A woman feeding birds from her frozen porch in Hull, Mass. The town, about 20 miles southeast of Boston, is located on a peninsula between the Atlantic Ocean and Boston Harbor.

Hull is often referred to as Nantasket.

There was once a popular amusement park there.

It's the fire ants that'll get you..I got stung on my feet one time and ended up looking like a prizefighter who had my face pummeled..eyes swelled almost shut. Lots of cotizone required.
I have been through bad ice storms ..no fun..(Dallas area)
I know its been a pain to have frozen pipes break.

Although I've never been there, the stories I've heard about the winters during the Korean War are very evocative of that haunting photo.

Man I miss Paragon Park. They tore it Down to build luxury condo's in the 80's. The condo's never sold and became mostly Section 8 welfare housing I think. I snuck in over the fence and grabbed a small Bermuda Triangle sign from the ride out of a pile of rubble. Still have it.
Hull has never been the same since.

That must be frozen sea spray. They had high winds and big waves during the peak of the storm. I live nearby, but not on the ocean. Tons of snow everywhere but our house certainly doesn't look like a Krispy Kreme!
