brisk at the beach

31* does not do the 'kewl' justice as the NE winds at 15-20 sure added to it.. another Wx notice for tonite-- ice storm in the forecast the 2nd one in the past 3 days.. hopefully this will miss us like the first one did-- stayed offshore and out at sea..

a pretty day.. back at it again

I'm back at it again---nice enuff early morning.. well almost.. 31* at the beach before Sunrise.. turned into a pretty sunny 55* day.. not all that bad

Calabash River reflects colorful sky before Sunrise

Panorama-- a lone photog trying to set up for a sunrise pic-- a bit late

ICW at the Sunset Beach Bridge after Sunrise

NWS-- wrong again

the NWS ( National Weather Service-- part of NOAA) was wrong again as they usually are with their weather forecasts..   this time-- this was GOOD..  NO Ice Storm .. nada.. zilch.. squat.. low temp was at 30* this early morning..  got up to 41* this afternoon and sunny... the storm ran out to sea and stayed offshore along the coast heading northeast  .. pretty close to us with lots of uglee clouds but we got nuttin' out of it..  yippee  :)

'kewl day'

40* for highs  ..looks like I spoke too soon..at least we're already at home..this NWS Wx forecast for tonite-- Ice Storm..

1.5 hrs to go as we head toward the coast & home..NO SNOW..yippee.. heard Long Island might get blasted with more snow than predicted on Saturday.. glad I'm the heck outta that zoo
