The Buzzards Bay Biggie Blizzard remix... it's amazing how a song about shooting Tupac actually sounds a bit like a Christmas carol if you have the right visual...

The better pics are from Monument Beach. Tristan and Mikina are way nicer with the camera than ol' Steve is.



Cape Cod met blizzard conditions yesterday.


They weren't joking about that Red Skies In Morning bad weather omen stuff...



Pre-blizzard sunrise


Same vantage point, 12 hours later.


Here's another Vantage Point exercise. This is at the height of the blizzard...


Same vantage point, once darkness settled in and things calmed down some...



A tree, during the height of the storm....


Same tree, from a few yards back once the whiteout lightened...


Shovel all night, go to get some refreshments, and  a dog took my favorite bar stool. Know that the Trowbridge Tavern provided a Hawaiian Pizza to the author at the height of the storm.
