Thursday November 1

Yesterday was unseasonably warm (remember Hurricane Sandy!) and it was a nice day here at the lake. Today will be partly sunny, with a high near 68 and a low around 50. Southwest wind around 14 mph, with gusts as high as 32 mph. Rain likely, with thunderstorms also possible after 1am.

Happy November dear readers!  November gets me thinking about the holiday season and all that goes along with that.  Did you know that November was the ninth month of the ancient Roman calendar and retained its name (from the Latin novem meaning “nine”) when January and February were added. November occurs in late spring in the Southern Hemisphere and late autumn in the Northern Hemisphere.

Did you know that Maryland ranks as one of the fastest-growing states for distilleries in the country, with 25 distilleries of all sizes and over 100 brands on the market. Garrett County even has its own cooperage (distillers’ barrel maker) in early development.  To celebrate Maryland’s growing presence, November has been declared Maryland Spirits Month.  Check out this interactive map site for more information.
