Weather Report
Before the close of the summer, one of our summer resident
subscribers asked us if we would keep informed those who live
0ut of town during the winter, about the weather here on Cape
Cod. We started out bravely to post in each issue a summary of
the past week's weather. Such a long, pleasant, mild spell of
weather prevailed, however, that much of the autumn passed
jke a continuation of the summer, and we should have filled
our coveted space with a mere repetition of the same words,
weather - wise.
Now we have a little something to report. Cape Cod has had
its first snow. No, we are not buried in snow, the light fall
melted away about as soon as it came, but we did have snow.
It came Sunday, November 27.
Outside of that the fall continues mild. We have had a few
periods of fairly cold weather, with the thermometer falling,
however, not much below 20 degrees, several rainy days, much
c/oudiness.
When there is any marked change, you'll find our weather
report again.
