Chicken Hill
This house is where the annals of my website were recorded. From the street, we can see the front room, that was the unofficial “study” On the left hand side of the house, is the TV room. The windows leading off to the back of the house, was the sun porch ,or the weather center. The garage was where most of the snow removal equipment(i.e. snow shovels) was located.
Let’s take a photo tour of the house, shall we?
The back
In this picture, is the back yard. Here, is where the snow measurement was done. I used to have a yardstick nailed to the back fence for accurate measurement. It was actually a very accurate measurement system, the margin of error was .2″
The Blizzard of Jan. 2005, however damaged the fence. A new one was built that summer.
Stairs leading to upstairs
These were the stairs used to access the other weather center(tropical weather,winds, and rain).
Weather archive room
This was the unofficial “Study” I kept wx archives in this room. My archives, as well as my father’s were stored in a desk just out of camera view.
MMM food
Dining area.
The heart of the place
This is where the computer was. It isn’t there any more.
Upstairs portion of house
This is where those stairs would take you. This concludes our tour of Chicken Hill
Chicken Hill is important because it is one of the highest points on the island. For example, during the April 15-17, 2007 nor’easter a recorded gust of 85 mph was recorded here, however it was unofficial.
