Gray Calm

Clouds were over town by the time I went to bed yesterday evening, and I woke this morning hearing cars driving in wet conditions. Temperatures warmed, and whatever snow might have started last night had long since turned to rain.


Winds continued calm, and snow level during the day appeared to be around 1500 ft (based on snow-covered trees on the mountains).

There was some brightness closer to midday, but by the time I was able to get out, clouds had thickened and the day dimmed.

Not much time outside for me, but I did take a drive and made a stop at Starrigavan.

An interesting feeling of peace and calm held, at least briefly. The lack of wind, and light mist precipitating from low hanging clouds contributed to the feeling. Passing cars broke through that a bit.

Ravens flew between perches while calling, and a lone junco picked at the plowed and snow-free street in front of my parked car as I returned after taking a photos of the estuary and bay.
