600th Post!!!

This is my 600th post since I started my blog a few years ago-thanks so much for reading. I plan to continue this blog thru the upcoming winter and beyond and will write as often as I can from Plymouth, NH. Another nice day is in store for Tuesday as temps climb into the 60s. Then a powerful storm will come up the coast and give us our first nor'easter of the season. Even though it likely won't be tropical, it will still be powerful as it intensifies and combines with another system coming in from the west. There are still some timing issues to work out-but a major rainstorm is probable.
