Still a bit windy but no where near as windy as the other day . . ..
I had some time to catch a few views along the shore.

Off in the distance you can just see the "Outer Light" where the Connecticut River meets Long Island Sound.

The "Inner Light" at the mouth of the Connecticut River.

The Canadian Geese decide to do some sailing today.

The marsh grass tends to be more brown and not as green as it once was before the flooding tides became more frequent.

I'd chose not to grin for fear that my teeth would crack and fall apart . . ..

Ugh! No thank you. Reminds me too much of my 6 months in the Antarctic. A sunny day was -32°F, not counting wind. Dress really, really warm...and don't sneeze!

Nooo...NADman, that's crazy cold!! Have you ever considered moving? My God that temp is Not meant for mankind! I whine when it's 30 degrees and gusty. Be kind to yourself. You must have a lot of experience with those temps but from where I sit, I can't help but say, Stay as Warm as Possible.
If only our bodies could talk.....I bet we'd listen (ok, I'd hope we would). Take care

Have you ever considered moving?
As a matter of fact, after more than 35 years of living in British Columbia (warmest place in Canada) we moved back to our origins, in the central prairies.
Several reasons: Winters are severely gloomy in BC-may not see the sun for weeks-months. (SAD)
We now live with almost the most sunshine hrs pr. year.
It's 'waaaay' cheaper to live here in so many ways. (retired)
Lots of our old family and friends live here.
Best fishing ever, etc, many more reasons.
The only place we have ever considered moving to would be New Zealand, but, sadly I think we are getting a little 'long in the tooth' for that.
Economically, politically,environmentally and familially, the answer is no, no better place to be.
We went for a one mile? walk today in the sunshine with no wind and it was great.
Please don't feel sorry or sad for us, we're good.
