Yesterday was beautiful

Yesterday afternoon - boilerplate conditions but beautiful sunshine

Yesterday was beautiful.  Today it rained.  But at least it started off as snow.  We even got some snow on the lawn here at Cliffside Road.  It snowed all morning on the mountain, but by the time I climbed up after work it was mostly raining.  Sleet, wind and super slow snow.  Up on the mountain it was blowing hard out of the northwest and creating HUGE snowdrifts.

Later after I got home I took the doggies for another walk out Spruce Cape.  It certainly did not look like it did yesterday evening (see below).  Today it was all grey green waves and white foam.  A dark forboding sky with rain spitting down.  The light did not hang around like it did yesterday, and by the time I got back to the car it was dark - the parking lot empty.  Patrick

Sunset gloaming at Spruce Cape - I got out there just a bit too late to catch the sunset

Pyramid cornice

When the light reflects off of the snow like that it means it's ice

Really wet slushy snow on the mountain today - super slow skiing all the way to the road
