No rain today, but a constant moving of high clouds across the area because of the storms in the Pacific.  A little cool for here (57 degrees ... my God that's freezing), so people are bundled up and running about as if in the throes of winter.  Having spent the past 5 years in Rockport and Gloucester, Massachusetts, I can't help but be amused. 

Winter has become to me, a Nor'easter, blowing in hard off the North Atlantic.  I would stay indoors for the most part, except for a few careless moments trying to capture the event on film.  The day following a winter Nor'Easter was always interesting.  Coming out of the house, the side where the entrance stood would have snow, iced over and drifted up some.  The side of the house facing the brunt of the storm would be a solid sheet of ice.  Surreal to a guy who spent the majority of his years in Los Angeles.

And now, to hear people talk about how 'cold' it is here at 57 degrees ... well, what can I say except .. "SURF'S UP!"
