THE DAY AFTER WINTER SOLSTICE

        So yesterday was all about data. Dates and times described the solstice.

        However, today was a very nice day here. It was partly cloudy and plus 7 C most of the day.

       It was  chinooking. So we are getting a wind from the west and warm air. 

      As I've described before there is a chinook arch. The arch stretches across most of the western horizon. So I have a photo from just before 9:00 AM and one around 4 PM. Don't look at my times. I have to reset the camera.

  3. A mid-winter chinook must be so pleasant -- a nice little break. Or am I wrong?

    1. You are exactly right that it is a break. The cattle appreciated the break.

  19. I missed wishing you a Merry Christmas since I was dealing with so much termite and other craziness at our house. But I can wish you an early Happy New Year!

    I first heard about the Chinook when we were at Yellowstone and there was a singer who sang a song about it. I'd never heard of it before then.
