It was a great pleasure to deliver the “Water Words That Work” presentation to the Watershed Action Alliance of SE Massachusetts yesterday. Thanks to you all for being so understanding about the need to reschedule due to the great DC area blizzard.

I’m not sure who took this picture, but it accurately captures my feelings on the subject of snow these days. I’m pleased to report that the Watershed Action Alliance of Southern Massachusetts and I have rescheduled for Tuesday, March 2. The event will be at 1:00 p.m. at the New England Wildlife Center in Weymouth.

Snowmaggedon, that’s what they’re calling the blizzard that hit the DC metro area this weekend, blanketing “World Headquarters” (my house) in about two feet of wet, heavy snow. Sadly, I will now miss my scheduled presentations in Maine and Massachusetts. I’ve never no-showed before, and I’m pretty upset about it.

I extend my heartfelt apologies to my hosts, the Maine Association of Water Utilities and Watershed Action Alliance of Southeastern Massachusetts, and to any of you who were planning to attend.

As you can see from the picture, I had shoveled the driveway, packed my suitcase, and was ready to travel. Alas, the snow on our street is quite literally as high as the suitcase. We have yet to see our first plow, more than 48 hours after the snow stopped. Area airports, subways, busses, and Amtrak are all barely running, if at all. And for good measure, more snow is on the way. Yikes!

We’ll reschedule the Massachusetts presentation for sometime in March. I’m hoping my hosts in Maine will put me on the schedule for next year’s conference. If you are a client — I’m open for business so long as we have electricity.

Thanks for your understanding!

It’s not too late to register for the Choose Clean Water conference which will be held in Washington, DC next week. The topic will be the Chesapeake Bay and how to go about saving it.

I’ll be moderating a panel called “Communicating Conservation: Mobilizing Political Support for Clean and Healthy Waters,” and I’ll be joined by three distinguished experts:

• Dick Brooks, Action Media
• Danielle Brigida, National Wildlife Federation
• Travis Loop, U.S. EPA and Chesapeake Bay Program

As usual, we’ll have some fun participatory activities to get the brain juices flowing. I hope to see you there!
