So today we start what appears to be the onset of the Blizzard of 2013! And on the weekend, so at least that’s good for a lot of people. The fire here in Searsmont last night really was very tragic. You never know when something this bad will be so close to your own home. And now the storm, so let's try to be supportive of the family and be available to help in any way. Thank God, no one was hurt, and hopefully no firemen suffered any injuries.
