Venturing out today around 1:00pm, I caught the tail end of the storm. The winds were still blizzarding and great gusts of snow made places like Brace Cove impossible to photograph. The tide was super high at Good Harbor Beach, but not as high as some recent storms. The waves were tremendous, although they weren’t the ginormous rollers of many nor’easters either.
Seagulls and sanderlings were hunkering down in the coves and others, sailing the surf.

Good Morning Gloucester 
Beautiful photos! I wonder how cold was that person in the wetsuit! Must have been exhilarating to be out in the surf.

Beautiful shots and the seagulls are so much like most birds know how to live and operate in these high winds don’t fight it just let it flow with the currents amazing and graceful! That was some strong gust judging waves rolling in spray and pray! 🙂 Dave & Kim 🙂

I always love your posts, Kim. But this one is one of my favorites. I love the words: “blizzarding” , “ginormous”, and “hunkering”! I can feel it! I can see it! Great post! (and the pictures are pretty good too!)
