Snowy shore, redux

The snowstorm did not, as teased, leave the shore with more snow than inland. Just a couple of inches fell in beach towns. I went out to the beach this morning and assumed I'd see pretty much the same snow covered landscape as last week, when a few inches fell and covered the beach. But the thing about the beach and the ocean, is they always surprise you. And a look at the beach in Ventnor this morning makes it clear that the snow stopped falling just about the same time as high tide: 1:46 a.m. This morning, just before low tide, you could see clearly how the ocean was covering up most of the beach during the snowfall. So rather than snow covered beaches, it was a band of snow and then a band of sand. A unique landscape of snow and sand and a rising sun greeted the runner in this photo.

Funny video from the industrious folks at the Cape May County Herald, via Jen Miller's downtheshorewithJen blog. What can we say, there's a lot of down time around here this time of year. Nice job, guys. Stay with it until the end.

The Downashore Team is a group of Philly.com producers. Some of us grew up vacationing at the Jersey Shore, and others came to appreciate it later. Either way, we know our Mack and Manco's from our Prep's Pizza, and we'll do our best to share news, information and musings from up and down the coast. Please do post a comment with your Shore thoughts, or shoot us an e-mail by clicking on the link above. (OK, so we're not really at the beach in this photo, but armed with the power of a good photo editing program, we can dream, right?) We're joined by Inquirer staff writer Amy Rosenberg, who as a year-round Shore resident, knows a thing or two about the scene, and the Shoobies.
