I ventured out yesterday afternoon, thinking to snag a few photographs to post. But I only stayed out for about fifteen minutes. The wind was blowing, and I had chosen to head for the pond, thinking I would get some ice sculpture images. Contrary to last year at this time, however, the creekbed was dry. No water burbled over the rocks. The only sound I heard was the wind whining in the leafless treetops. It struck me as being a bit dismal. Last year I remember spending hours there, down on my hands and knees with my camera, catching the glinting sun, listening to the water music...shooting photo after photo...each one a joy.
Alas! Not this year. It's dry as a bone. And I find that scary as well as dismal.
Today, the temperature is to reach a high of around 13 degrees. The WFO is warning us to wear gloves and hats outside to avoid hypothermia. Wind chills are to be "as low as ten below zero." Unusual weather to be sure.
One more day of this, it seems, and we'll be back to the 40's. Can't happen soon enough as far as we're concerned out here JOTOLR!

I couldn't agree more! I'm not a happy camper being stuck inside making cookies and candy all day. Heh.
ReplyDeleteGood things coming tomorrow, Debbi! (Weatherwise, at least!)
ReplyDeleteOur drive up here near the house is still to slick to take a vehicle out. So I've spent the time getting my Christmas red and green out and putting away the autumn stuff.
ReplyDeleteI am so ready for some "normal" temperatures. We're expecting a brief respite as well, then back to the deep freeze. Our temperatures this week have averaged more than 25 degrees below normal for this time of year. Enough already.
