March Weather
Rod Weinberg collects and compiles weather data from his home weather station on Diamond Ledge Road. The average high temperature for March 2021 was 43.5° and the low 23.0.° This is 2.0° above normal. The warmest day
was 62° on the 23rd and the coldest 2° on the 2nd of the month. Total snowfall was 5.3 in. which is 13.6 in. below normal. There were only two days when accumulating snow was measured. This is very unusual as it is the fewest times that I have experienced this since residing in Sandwich from 1973. (It also is the fewest observed times when I resided in Meredith, NH and Biddeford, Me. from 1968-1972.) Total precipitation was 2.45 in. which is 1.55 in. below normal. The highest wind gust observed was 54 mph on March 2.

Sandwich Town Road Weight Limit Posting

Permits are required if weight limits are expected to exceed the 6-ton limit. Contractors, parcel services, fuel services, solid waste haulers, loggers, sap haulers and other heavy haulers are required to observe the posting.

Masks are Mandatory at the Transfer Station
The Board of Selectmen voted to require the wearing of masks by all who use our Transfer Station. You have most likely seen the large sign at the entrance gate requesting masks are worn. Masks are now mandatory both for your safety and our Attendants. Thank you for your cooperation. The Selectmen's Office

If we couldn't go to the Fair with our bodies in 2020, we could at least go there with our memories, and our hopes for 2021! Please enjoy our latest newsletter, a photo essay on the Sandwich Fair.

Those who visit Sandwich, NH, often find themselves planning to return. Some even return here to live. What makes Sandwich such a prized destination? An invigorating atmosphere, friendly people and quiet streets. Clear waters and scenic views in the White Mountains. Plenty to see and do embedded in the vibrant spirit of an historic New England town. I am grateful to be part of this exceptional community.
