Nearing 150 roof collapses; 10 feet of snow; only one day above normal temps; only 4 detecting days this year and now THIS:

Ice as far as the horizon...pictures taken today February 28th Cape Cod, MA.

That is ocean water...BOY CAN I WALK ON IT! But then I would have to change my username to IceWalker...no thanks that wet salt water below the ice is COLD. If I am not frozen out of the water there is so much sand in / or off the sand dunes all targets are covered. Last 3 hours spent in the water yielded one penny, one sinker and an old 1929 wedding band.

Anyone in warmer waters have room for me? I would have gone to Cancun last week, if it had not been for so many flights cancelled and / or delayed let alone airport parking space.

And the weatherman just said that the Astronomical Spring starts TOMORROW...what about summer?
I give up, back to hibernating, I'll set the alarm for July 4th and hope for the best.

I feel your pain!
 

Hi WaterWalker; I'm with you on this one. I'm in Boston. This is just plain CRAZY. !!! More snow tomorrow. 4 - 6". Could put us over the top for Snowiest Winter "EVER." PEAE:RONB
 

Looks pretty darn Frozen. Good Pics! ....Hope you find lot's of Treasure !!
 

looks really cold...
 

Don't want anything to do with it!! That's just crazy!
 

Ice-Water-With-Some-Sand-Walker,
Here's to an early 4th!
 

And to think I was getting a little home sick:laughing7:
I'll wait a few weeks to visit , when that saltwater thaws!
Ca rained a little today no surf but 60 degrees...... no complaints!
Stay warm will be over ...... soon?!!

SnT
 

Global warming and all.
 

If you want some exercise, take a drive to Nauset (Orleans) Beach. No ice on the wet sand near the water. You need a strong,rugged scoop. Lots of rocks mixed with sand. I bring a shovel and my pin pointer. Slim pickins with my DFX. But better than watching the "boob tube". I've lived in MA for 65 yrs. can't remember any winter like this. Even worse than blizzard of '78. Better days are not to far away. I'll be ridin my Hog in 6 weeks.
 

Cant imagine....Here in San Diego it's rain for the next 6 days... Feel my pain?
 

Forecast is for 81 degrees for the next four days here in central Florida...sorry. :laughing7:
 

We've had our share, BUT, nothing like this. If you consider being in the 30's and 40's? We're now in the 70's. Spring Break is around the corner. :coffee2:
 

I have done Orleans, Florida, the Boston area, Rhode Island, San Diego and many other places and I have to agree with Capser -- with one additional work "It ALL Suuuuuks" this winter.

If it is not the cold and snow it is the sand and heat, red tide, sharks, clam diggers itch, frozen ground...time to head south and take up dirt digging! Ah, but then they have ticks, snakes, poison ivy, rain. And they tell me better days are yet to come. I'll just hibernate and wait.
