Went for a short hike to a 3000-ish foot summit- winds of 40-50mph with gusts a little higher made the snow a bit stinging. Fortunately the snow and clouds started to lift on the decent.

La Paloma is nice. I’ve been to a few professional conferences and a Safari Club gathering there, and two or three weddings.Originally Posted by okie john
Working in Tucson this week.
The light here is gorgeous.
Close to sunset.
Did I mention the light?

Everyone is pumped for a white Christmas, and all I can think is how bad this messes up everything I had lined up at work.
Looks good for one day though.

Not a photo, but a screenshot from the Dark Sky app on my cell phone:
We call it The Pineapple Express.
It's going to be a Wet Christmas here in Pugetopolis; there are flood warnings up, and we've already seen some "urban flooding".
Edit to add: The Dark Sky web site is pretty cool, if you're interested in hyper-local weather. Dark Sky Maps

Saw today while running an errand.
I went on a bit of a hike today on the trail system up the street from my house. It's pretty hilly country back there and you get into these systems of small lakes and rivers and little plateaus, it's pretty nice. I did a 12k loop that took me to a place called Heart Lake which turned out to be quite scenic. There was this super fine layer of mist on everything and it made all the surfaces look kind of unreal, like they'd been painted and then a silver wash had been applied over top somehow. The water was unbelievably still. You could look straight down into it and see the bottom at almost any distance.
On the way up you also get some pretty good views over the town.
Ice along the banks of the mouth of the Poquonnock River:
The river is tidal at this point.

This coyote was so close to the house that I might have been able to nail him with a thrown spear.
