Hurricane Sandy brought millions of dollars of sand to East Central Florida. The new tidal pool/trench is where the beach used to end & the ocean began. Sandy brought far more beach than I've ever seen in this area. Not only is the sand bar new, the old beach is ~five foot higher than it used to be. It used to be 9 stairs down to the beach now it's only 4.
and the smallest full moon in North America.. This was the time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze, to ensure supply of warm winter furs. Another interpretation suggests that the name Full Beaver Moon comes from the fact that the beavers are now actively preparing for winter. It is sometimes also referred to as the Frosty Moon.

Updated my skywarn certification lastnight. Found out that Melbourne Airport is building 2 huge hangers..one 600' from the NWS doppler radar tower. Saw the simulation of what it would look like blocked more than 45º swath gone to the ESE with near 90º swath of the 2 lowest rotations gone as well. After 2 years of fighting with the airport MLB NWS is going to have to raise it's tower by 33', so the beam can clear the new building.
Construction of the new 135' tower is suppose to start first week in December. Found this with some details but it leaves out a few like it's expected to take 2 full months. MLB NWS will be using radar from the surrounding airports, NWS Tampa, JAX & MIA.
I was encouraged to come, see & take pics..I'll bring those when I get 'em.
