Snow on the Beach!


Our Block Island snow days never cease to excite me!  Unlike on the mainland where snow quickly turns brown as it becomes infiltrated with car exhaust or stacks up into massive piles in strip mall parking lots, here on the Island we get to enjoy the wonderful site of snow intermingling with sand.  As the beach is such a symbol of the summertime, seeing the snow interact with the landscape is one of the most interesting seasonal sights.  

A few days ago we woke up to what just might be one of our last snowfalls of the season.  While I can't wait until the ocean is warm enough for a comfortable swim, I am glad I have sufficient photos of the somewhat surreal site of our beach town under snow.

So, if you want to come out to enjoy the end of the winter with us, we would be glad to have you!
