Wednesday, June 1, 2011 Tornado Watch In New Hampshire, tornados are a rare, but not unprecented occurrence.Today the National Weather Service issued a tornado watch, and at one point a warning, for our state and others in the northeast, as a cold front moved through from the west. While a very damaging tornado was confirmed in Massachusetts to the south, here we had only rain, hail and lightning, along with some wind. Now the storms have departed, leaving fresh, cool and very pleasant air for the evening.

Tuesday, May 31, 2011 Evening Sky and Treetops A last look at the month of May from the south logging road this evening. The mosquitos were biting vigorously, the tree frogs chirped happily, and a Hermit Thrush serenaded me with his flute-like song as the sun set slowly in the west.
