It started out as quite the wet winter. Other places were seeing snow but it took everyone south of East Greenwich a long time to find it. We did have some serious fog in early December, and I was heading back over the bridges from Newport when I decided to stop and take a chance for some night photography. It was one of those heavy mists where it's wetter than a usual fog but not quite raining....

Of course it was high tide, which posed a problem, and it was an incoming tide with high surf from a low pressure system swirling somewhere offshore. I walked all the way to...
