Stormy Monday

A couple of photos from Monday as it was blowing, high tides, and rain.  You can see from the Magnolia Pier photo that making the pier 2 feet higher it will protect our beloved pier.  The waves off Kettle Island were very impressive.

Tree work

After the recent October Nor’easter, we lost an over 40 foot Oak Tree that actually split in two and went over to our neighbor’s driveway.  What a mess.  Yesterday Mayer Tree and Magnolia Tree came and did an amazing job cutting and cleaning up trees.  Photos are not so good due to the rain but amazing how careful these tree workers are.

 

Rough waters on Monday, The Magnolia Pier looks great

On Monday about 2 hours before high tide, went by the Magnolia Pier.  You can see how sturdy the pier is built and being 2 feet higher will make a huge difference when we have storms.

Update on The Magnolia Pier

Even though the weather has been great for working on The Magnolia Pier, the progress is moving along.  Yesterday the workers looked so cold but they kept on working.

Off of Shore Road on Wednesday

Here was my question:  Anyone know what this is called, it is a Meteorology term? Happens when it is very cold outside and it looks like a tanker that hovers over the ocean?   Thanks

Catherine Hull was able to answer my questions.   It’s an optical illusion. “The phenomenon is called a Fata Morgana mirage, and involves a complex trick of the light. Caused by a narrow band of light above the horizon, the Fata Morgana gives the impression an object is actually floating above the water. The mirage distorts an object, and can occur on land, sea, polar regions and deserts.”

Amazing surprising sunset on Tuesday

My winter obsession, sunsets.  Even though it was cloudy, rainy and snow showers on Tuesday, about 4:30 looked out the window from the gym and the sky looked like was on fire.  AMAZING…

 

Sunset on Sunday evening

Cold and windy but the sunset over Coolidge Point was beautiful.  The house on the point always looks so interesting.
