Who says there isn’t a rite to spring?  A powerful nor’easter hammers the Bass Islands today and the first return of buzzards is noted as well.  Bob Bahney, of Peach Point, Put-in-Bay, recorded a wind strength of 42mph this morning.  The mid-day temperature hovers at 35°F and, as of 11:40am,  .45″ of rain has hit the turf.
