Minus 14 is aย very rare Westport reading.
Almost as rare is ice in Long Island Sound.
Compo Beach resident Jim Hood captured these powerful — and beautiful — moonscape-like images today.

Beautiful, Jim!
My grandparents talked about a winter you could walk on ice to several of the Norwalk Islands
Ice isnโt all that rare in Long Island Sound, at least not in Saugatuck bay. In fact, when I was younger ( ๐) two boys made the paper for walking on the ice out to Cockenoe (which brought out the police).
Love these!
I also remember some winters of thickly formed ice off Compo (probably when I was a kid in the 1970โs), and always thought it was so cool to see!
Gorgeous pictures. I mentioned this before but my Dad claimed that when he was a teenager old enough to drive the Sound was frozen all the way to Cockenoe and he drove his car across the ice. I have no idea if it was true. My Dad was a great story teller. Most of his “stories” were accurate but he did tend to embellish from time to time. ๐
Nice Jim ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
Beautiful Westport.
I’ve likened this morning to the first day of spring…
The water in our pipes flowed freely for the first time in a long time, the banister felt warm as I walked downstairs and I couldn’t help but thank God for having gotten us through a tough spell, weather-wise.
But then, I remembered, it’s January 8th…no matter. At 19 degrees (above zero!), today is wonderful!
