Although, the windy storm did cause some damage, taking down a tree on East Pleasant Street into a utility pole that briefly knocked out power, and a beautiful birch tree in front of St Brigid's Church also came crashing down.

 Tree into wires East Pleasant Street (near intersect with Pine Street)
Birch in front of St. Brigid's fell, fortunately not on anyone

    I do not recognize the body of water shown in South Amherst. Can anyone identify it, and indicate how to walk up to it?

    Epstein's Pond, just to the south of the 1st Atkins roundabout at Bay Road/Rt 116 intersection.

    Is plowing and sanding the roads a lost concept? A car just slid off the road in front of my house. Wasn't this storm predicted? Oh-- it's probably Town Meetings fault the roads are a mess.

    Kind of.

    Any good Mayor knows that the #1 thing to kill a reelection is poor performance clearing snow, so they probably camp out in the DPW Chief's office the night before.
