Moon comes between Venus and Jupiter at just 4 degrees, meanwhile it’s 3 degrees right here on earth with -11 windchill.

Far in the distance the Orient Point ferry glides homeward and Gov’t bell buoy does its frigid bobbing within Fishers Island Sound.
I hear Snowy owl has been sighted in flight possibly “commuting” to and from Race Point these weeks, enjoying the arctic blast.
Perhaps layer up and and be on the lookout when it “warms-up” this weekend.
