently without power and covered in snow (like the rest of Rockport), so stay tuned for possible cancellations of the Masses tomorrow and the baptisms tomorrow afternoon.

Fred writes-

This morning I commuted to work on the bus. The newly fallen snow was beautiful. My camera was in the backpack, so I filmed the ride from Folly Cove to Downtown Gloucester, including Lanesville, Annisquam, Bay View, Riverdale, and the City. Enjoy! — at Gloucester, Massachusetts.

The snow storm in Connecticut

Posted on by Matthew Green

I was home for Christmas, which was great. I didn’t make it back to Gloucester before the storm because I got laid up with a stomach sickness (the cause of my not having a post ready yesterday). As a consequence, I go to enjoy a good snowfall at home! We got around 8″ of snow.

The view from my parents’ house in Connecticut is always beautiful, but especially with snow!

Main Street in the snow

Posted on by Matthew Green

The snow we got last Wednesday was just enough to make things look pretty on Main Street:

Alchemy’s already cool sign is made even cooler by the snowflakes and snowy branches around it, which make it look warm and inviting.  I’ve only eaten there once so far, but it was on a cold winter evening, and it really was cozy inside – and the food was great too.

Beautiful Winter Morning

The light dusting and the light this morning was beautiful! Coconut had fun playing in the first snow of the season in Oak Grove Cemetery. So peaceful!

Jenn Cullen Reminds Us of a Time Not So Long ago when It Snowed On April Fools Day

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hey Joey,
Since I forgot to send you this originally, thought it might be a good idea to remember a few short months ago when it snowed on April Fools Day…I sure wouldn’t complain about some of the white powder falling right now!  Though I mainly resented it then….perspective is a wonderful thing, huh?
This was just taken with my BlackBerry, but finally got a decent digital camera, so will be sending you more current pics from your FOB down the Fort.
