In Maine we missed the Artic Vortex. I had to go to Virginia to experience record setting lows 🙂 It was 5 above zero here night before last, and they put the schools on 2 hour delay. Still, before the Artic Vortex made the news, we Mainers had several nights of below zero weather…-17 drgrees…which corresponded to the astronomical high tide and 12 inches of fresh snowfall. What you see here is the result of sea spray freezing on the blocks of granite that make up the seawall by Strawberry Island and Great Head in Kennebunk Maine. It is not exactly an uncommon sight in Southern Maine, but we can go several winters without the combination of wind and intense cold that make it possible.
