Wiscasset Airport KIWI - - -

- - - on August 13. U.S. Route #1 is, diagonally, at the bottom. This looks a whole lot different from what I saw today(on the ground). It was my turn to run the Hangar Association's snow blower to clear snow away from about 4 feet in front of the(mainly north) hangar doors. At that point there was about 3" of snow fall and it was snowing. I'm sure there's more now and will require a repeat visit on Wednesday. You guys who are on the north side of your hangar units know the problems. I have "the duty" from Jan. 15 to the 28th. Here's hoping it doesn't snow every day.

In Georgetown it looks like we shall be blessed with a new 6-8". The F-150 4 x 4 surely is the last year's best new toy and gets me up my steep hill with no problem.

EDIT: Before we bought the snow blower the alternative potential was as in photo #3 from an earlier year.

Wow, big change since I landed there in the early 80s. I need to get back there. I flew into AUG last May, but was in and out in a couple of days with one day of heavy rain. I'll be back in New England in May.

After the snow melts.

Another 7-10" due Friday. Best to make sure that blower is working. I wonder what it would cost me to upgrade my 5hp Briggs&Stratton to a 12? Then again, I think I'd like it to take a 3 foot swipe too!

Bill: Be sure to let me know when you'll be touching down; we must get together. Here's #25 from a right-base.

John: I didn't go back to the airport yesterday; must check it again today. The Craftsman snow blower the Hangar Condo Assn. bought has a 30" swipe; don't know the hp but it throws a lot of snow. It has six forward gears and two reverse gears.

Though the sun is now shining, here in Georgetown I have about 12-16' in my driveway and deck.
