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!
