York Harbor Sea Temperature
(Today) 22nd Dec 2020
6.6°C / 43.8°F

Yeah, I was going to say that the gulf low of 62F was still higher than New Hampshire's coast (What little there is) in the peak of summer.

Hampton Beach this past February...

I will be in York next Mon/Tues/Wed to try to get the moon rising over nubble light. You have to be on Long Sands Beach almost at Libby's with a long lens (600 or so) to get the angle right. (and dressed like you are in the picture)

600 sounds about right. Unfortunately, I've never been there for sunrise nor moonrise. Good luck getting the picture!

[C=64]

4°C = 39.2°F
34.5°F ≈ 1.5°C

Either way, that's wicked cold.

I am happily onshore. It came to me during my run this morning!!!!! This was a nice holiday gift. Happy Holidays to everyone.

Great to see you on Tuesday.

Our once in a lifetime (until next week) Thursday report

We have one on the beach for now and 86 on the shore. The crew on the Love Boat and at the Tiki Bar than all the muggles for their good conversation and tips.

Was I the only one that didn't know the contest was coming out early this week? In any event, I'm happy to be on shore with all the rest. My holiday will be (almost) entirely virtual this year. All of your company is most welcome! Good cheer to you all.

Ashore enjoying the sun and wrapping presents.

[Billy M]

On shore, fun one. An all day IPA over here. Now on to wrapping presents the day before

[Dplass]

Ashore, after a few nudges.

I have thoughts and feelings about this puzzle which I will certainly forget to mention come Monday. Until then, Merry Christmas and Happy Kwanzaa.

On shore.

Quick one for me. Time for some Nog.

Happy Holidays all.

[mel87]

On shore! Fun one this week.

Oops. Yes. I meant the latter. Was looking at two different days.

Took a while, then inspiration struck! A nice aha moment for Christmas.Now for a dry sherry...

[oldjudge]

Just a quick note--for those who do the MGWCC, the puzzle will come out tomorrow on Christmas Day. A gift from Matt to all of us. May all your Christmases be white and may all your answers be right.

[Janet]

A nice "present"! I am ashore with the rest, getting ready to celebrate. It's the first Christmas with my new (to me) cat!

[Scraps]

On shore.
Hoppy Hollandaise to you all.

It appears that the Dr Tom puns are as contagious as the virus

And there is no vaccine in the pipeline.

I missed the puns! Have you seen the weather forecast? "Rain, dear."

[ChrisKochmanski]

On shore!

So this one published yesterday (Wednesday)? I just got to it now (Thursday between 2 and 3 pm). If any of you have been bopping around elsewhere in the world of metas today, you're going to find quite a coincidence. Nothing untoward, I'm sure. And as I think about it, it may even be a predictable coincidence. If you're interested enough, see if you can find it. (Ah, a meta of sorts within the meta comments!)

Best holidays to all!

forecast for St. Louis MO tonight:

10 F which is about -12 C.

Damn, that's cold for here. What's the freezing temp for alcohol? I might need to put some "de-icer" in my circulatory system.
