Writing from the car as we drive from Visalia, Calif., to Las Vegas, Nev. — which means that yes, we are finally eastward-bound after a month on the road, and headed back home — someday. It seems that this has been the snowiest winter the Island has had, and I hope you fared well through it. It’s also school vacation week, and I am sending all the parents and caregivers all the good wishes, and extra patience with their young ones this week. Due to the weather and the timing, it’s a slow…
The night before I left for Boston to have open-heart surgery, I roasted the best batch of sunflower seeds I had ever roasted. None of them were burnt. All of them were evenly browned. And as I was scooping them into the jar, I had a funny thought: What if I never get to eat these? And they’re the best ones I’ve ever made. It’s really the first thought I had of the actual possibility of my dying. That’s not exactly true. I had forced myself a few times that week to memorize things and…
The final Sunday in February brought a blizzard. This week schools are closed, and many are off-Island. May they return safely with stories of their travels and funny adventures. Our power is out, trees are down, and it is still snowing and blowing and the woodstove is humming and warming a pot of water. It was a relief to wake up knowing I’d gotten up in the night and shoveled snow away from the storm door so we aren’t trapped. The wind has blown drifts of snow halfway up the living room windows.…
Cloud Mountains By Jeffrey Agnoli At certain times of the year when the water is cold and the air warm or the water warm and the air cold massive clouds form over the ocean and appear like mountains so near one might imagine hiking into them and climbing effortlessly into their salty mystic light. Jeffrey Agnoli lives in Edgartown. His daily short poems can be viewed on Instagram @jeffagnoli. Poets with a connection to Martha’s Vineyard are encouraged to submit poems…
Another weekend preparing for a snowstorm. Soup made. Wood in. Wheelbarrows full outside the dining room door. Snow shovels on the porches. Flashlights. Candles. Matches. Books. Water. Mike went off to the fire station for the night, one of a group of firemen assigned to be ready if there is an emergency. I hope that it will be a quiet night. Shirley Howell was buried in the Chilmark cemetery on Saturday morning. Rev. Baker had barely begun the service when someone’s dog leaned on the horn in his…
The finalists’ interviews for the Island’s next Steamship Authority board representative have been delayed following the powerful blizzard that hit the Island. The Dukes County Commissioners announced in a press release that the public interviews, which were scheduled for Feb. 25 at the Martha’s Vineyard Hebrew Center in Vineyard Haven, have been “postponed to allow sufficient time for conditions to normalize.” A new date, time, and possibly another location will be announced “as soon…
The Flying Horses Carousel under nearly two feet of snow. —Doug Allen A travel ban for Dukes County, issued at 6 pm Monday as a result of a historic blizzard that took the Island by force, was lifted by Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey’s office at noon Tuesday. Residents should still use caution and stay home, the governor’s office said, as crews continue to clean up nearly two feet of snow as well as downed trees and power lines. The state of emergency, issued Sunday by the governor’s office,…
Amid a historic blizzard that’s left thousands on the Island without power, Gov. Maura Healey issued a travel ban for Martha’s Vineyard on Monday around 6 pm. This is an extension of the travel bans that were placed on Bristol, Plymouth, and Barnstable counties earlier Monday. Healey also activated an additional 150 National Guard members to help with storm response, bringing the total up to 350 members. On the Island, winds as high as 71 mph and heavy snowfall expected to accumulate up to two…
A blizzard began to slam into the Island overnight with heavy snow — more than 18 inches already recorded in many places — and howling winds up to 70 miles per hour. Snow accumulating on power lines as well as felled trees have left thousands of Islanders waking up today without power. By 10 am today, there were still white-out conditions and snow drifts mounting to levels that could rival the historic Blizzard of 1978. The Northeast has seemingly ground to a halt. The Steamship Authority canceled…
