Weather-wise for today we have a chance of showers, mainly after 5:00 pm. Mostly sunny during the day, with a high near 55 and a low around 32. The wind will also pick-up in the evening, with a west wind of 11 – 16 miles per hour, and picking-up after midnight to the mid-twenties in wind speed.
I took this photo at 5:45 pm last evening in Swanton, facing north-west through the tree line. Looks a bit eerie and ominous, yet calming all at the same. Please don’t forget to keep sending us your photos of family, friends and locations at the lake. We love to see them and share with all of our readers. Please send them in to info@deepcreektimes.com.

Meow. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources Wildlife and Heritage Service recently partnered with University of Delaware to study bobcat populations in Garrett and Allegany counties. Graduate student Kevin Lamp will present the findings of his research at the New Germany Lake House on Jan. 25th. My cats Lucy and Cashflow are actively awaiting the study report-out to see if any cousins are nearby.
