Brutal here. Temp at 3 pm was 5 degrees F, and the wind chill was something like -12. I had some cases to do in Ludington and drove through Stearns Park to look at the beach. The snow kept coming in waves, so that the water was visible and then it wasn't. It was like a magic show, one second there, then just gone.
I put this picture on Facebook when I got home, but I'm sure some of you haven't seen it. I was basically disappointed with it because it's not nearly so dramatic as the real thing, but lots of people are liking it, so I guess it's ok.
The waves seemed to be rolling in higher than the beach.
But the video is the best. Even though it's still a poor substitute for what it was really like, it shows all of what I described, and the motion helps give the real feeling.
I hear they've already closed school for tomorrow.

Though I am sure the 'real' thing was more impressive, the pictures are great!
I just cannot picture me standing in the cold for a full minute to shoot that video. More power to you.
This time of year, I'm not wanting to head to the beach. I like my cozy office.
Well judging from the pictures I would say that the real thing was pretty spectacular. That first shot it just awesome. It looks like a painting to me.
love the picture, looks like a painting, the waves are so lovely to look at and to listen to
hmmmm...and I thought our 28 today was pretty cold! I did not go down and look at the TN river and watch the current though. Love the video of the waves...great for surfing but even a wet suit wouldn't keep that kind of cold out...
vanilla- Somehow it didn't seem to bad. I guess I was focused on the task.
Chuck- It would not have been a good day to walk the pier!
Ann- lots of people are saying that. The blowing snow softened it all
betchai- A bit loud and crashy to be comforting
Loretta- it's warming right up here, we're at a balmy 8
Hi Joan. This post made me shiver. We took Jade to our little local beach inside Poole Harbour yesterday. It wasn't anything like that, though I have seen waves like that at Sandbanks on the open sea side. We've had lots of rain since our snow melted, and most of our usual walking places are now under water.
That makes me want to light a fire... Except I don't have a fireplace. ?Great video.
