Last night brought something we don’t see all that often in Newport: snow.  I don’t mean freezing rain or a brief dusting of wet fluff, either.  The street outside received a solid, inch-thick sheet of the stuff, which remained pristine for a considerable length of time.

Late last night, we could hear snowball fights echoing through the frigid air.  A neighborhood dog, donning a striped sweater, followed her family into the orange glow of the streetlights to play.

At around 1:30 a.m., my wife and I managed to get a few photos of a snowy Nye Beach.  I’ve attached the clearest of these below.
