Last Snow Of The Year....I Promise !

With the sun out the day before I gathered a few images around my house. Then today as the snow was flying I headed around to capture the last snow of the year.
Happy New Year to All!!!

Wind Damage !

35 mph NW winds, gusts to over 70mph has caused some damage around Cape Ann. Gloucester's O'Maley Middle School had it's roof ripped off around 4:00pm. The attached rink was evacuated as a precaution. Driving around I saw many roof shingles and tree branches scattered about.
