All seems still at the New Bedford harbor in the foreground and the Fairhaven shipyard and harbor beyond on a mild winter day on 2/23/19, although the working waterfronts are never completely idle.. Soon enough both harbors will be full of boats and activities. Photo by Glenn C. Silva.
The view from the Zeiterion roof offers great views of the Fairhaven skyline across the Acushnet River. The bright sun has been doing little to warm up temperatures in these parts this week. Temperatures dipped into the teens, with high winds making it feel below zero at times. The region is due to get a few inches of fluffy snow Wednesday night into Thursday. The 3–5 accumulation should not cause too much trouble, but the frigid cold is forecast to stay until the weekend, when it should break 40 degrees. Daylight Savings Time is in just 10 days. We change clocks at 2 a.m. on Sunday, 3/10, marking time’s march towards the warming weather of spring.

Fairhaven High School, aka, the “Castle on the Hill” appears to be in a valley compared to the solar farm on top of the old landfill in the background in Fairhaven, in this picture shot from the roof of the Zeiterion on 2/23/19. Photo by Glenn C. Silva.
