Not sure about the coldest MD weekends, but it certainly was a far cry from what we were hoping for—let's hope this isn't a sign of the summer season!

Ah youth........our grandson, 19, thought nothing of going out yesterday and the day before on one of the jet skis! Needless to say, both trips were fairly brief.....

I think Channel 9 said one day set a record for the cold.

Yes, they had me chuckling a bit yesterday. The quote was, "We set the record for the lowest high temp for today."

Is that how they put it? I just barely caught it so I appreciate your telling me!

I believe the accident you are referring to occurred on May 13,1975. Three occupants died.

ApS · 06-02-2021, 04:32 AM

Yes, Gilford. (Not the quiet side of The Big Lake).

The occupants died instantly. (You don't want to know). Meanwhile, things weren't going well for Don Aronow, either.

Wolfeboro had a rare power-outage as well. Thank goodness the woodstove had already been cranking out the BTUs!

ApS and Fly--

Thanks for confirming/correcting my memory. I thought it had happened on Memorial Day weekend, but I guess that's what the fog of almost 50 years and the fact that I was just a kid at the time will do. I just remember that it was a horrific accident and my parents and other people in the area were really upset.

Reminds me of a terrorism news report of thirty years ago:
Female suicide bombers are rare, but increasingly less so!

Is that similar to putting your seat-back forward?

I remember memorial day 2013 as being one of the coldest, and we had a trace of snow in Moultonborough. I believe north of the notches made out quite well with snow.
