We are having a huge nor’easter. Sunday was very very rainy, like car wash deluge but at least warm. Last night (Sunday Oct. 29) and this morning (10/30) it’s been very very windy and cold. I’m almost afraid to go out and look, but I will.

The monarchs seemed to have survived the cold and rain! They are roosting in a somewhat sheltered spot in the dunes while the wind roars at gusts of 40 mph with temps at 53 degrees! Some are getting up to try out the conditions and then settle back down in the sun. Hoping tomorrows (10/31) weather is calm and sunny so they can nectar and cross and be on their way. Here is a small video of today.
