Getting reports on Twitter they are beautiful.Post them if you got them.
Hehehehehe
Still awesome ..... Thanks for taking time to post for us in lower 48 aka the panhandle of Texas where high today was 45 degrees. Crazy wet cold front that dumped snik on Denver rolled down the high plains on us. No northern lights for us .....
Great photos from you and Fatima. !
Thanks
True.
Your welcome.
Also seen in SF Bay Area and Sacramento
We got a total on 10 inches since Monday night, but most of it melted when it hit the ground. The roads were ‘wet’ sloppy, not ‘slushy’ sloppy. One morning this week, I woke up to 5 inches on the car. Unfortunately, thousands of trees came down because of the heavy snow, causing power outages and traffic snarls from blocked roads. It is slightly above freezing, so we are now getting drizzle.
This being Calgary, the Monday high is expected to be 77 degrees Farenheit! One of the joys of living 50 miles West of the Rockies.
So soon but it must be pretty there.
High was 45? We got 72 in Moose Creek, AK today. Wonderful day for duck hunting. Crappy day for moose hunting.
It has greened up the grass and the mountains do look nice with snow on them, if you can see them. Fall is not very colourful here, unlike the East. There are no maple trees here to change vivid colours.
A funny little anecdote. I just got back from prayer at my Pastor’s house. The family is from Africa and he and his wife are 5 years in Canada, now citizens, both working and have just bought a house. Three kids, whom they hadn’t seen in 10 years, due to wars in Africa, finally arrived in Calgary in April.
I have noted that the family keeps the house at about 75F. Today, all of them were wearing layers and the house was at 75F, I was in only a long sleeve shirt and was too hot! I keep my at 65F in the cool weather to save on natural gas. You can ‘layer’ for the cold! I don’t know what the children will do when it hits -30F. I suspect hibernation over the winter for several!
It was a remote post. You caught it. FReepers are the best!
Oh wow,You need my son-inlaw-he’s a lineman.
Now at 0034 hours there is definite activity visible. Contrast is poor due to bright moonlight, but there are narrow bands oriented east-west that are moving slowly north-south. Sometimes they move north, sometimes south. Their width is changing slowly also.
They are too dim to discern any real color.
I wish I could stay up later. They will probably be at their most prominent at about 0200, but the moon will be high then too.
Nothing in NH but clear and stars.
Yeah, last chance I got to see an aurora was back in 1989.
And I was effectively blind at the time.
:-(
Another time will come Darksheare (((((Hugs)))))
Sigh...well send the pics anyway.
