Ocean Shores News: Winter Weather Bring Ice and Snow to the Beaches of Ocean Shores, WA ~ December 2013

OCEAN SHORES NEWS

WINTER WEATHER BRING ICE and SNOW


 
 
December 6-9, 2013 ~ Ocean Shores, WA saw very unusual below freezing temperatures, reaching to lows of the high 10's and low 20's. It got so cold that the Grand Canal and parts of Duck Lake froze. In my ten years here, I have never seen that happen. We received some snow on the 6th and 8th.

If this happens again, here are some tips: keep your vacant home heated to at least 55 degrees, cover your outdoor faucets, and have your faucets run a small drip to help keep the pipes from freezing.

The picture above is taken from the Overlake St Bridge over Duck Lake and yes, that is snow on top of the frozen Duck Lake waters. Take a look above at the Seagull walking on the Grand Canal.
