Inspired by Frank at Dutch goes the Photo: Mist
Three years ago tomorrow my husband and I closed on the condo we are living in now. A long awaited moment…after years of planning, downsizing and exhausting work.
That morning the air temperature was 2° F – so brutally cold that I was afraid my car wouldn’t start, as it was parked outside. The gusty wind making it worse.
If my car didn’t start, how would I get to the closing?
At the time we were renting a condo across the street from the Atlantic Ocean in Hampton Beach, NH. I was up early enough that morning to catch this view out the window. I stepped out (briefly!) on the tiny deck to capture this shot…
Ocean mist (perhaps a “freezing mist”) like I had never seen before.

Hampton Beach, NH
It never warmed up past 10° or 12° that day…but much to my relief, the car reluctantly started.
Nice photo! Most cars are fuel injected these days and much more likely to start in deep cold due to having the proper fuel/air ratio. Stay warm!

Thank you. It was amazingly cold that day – it was interesting to see the ocean’s reaction to it.
