Is the forecast really Right? FROST on the way!!!
As part of my routine on Monday, I try to watch the WMUR Channel 9 Weather to see what the weather might be for the week. This morning, much to my surprise I thought I heard the word "FROST". So I had to wait another 30 minutes to wait for the forecast to come on again and yes they said "FROST".
Being the diligent person that I am I also checked a few online resources and it appears that this week will have some very confusing weather. While I am typing this, we are having some rain showers because the air is very tropical. By the end of the week we could be pulling on our sweatshirts at night because the air is so cold. So if your reading this and will be arriving later this week, be prepared for some Fall like weather.
As we say here in New England, if you don't like the weather, wait a few minutes.

Sunset over the Pemigewasset Valley
On a recent Friday night I took a spin out on the Kancamagus Highway to see the Sunset. I was not disappointed and either were the other 25-30 people who were there. I often get to observe the setting sun but this was one of the first times that I had specifically gone to see how it looked. The pictures are taken within a few minutes of each other. If you looking for a good place to see the sun set stop by and I will send you to some scenic places. Of course we always need Mother Nature to cooperate with us.
