I fear I may have jinxed ourselves. Ever since I commented that we were experiencing a wonderful winter without the snow or biting cold the rest of the country was dealing with, we've had a succession of nasty fronts move through.
It started with a snowfall and had it not been such a gloomy day, would have been picturesque. I was surprised to see it at all as Pete, last year's caretaker, had only encountered the lightest of dustings.
The amount that fell cannot compare with what we dealt with 2 years ago while caretaking at another lodge. These pictures were all taken in Rivers Inlet which is roughly 100 miles south.
The following 2 days of rain quickly dispensed of the heavy snow which was more of a slush now. Saved me from having to shovel the steps and boardwalk. In it's wake clear skies once again appeared but bringing with it more than just a nip in the air. A heavy frost covered the docks, the beach and turned the normally soft ground hard.
Along with the extreme changes in weather we've also had some extreme tides.
Till next week,
Heather & Mike
