Twas the day before Christmas...

and all through the stores on the OBX the shoppers were out in mass. I've never seen so many last minute shoppers, myself included.
Last night headed over the bridge to the beach, the scene was very wierd, almost surreal. The fog was so thick you could hardly see that there was an end to the bridge. But looking straight up, the nearly full moon was shining brightly overhead. Out over the ocean, you could see the Big Dipper among many other stars. But just to the south over Pea Island the lightning was flashing in a massive cloud bank lighting up the sky ever so often. It was quite an unusual sight.
It looks like no snow for us on Christmas, as it is not quite cold enough. Today it is very windy from the north, and cloudy. The ocean is a tempest. Santa better hold on that sleigh tight tonight and watch for cross winds!
