With extreme wind chill and frozen pipes, wind gusts battering shingles at 65mph, and snow drifts not yet over my head-the Island is still faring well.  And as I look across the Sound and listen to northeast weather reports of historic proportion-Climate Change becomes very “in the moment” and undeniable.

 I especially find that monitoring sites here and noting environmental trends starts to become newsworthy in it self.

So for the Island Sentinels that have helped collect data with me these past Summers on Fishers Island (especially at Hay Harbor) I  simply post these strikingly different and contrasting photos. Sharing our Winter’s Local Traditional Knowledge.

Note:

No Knotted wrack covered rocks-just sheer ice.

No Asterias star fish clinging under docks-just icicles.

No wading across to Big Stony without ice cleats

No Lifeguard on Duty….
