As a big Nor'easter hit us, we sent shutterbugs out to the beaches to see what was up with Mother Ocean. |
It was a snowstorm for many, but we got off the highway in Hingham looking for waves. |
...which took us straight to Hull! |
The surf was up in Hull, although we were there about 90 minutes before high tide. It was also pouring, so we shot through the Windows. |
From there, we headed into Scituate. |
You could spend a whole storm in Scituate and maybe someday we will, but we just headed down the Driftway on Sunday. |
Scituate, which isn't that far from Hingham, had much less snow. |
Our next stop was Marshfield. |
The Brant Rock/Ocean Bluff section is great to shoot storms from, because you get the tower in the background... a tower which we managed to obscure. |
Green Harbor is also fun to shoot at, because you can use the curve of the beach to sort of get behind the waves... albeit from a great distance. |
I don't know if they still call it Burke's Beach, but it's a good spot. |
We're in Green Harbor, taking multiple shots of Green Harbor taking multiple shots. |
Heading south to Duxbury for the next video... |
Duxbury is a must-stop for any storm chaser, because it is where you stand the best chance of seeing a seawall collapse. |
This rock wall is a private citizen's work. |
I literally just finished clearing that yard of rocks. |
All storms are a little scary, but this one wasn't so bad. The wind was blowing across the waves, instead of behind them. |
Duxbury suffered mightily last winter, and residents there are bracing for another winter of storms. |
Nor'easter season has a February through April peak. |
Most people there don't even consider yard repairs until late April. |
...lest another one of these storms arrives. |
The full moon means higher tides, which pushes the marsh water over the road. Try to avoid driving through knee-deep salt water, kids. |
Sea ice (technically marsh ice) was pushed across Gurnet Road by the flood tide. |
See you for the next storm! |
