Nov18 Day 6: Snow, Sand, it's all the same, right?

We were supposed to get our first snow last night-- in fact, it was supposed to start snowing at 3 am and still be snowing right this minute. So I didn't schedule a post overnight because I was going to brave the cold early this morning to take a picture of a cool, calm landscape for you (in direct contrast to the hot mess going on in the U.S. today). But when I woke up this morning there was not a snowflake to be seen, so you get beach photos instead. Stay calm out there. If you're on a slow connection, the rest of this post is all pictures.
