We had a few inches of snow on Sunday another dusting last night and are forecast to have another storm tomorrow. Temperatures turned colder and freezing is now a high for the day rather than something it might do overnight. In fact I put the heated water buckets in the kennel yesterday since the buckets had stopped thawing during the day. After a long warm fall winter is here.
I have recently gone to work as the Executive Director of the Maine Professional Guides Association. Don’t worry its part time, I am still guiding all summer and fall. I worked for the MPGA in the 1990’s as their first lobbyist and served as president and secretary of the organization before that. In the interim I have worked for a variety of conservation organizations while guiding at Maine Outdoors and four years at the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
Early this morning (it was still dark) I was in the kitchen making coffee when my morning newspaper was delivered. We had a hard rain overnight and I thought that it was still raining lightly. I looked out the window and at first thought boy those are big raindrops, then wow the wind is really blowing those raindrops around and then it clicked. Snowing hard, big wet flakes.
