Storm Watching on the Winter Coast

The other season

Summer gets the postcards. Winter gets the weather: wind in the trees, surf on rock, rain on the roof. This is the coast doing what it does.

How to do it

A warm cottage, a window, walks between squalls. Storm watching is an activity with a roof.

Respect it

Daylight is short, forecasts matter, the ocean is serious. Plan like the coast is real — because it is.
