Cape Cod is a peninsula which is nearly surrounded by water and in recent years winter storm systems with precipitation have been largely rain and wind events. We hve not had a significant accumulation of snow on the outerCape for about 8 years by my recollection. Winter landscapes are my favorite and thus when last weeks Nor'easter deposited about 6 to 8 inches of snow on the Outer Cape I was very pleased to get out and document some images. I decided to experiment with an infrared format I had read about to take advantage of perhaps a new look at my my home patch. Here are some of the more striking images to my eye.
