Yes, that's my road in the first pic. The second pic is the dunes which are right behind the houses. I can walk from my backyard over the top of the dunes and down on to the beach (you can just about see a strip of sand there between the foam and the snow!).

Good news though is that the last couple of days it's warmed up, and almost all the snow has melted now. It's a little breezy, but bright sunshine and not at all unpleasant. At 4:30 p.m. the temperature is up to a balmy 45 degrees!
