The first real winter arrived last Thursday night when a rain storm
turned to sleet and later in the wee hours of Friday morning to snow,
covering Mother Earth with a wet blanket by daylight. While the weather
has not been extremely cold, it has been cold enough for that
snow to lay in places where the sun did not shine until Tuesday
afternoon, when the last melted and the ground was muddy where it had
been frozen.
We would like to request the driver of a car with license 127-280 to
be a little more careful in parking his car in Cambridge, and not jolt
the cars that happen to be standing in front of him quite so much. We
appreciate the fact that it is difficult to pull in to the curb when
the space is limited and utmost care is necessary.

Coal ashes make a very good road, but have to be replaced, frequently, but they would be a fine improvement over the muddy shoulders that we have at present.
