Gray and cold, gray and cold... will there be no relief? Some more snow might help spice things up! I don't mind snow when it's bitterly cold outside. We did get an entire week of unseasonal 50 degree weather, though, and I found myself heading down to Green Hill (again) to catch some of the winter storm surf that was rolling up the coast. It was incredibly foggy, more-so on this day in...
Just before the new year, some swell arrived. Brought on by a cold storm this time, instead of the warm tropical moisture that had been visiting regularly all November and part of December. It was the weather just before the Polar Vortex decided to sit on most of North America. It wasn't 0° with wind chill around -56° but it was still cold and windy! I was down on the beach at the surf spot known...

Yay, surf! It was the first big surf of 2013 and I'm sure the surfers were happier about it than I was. The 1,000 mile long storm at the end of January stretched from Florida to New England. As warm spring collided with cold winter, tornadoes arrived in Georgia and swell came to RI. It was 6-8' from the southwest with a strong west southwest breeze. Watching the forecast all week it looked like...
