I shot a bunch of B-roll this morning, for various projects, and because it was so atmospherically mesmerizing. Here’s one more clip from today 🙂

Sherman’s Point, Good Harbor Beach
At 8:15 this morning, an hour and a half before high tide, the parking lot at GHB was already flooded and Nautilus Road washed with rocks. Water was flowing in a torrent beneath the footbridge. I only stood on the bridge for a moment, but got spooked and decided to film from the road.
The past several storms the area is deeply flooded that it appears as though there isn’t much more than a narrow strip of land between the parking lot and the marsh.
More wild wave clips from the February 2nd Nor’easter
Good Harbor wildly beautiful waves
Gloucester’s February 2nd Nor’easter brought rain, high winds, and area flooding. Both Nautilus Road and Atlantic Road were temporarily closed at high tide due to over wash. The waves along the back shore were tremendous!!
Notice in the above photos of Good Harbor Beach the water that surrounds the dune. When the parking lot is flooded and the water comes right up to the base of the dune, you can see how the dune is really just a very narrow slip of land. One super powerful storm could reclaim Good Harbor Beach and turn the entire area into a marsh.
Snapshots from a brief tour around the back shore while out doing errands. With temperatures hovering at 5 degrees, Cape Ann was blanketed with a thick layer of impenetrable ice, snow squalls, and sea smoke.
Happy to see the temperatures are heading towards the forties after Tuesday!
