We went to bed Saturday night thankful that we hadn’t gotten the snow that had been predicted, just the frigid cold. But, when we got up Sunday morning, there was about 4” of new snow so it was time to shovel again and the wind chill was 2 degrees.
We went out for coffee and a bagel and then decided to drive around and see if there were any new “snowy” photo ops for my blog. Wow! The snow was fluffy and beautiful and made everything white again!
I loved this photo looking down at Coast Guard Beach and seeing all of the new snow. Look at those huge waves! That wind sure was blowing!
I always love this view as you come over the crest and look down toward the old entrance to Nauset Beach. It’s even pretty in winter with all the snow… but the anticipation you feel in the summer will just have to wait a few more months!
We only stopped at Fort Hill for a few minutes yesterday morning, and it was worth it! Looking out over Nauset Marsh was just spectacular!
There is still quite a bit of snow on the trails, but you can see the grass poking through where the sun has warmed it. I wonder what it will look like tomorrow after this next storm?!
Just for fun, I edited it with a more dramatic look. What do you think?
We went snowshoeing at Wiley Park the other day and there’s still a lot of snow! It was fun to snowshoe on the trails and up and over the bridge. With the forecast for temps in the 20s and for more snow, I think the snow will be there for quite a while.
It’s not often you see the Town Cove in Orleans totally frozen over. It is so smooth, it looks like glass. This is such a pretty view looking out from the Orleans Yacht Club.
First Encounter Beach is always so pretty, even in the winter with the wind blown sand and snow covering the dunes. I loved this photo taken a few days ago, before the second storm.
We were watching all the birds in our yard inhaling the bird seed just as quickly as we put it out in the feeders. They sure are hungry in the snow and cold. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
There was this squirrel scavenging under the feeders looking for anything to eat but not finding much, or it was just too picky and didn’t like our selection.
All of a sudden he started digging a hole in the snow… deeper and deeper and deeper. He must have dug down at least a foot with his head periodically popping up. And then, he came up with an acorn! “I knew I remembered where I hid all of those acorns last fall.”
