My wife and I are spending the weekend in Ogunquit, Maine. I am in no shape to write anything halfway intelligible, so I’m just going to post a few pictures, which might illustrate the amazing changes of weather, or at least cloud and fog cover throughout the day. Our room has a view of the public beach which is on a small peninsula. We are across the water from the beach. The following pictures, all of essentially the same view, were taken at 1:49, 3:38, 6:41, 7:27, 8:04 and 8:25 PM respectively. Besides giving a small idea of the rapid fluctuations in the weather, they illustrate the tidal extremes in this particular location. The third and fourth pictures were taken 46 minutes apart; the first was taken in thick fog, the latter in bright sunshine. It was like that all day. We ate outside at Perkins Cove, which is very close by. It was sunny when we sat down, and foggy and cloudy when we finished.
My guess is that a few miles inland it was sunny all day. I live close to the water in Connecticut, and we often have weather quite a bit different than folks a little inland, but it rarely changes as rapidly as this.
