Greetings from the Delaware River Valley, Joey.  Rob and I were by Pavilion Beach on July 20th, 2012, when we noticed how incredibly still the sea was.  There were three young women who may have been learning how to use the SUP board, but ended up quite comfortably out by the large sail boat.  It simply seemed surreal.  When I saw the posting a couple of days ago with people walking on the ice (maybe in the same area), I remembered my photo and pulled it out of my 40,000.  Linda are

If you should use this, just pick the best photo.  We are fascinated by the sea being frozen.

CrossFit Teams from many of the area gyms came together to compete in weightlifting and rowing events. Competing for the first time in this event and not knowing what to expect, the team placed well landing in the middle of the pack of over about 40 teams.

Joe, this was taken from our back yard (which is the ocean).  Len took this picture during the blizzard and was looking at his pix and discovered the tornado.  We also had thunder and lightening which lit up the entire house.  I thought you may want to see this.
