Day 45 - a Year by the Sea

February 14, 2007 by OrientSee.

This is a nice day looking at the Atlantic. Today it isn’t. It’s not a perfect storm but rather a perfect mess. We have experienced every form of precipitation except frozen fish urine. Sleet, hail, rain, snow, snow pellets and everything else. The wind has been flinging this stuff onto the side of the house. I now know what living inside a snare drum is like. Three times I’ve been out to clear the slipway that passes for a sidewalk in front of our house and even with a nap, I am tired. The worst is that we have a brand new snow blower that sits unused. The only mechanical device that works with this kind of snow/rain is the human back. The bright side to all this is that the beach scavenging tomorrow ought to be great.

Ciao!
