The third winter storm doesn’t seem like much on the face of it. We got four or five inches of snow over night followed by a dusting to three inches the next night. But the real thrust of the storm is the polar vortex and the extreme cold. Our cold is moderated a little by the proximity to the ocean, so it is only -1 degree Fahrenheit or -18.6 degrees Celsius. The wind was really howling last night and I didn’t have to shovel the snow because the wind cleared the driveway. The howl was impressive last night. In hindsight, I should have recorded it for your listening enjoyment.
Somehow I have accumulated one hundred and fifty pictures to document nuttin eveh happening in NewMahket. So here you go:
Turkeys
The bay is frozen over and we don’t usually see eagles on the point. This guy was hanging out for awhile.
The stream has melted the snow. There may be an icy crust but there is fresh water for the animals.
The deer have been around. They are hungry and foraging for food.

We are inside staying warm. Meg and I will continue to document nuttin evah happenin.
