Snow boots instead of flip flops for a walk on the beach. Temperatures still in the 20’s, but the sun felt great.
A distinct high tide line on the beach.
Snow on the marsh and some ice on the bay.
Okay…that was fun. I’m ready for spring!
Brilliant sunshine this morning- and at least 8″ of snow on our deck!
104th and Second Avenue in Stone Harbor.
The beach block of 73rd Street in the south end of Avalon- waiting for the snow plow!
Looking forward to my walk on the beach after work…
I had a flashback when I stopped to take pictures of the dunes. As “beach kids”, the dunes were our sledding hills! Isn’t that pathetic?? We could only make so many runs before we hit sand…a gross combination of wet snow and sand all over our clothes. Keep in mind that snow is a rare event at the shore- so [...]
This snow storm is much more than the “light dusting” predicted.
21st Street boardwalk, 25th and Dune Drive, and the 21st Street Circle in Avalon.
Sorry for the tilted pictures. Trying to stay dry while checking out the snow!
This is the view outside my office- just before 12 noon on Saturday.
Looks pretty! And more snow than we expected “for shore”
Another view of Dune Drive in Avalon- looking across to Hoy’s 5 & 10.
Huge snow flakes- and really coming down now.
Avalon and Stone Harbor, NJ: 12 properties were posted as Under Contract (settlement within the next few months); and an additional 18 homes SOLD (final settlement) during this month .
Not bad for a cold January at the shore!
Grateful for the sand dunes blocking the strong west winds as I walked along the beach!
Colder temperatures and maybe some snow?? expected later this week.
For our summer visitors, this is an incredible site: an empty Wawa parking lot!
The locals appreciate the businesses that tough it out through the slow winter months.
For example- the lights are on every night at Nemo’s on 98th and Third Avenue in Stone Harbor. Great pizza and reasonable dinner specials.
P.S. Another year round restaurant was recognized [...]
I have a strong sense of smell. One of my co-workers swears I was a sniffer dog in a past life.
While previewing houses, I find gas leaks, mold, rotted food, etc. Such talent!
My favorite smell? Salt air, of course. There is nothing better. Take a deep breath and immediately feel healthier and more alive.
The east wind carried [...]
