We've watch a dramatic drop in snow depth here today. We've had rain most of the day and temperatures in the high 40's. This afternoon the temperature began to drop rapidly and is now reading 40 degrees. We've also had strong winds. I think the wind went down a bit at sundown, but it's not entirely still yet. It was good to get the snowpack down a bit and also good to have the icy roads soften up.

I mentioned yesterday that our little restaurant in Cabot, Goldie's Gathering, is closing on New Year's Eve. Will Walters found out today that on New Year's Eve they will have specials on the menu that will include duck, tuna and salmon. Prices for the specials range from $12.95 to $16.95. Will also sent a copy of their regular menu.
