Here, we see the perfect end to yesterday’s perfect winter day, weatherwise. It was sunny until this orange-skied moment, a few seconds after sundown at about 4:15 p.m.
We’re looking west-northwest from Naskeag Point. The temperature is 30 degrees (F) with no wind. All is silent and I’m alone for as far as I can see. I feel like I’ve been deeded the world for a few minutes.
Contrary to some popular belief, Maine is not Arctic-like in January, although it is cold and does have its frigid moments. According to historic Brooklin records, our average January temperature is 28 degrees. The maximum recorded is 52 degrees and the minimum is minus-8.
