Back-to-back rainstorms this weekend have carried away most of the snow as well as the ice. The tide, augmented by full moon and a storm surge, was as high this morning as I’ve ever seen it.
On Friday night, our power was off for 2 1/2 hours, which is very unusual for us.
High tide that night coincided with high winds. Waves were splashing over the causeway.
The cannon in the photo at right used to point straight out at oncoming ships, but since Friday night it has been pointing downwards, as if to protect us from the wrath of Poseidon.
Reassuring!
