Winter is coming

Air temperature 39 F, wind northeast about 7 mph, light rain. Snow forecast in the Great North Woods, up to 5". We may see flakes, but the main worry tonight is wet roads and the infamous black ice when everyone has forgotten winter driving protocols . . . .

(no subject)

The Lewiston shooting does not seem to be a hate crime. No Black, Hispanic, Asian, Jewish, Muslim, or other ethic/religious theme.

The fall migration

Several families that head south for the winter seem to have decamped in the last week or so. For some, this is a tax move as well as climate, as Florida has different rules than Maine does on retirement income. If you spend more than half the year in Florida, you can claim residency . . . .

Weather on my mind

Air temperature 33 F or 35 F, depending on which telemetry station you choose. Weather radar has been showing rain, mix, and snow overhead. Only rain so far here at ground level.

Meanwhile, in Maine
