Last week Ocracoke had a crazy afternoon storm with clouds producing rain and hail and waterspouts. At the same time there was sun, wind, and wonderful rainbows. It had been a perfectly beautiful sunny day until this very large black cloud moved in. I think it had to do with the warm air from a hurricane that was way out in the Atlantic and a cold front meeting one another over the Island.<br />
<br />

The rainbows made by the rain and sun were out for a long time. This one over the ocean.<br />

The gray clouds left just enough room to see the glow from the sun setting over the sound.<br />

It's been an unusually cold winter on the Island so the weather felt great. I went out to the beach to look for shells and found some treasures. Top: Whelk center: a scotch bonnet the official shell of North Carolina and bottom: a sand dollar. The best time to go shelling on the beaches in Ocracoke is at low tide when the waves are calm. Today really felt like spring will be here soon! I'm ready for spring and more beautiful days at the beach.Ocracoke Islandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13387903479007779072noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415548834891749888.post-14950167179028684082010-02-13T09:56:00.000-08:002010-02-13T10:05:58.828-08:00Ocracoke in the snow<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VvuSIsUm3hY/S3bo7RkCpXI/AAAAAAAAAIc/cfITG5KDXGY/s1600-h/lighthousesnowweb.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VvuSIsUm3hY/S3bo7RkCpXI/AAAAAAAAAIc/cfITG5KDXGY/s400/lighthousesnowweb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437789705120949618" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VvuSIsUm3hY/S3boY_YK0XI/AAAAAAAAAIU/GIm6p7DrFYU/s1600-h/howard+st+web.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VvuSIsUm3hY/S3boY_YK0XI/AAAAAAAAAIU/GIm6p7DrFYU/s400/howard+st+web.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437789116123763058" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:100%;">Here is what Ocracoke looked like in the snow today.

I love fall. It's gotten a bit cooler but it is still perfect weather to spend a day at the beach. The sky this time of year is sometimes just amazing. Here's a photo of the Ocracoke Island water tower from the other night. The summer crowds have gone, there are some terrific vacation deals, this is the perfect time to visit the Island.
