Getting Warmer!

It’s already up to 20 degrees (9am).  With no wind and the warm sun, it actually feels mild outside.

Unless your shore property is completely winterized (all interior water drained, and anti-freeeze added to the toilets, washer, etc.), you should take the time to check your home this weekend.  The temperatures will be well above freezing, so you will know if there are any issues with frozen pipes.

We LIVE here and had a pipe freeze in our 2nd floor master bath (a hand held sprayer).  Thankfully, we were able to turn up the heat, and the pipe defrosted before any damage occurred.

Island Walks

Yesterday, walking around New York City…and this morning, back on the beach.  Grateful for more moderate temperatures today!

It was barely 20 degrees yesterday, yet NYC was hopping.  As we maneuvered around the crowds in Times Square, I was comparing it to my typical winter walk along a deserted beach.   Just slightly different 😉

Update on Island Owls

Based on personal sightings, there are at least 2 Snowy owls on 7 Mile Beach.  One has taken up residence at Stone Harbor Point, and another spotted in the Avalon high dune area, (and flying down along the southend beach).

Yesterday, we saw one at 83rd Street (perched on the fence post by the path).  This one looked smaller than others, so guessing it may be a third owl??

Picture below is blurry- taken yesterday at the Point.  Better pictures on my January 2nd, and January 10th blog posts.

Sun and Snow

Better today- less wind and bright sunshine.  Warming us up to a balmy 18 degrees!

Ocean Views

An incredible mist swirling over the ocean this morning.

Full disclosure: I observed this from inside my warm house…and with binoculars.

ALMOST makes me want to layer up and walk down to the beach. Almost… 😉

P.S. Well,  I had to go out to check heat for a property owner.  Why not share the view!

Before the Snow

Cold and windy on the beach this morning.  The blowing SAND looks like snow…but stings more!

Will post snow pictures on Twitter: http://twitter.com/AnnDelaneyBeach

P.S.  Smart marketing by travel companies – running commercials for warm beach vacations while we are tuned in for the weather forecast 😉
