First Winter "Storm"? where?

The weather predictors were all giddy--"Listen up. It's our first early-winter storm of the season! Focus on my winning smile for the close up.  All eyes and ears on me, me, me.  It's the XNews featuring our WEATHERMAN!"

Some storm. LFTC, CRose and TFTC paddled around in flat-ish warmish water from the Shores today with a bitchin gray cloud backdrop and only a dusting of well-placed sprinkles to decorate our swim-cake.  LFTC saw a whale breaching in the distance, through her binocs, before CR and I arrived.  If that's not a good omen, I don't know what is! We paddled down past the white house, dipped and dove in the sea grass , before paddling back.  A lone sea lion escorted us along the way, keeping his distance, much to CR's relief.  And, as we were drying off, we watched the dolphins having a food fest out by the half.

So, next time the weatherman predicts doom and gloom on the horizon, I will once again head down to the  beach because obviously anything he says is exactly the opposite of what's goin down at the Cove.
