Hi everyone. Happy Friday. We had more snow yesterday (Thursday), and there's more coming tomorrow (Saturday) night into Sunday. Yup, it's still winter, isn't it?
This past Wednesday it wasn't exactly warm (8 degrees F/ -13 degrees C) when I got up, but the sky was blue and the sun was shining. Since I knew we had a nasty storm coming in on Thursday, and since the dogs and I were all a bit restless, we got into the car and headed down to the beach for a walk.
Even though I live 30- 45-ish minutes away from the beach, often there's no snow at the coast. However it's been cold enough that there's snow everywhere local to me right now, even at the beach. Well not right on the beach, but you can see it by my feet and off by the houses in the above photo.
And it was chilly.My car thermometer said it was 19 degrees F (-7 degrees C) when we arrived and when we left. There were only a couple of other people with dogs way down the opposite end of the beach. But the water was calm. The sun was shining.
It was cold enough that some of the stranded surf was even frozen on the sand.
Now if only there wasn't the wind blowing. Actually, I was pretty bundled up in my mid-weight parka with a hat, neck/chin warmer and gloves, but what parts of my face that weren't covered were cold.
Here's my face for Nicole's Friday Face Off. I'm also linking up to Gillena's Friday Lunch Break.
Maddie would have liked more sniffing time, but Pete had had enough. The good thing was we had some exercise and got some fresh air. And maybe even more so, we could enjoy the sunshine. 🌞
With the snow yesterday I had an art day, and I made a tag for Pinky's In The Pink challenge at Tag Tuesday.
Today I'm off on a snowy owl hunt with a friend so hopefully we'll see one. Keep your fingers crossed we have success. 🤞 Have a great weekend.

...cold, but you had the beach to yourself!
You live in the wrong hemisphere, at least from Nov-April :)
I would imagine that the cold was intensified down at the beach with wind coming in off the water. I think that I am pretty hardy, but those conditions would send me scurrying for warmth. The shelter of a woodland would provide protection from the wind. All the best - David
wow So cold at the beach? I guess at the beach it's particularly cold because of the wind..fingers crossed that you will find more than just one snowy owls.
That wind will do it to you every time. I love the frozen surf. That's pretty interesting! Happy weekend.
