The Quoddy Tides

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW. The weather outside may have been frightful during the night of December 21-22, but the storm delivered 17 delightful inches of a white Christmas for the Quoddy area, along with winds gusting up to 60 mph. The following morning, Tom Ries lets the snow fly as he clears his walk on Washington St. in Eastport. (Edward French photo)
