Snowing, blowing and chilly. Winter has arrived. On Christmas it began to snow but now it is just downright chilly -7 F (-21C) this morning with light snow and a bit of a breeze. Tonight it is forecast to be -14 F (-25C). Time to throw that extra blanket on the bed.

Winter is here and spring will follow. Long shadows while xc-skiing on the solstice near Tabernash, CO. Get out and enjoy the season before it is gone.

The layers of rolling hillside in Yellowstone National Park take on a special quality unique to the season after the green of summer has gone but before the snow arrives. Yes, the hills are alive. Yellowstone National Park, Sept 2014.
The weather sensing device, i.e. the camera in my iPhone, has just detected the polar vortex descending upon us with all it’s wrath and fury this morning. Does anyone remember when the weather report was just the weather report? iPhone camera and hipstmatic wet plate filter on a chilly Tuesday morning.
