Need a Beach Day?
Because I am booking vacation rentals for tenants every day, I have summer on my mind.
It’s so much easier to cope with cold temperatures and snow if you have a plan of escape 😎

Ice Age!
Foggy morning and huge ice boulders along the water’s edge! Â Really a unique sight…

Monday Thaw?
The sun is out and the air temperatures are noticeably warmer 🙂
The beach is still frozen over- check out the “high tide” line of ice! Â And there are giant piles of snow around the island ready to melt away.
P.S.  On a quick lunch break walk, I saw a property owner digging out his driveway with a lacrosse stick!  He drove down to check his house, but didn’t think to bring a shovel.  He was able to access the shed with his kids’ sports equipment.  There was also a tennis racket next to him in the snow, but I guess the lacrosse stick was more effective  😉

Avalon and Stone Harbor update
The roads are better, but certainly not completely clear. The snow drifts at street ends caused many issues today with vehicles unaware of the depth of the snow.
If you are riding down this weekend to check your house, be aware that properties on the north side of streets are more likely to be obstructed with higher drifts (a function of the wind direction).
The snow plows cleared the center of each street – blocking driveways in the process. So you will need your boots 🙂
With the extreme and extended cold temperatures, it’s worthwhile to check on your shore house (unless the house is completely winterized/pipes drained). Thermostats set at 55 or 60 degrees may not be adequate heating to prevent frozen pipes in unoccupied properties.
Every fall and winter I stress the value of a winter watch service. Regular inspections of the interior and exterior of your home provide peace of mind, and tbe inspector can trouble shoot to prevent serious damage.
I’m happy to make recommendations of local service providers.
Stay warm!

Blizzard!
Well, the weather forecast was correct. At least 10 inches of snow and hurricane force winds.
The snow drifts are impressive!
The Boroughs of Avalon and Stone Harbor did their best with plowing, but as of late this afternoon, the roads are still a mess.
I took pictures and will post on Twitter.

Snowy Memories
As I walked through the 50th Street dune path today on my lunch break, I had a flash back to childhood snow days.
Although substantial snow fall was rare, we made the best of it with sandy dune sledding!
Some local families would go sledding along the side of the Parkway ramps, but our little neighborhood gang would bring makeshift plastic sleds to the “hills” of the high dunes.
Realistically, only the first 2 or 3 runs were worthwhile. Â After that, it was sand sledding!
