Brant Point Light Through The Snow

When we first arrived on the island everyone was wondering what the weather was going to be like.  The locals that we asked all said that it gets cold and windy, but it doesn’t snow all that often.  Oh really!?  We had a blizzard the first night capped off by an epic snowball fight in the middle of nowhere (we figured out we actually were when we left a a water tower on a field trip).  It seems that since that night it has snowed fairly significantly at least twice a week.  Now, I’m not saying its a bad thing, it definitely adds a different dynamic to the atmosphere over here.  Snow is preferred over rain any day.  The wind, however is something entirely different.  When it blows, it howls, and it cuts to the bone.  Today is the nicest day since we got here.  Some of us went for a walk on the beach which was very relaxing, even though it was to go take some measurements from a dead dolphin.  I think I will go back outside and enjoy it for a little while longer…..
