Today was a sunny Christmas Eve. I wonder when the last time that happened was. Still, the sun isn't very strong. This was just before noon and I counted my shadow as being about 38 meters.
Dog.
Barely makes it over the horizon. Also note how lame the sky looks compares to for example in Greece. Barely any color shift at all.
This was pretty cool. So it was really windy yesterday, and so these footsteps pressurized the snow enough so that they wouldn't blow away in the wind, which has made them protrude. I actually think they're deer tracks too. Looks pretty weird with the horizontal sunlight.
Speaking of deer tracks...
Anyone want to sit down and take a fika?
I feel like it's been a while since I've seen so strong colors. Overcast winter days are pretty much black and white. You can even almost see that the pines are green!
I don't know if these roses are wild or not. They almost have a tree-like shape though. Weird.
This apple tree has got its apples left even though this seems to have been the windiest last quarter of a year in a long time.
Few more pics from a cloudy -5C morning in Central Park:
Campus covered in snow:
And here's a strange cloud pattern I saw back on Feb 20th back in Austin (it's not winter 2017-18 but I don't feel like bumping the other winter thread). Anyone know what these are? Temp was 20C:
I was looking at estimated forecasts for my area (upstate SC) and back north in Cincinnati where I use to live. The low temperatures starting in January seem to be lower than average then I have seen recorded the past few years (10-18F). Up north its even worse -5 to single digits for lows and lots of chances for snow.
Just up the line 15 minutes north of me.. About 2-3" winter wonderland
Winds knocking snow off the trees..
