Most days this week I walked down the beach twice. The evening pictures are taken from the west end of the beach between 50th and 57th street.
Sunday, March 7th, 2021 – Taken from the beach exit at 50th street. The terminals across the bay are closer from this end of the beach.Sunday, March 7th, 2021 – The Beach 6 washrooms and change station at beach 6 as the sun sets.Sunday, March 7th, 2021 – The partially frozen bay, looking northwest towards the blue mountains.Tuesday, March 9th, 2021 – Taken at beach 2 – the snow on the boardwalk is melting! It’s much easier to walk on wood rather than snow and ice.Tuesday, March 9th, 2021 – Taken at 50th street looking east.Wednesday, March 10th, 2021 – Same spot the next day.Thursday, March 12th, 2021 – We had ferocious north winds on Thursday – Taken from 50th street looking northwest.Saturday, March 13th, 2021 – Today could have been a summer day except for all the pesky shore ice. At the east end of the beach mid day heading towards beach one.
I’m not sure whether March came in like a lamb or a lion. It was certainly cold enough overnight with blowing snow (-12C). It was warming up nicely by Monday. I guess we’ll call it a lion in hopes of an early spring?
Sunday, February 28, 2021 – Looking east on my way to beach one.Monday, March 1st, 2021 – Taken just west of 13th street looking west. These barriers protect properties along Shore Lane from blowing sand. Thursday, March 4th, 2021 – Looking west across the bay – high waves and cold temperatures have made the ice berms in the distance enormous!Thursday, March 4th, 2021 – Kit sailors at the far west end of the beach. I never managed to get a picture up close. They were on sleds criss-crossing the ice.Friday, March 5th, 2021 – This week we could finally walk a decent distance out on the ice.Saturday, March 6th, 2021 – I use this blue Shore Lane Trail sign as my benchmark for how deep the snow is. We’ve lost about a foot of snow on this drift in the past week. The snow used to cover the Shore Lane trail sign to the top.
