Fascination with Weather

Technology and social media create an over load of weather coverage. Â And I’m a willing participant!

My flooding pictures from Tuesday were widely circulated on Twitter and various news sites. Â Even making it to The Daily Mail in London!

In order to balance out the hype, I always follow up with “after” pictures (see my Twitter account for today’s report).

How’s the Beach?

By ann

If you follow me on Twitter, you know I like to walk the beach.

In the off season, I vary my route so that I cover all 7 miles of our beach frontâ€¦one hour at a time. Â This allows me to stay current on the beach conditions in Avalon and Stone Harbor;Â especially important after a storm.

Update: beach access is temporarily restricted for a few blocks in the north end of Avalon due to erosion after recent storms. Â In Stone Harbor, there are sections with moderate beach erosion (especially noticeable at high tide). Â And yet other areas are wider than ever- recipients of that lost sand.

Both communities are committed to maintaining our beautiful beaches. Â Any winter storm damage will be addressed by spring- with safe beach access a priority.
