Today in Seal Cove, Maine its snowing like crazy. Nice fluffy, cold stuff unlike the heavy wet stuff we got a few days ago. Funny thing is that the weathermen and gals all predicted 0% of percip. for today. Chalk that up to coastal effect I suppose.
Good thing I added that cinderblock to the back of the Fishmobile. That plus the added weight of Christmas packages going out to good little fishermen and women around the country.
Despite the weather trips to the tiny post office here in Seal Cove is almost always eventful. Besides catching up on some local news and weather with post master Donna, the one point four mile trip back from the post office always seems to have some unique driving feature. In the summer its often a tourist stopped dead in the middle of the state highway looking at a map. It is a state highway even if it appears to be a quite country lane with it terrible paving that hasn't been fixed in 27 years.
A few days ago during the last snow storm I had to dodge two snowmobiles screaming down the road. So much for letting the kids out of school early. Today I had old guy backing out of his driveway right into the highway without looking. I saw it coming so I stop dead in the road. He finally looks over and sees me and then pulls back into his driveway. Then I got to see this monster, jacked up, four wheel drive pick up truck (you know almost monster truck type?) do a nice 180 trying to turn on to Cape Road. As they say, four wheel drive does nothing about ice. Ayuh, its just the beginning of the winter season.
