Boy did we ever have some crazy weather. The rain fell hard and the wind absolutely howled up here in Andover on Friday the 19th into the wee hours of Saturday morning. We lost the power in our neighborhood 3 different times in 12 hours. Certain areas of town lost it more often and for longer durations.
I was greatly surprised to wake up and find that we hadn’t lost any trees around the house. We slept very poorly awaiting a big crash. Bocephus didn’t care for the sound of the wind whistling about, it made him very nervous, so he spent quite a bit of time pacing around and keeping Bob and I from sleeping. That along with the sound of the wind made for a very restless night.
The 3rd annual Christmas show that was held at the Town Hall was very well attended. It’s such a wonderful time of year with all the festive lights on the common shining brightly across the street. Lone Mountain Campground graciously served hot chocolate and cookies during the intermission at the first show on Saturday. The Grinch even made an appearance at both performances and fortunately for all in attendance he mostly behaved himself.
The Snow Valley Sno-goers snowmobile club is doing a snow dance. They must be doing it well because we are due to have some snow possibly Tuesday into Wednesday (Christmas Eve) so we may have a white Christmas after all.
If you have any news to share please send it my way diananadeau@ymail.com I wish all my readers far and near a very Merry Christmas and a safe, healthy, and Happy New Year!
