Snow days…

Posted on by

It snowed here on Friday/Saturday.  LOTSA FUN!  It was so cold in my house, I couldn’t figure out where this huge draft was coming from, then it hit me.  The draft hit me too, but I mean it HIT ME. :)   I had put my a/c in a window when it had actually been warm enough for a whole whopping day and I could not sleep because it was so warm.  It is hard for me to put the a/c in the window by myself, holding the windows open while trying to prop the a/c on the sill.  I covered it with a huge blanket.  Wasteful energy, I know, but my energy level, getting older, isn’t so hot either.  I chose the lesser of two evils.  I DID think about it for a couple of minutes, only a couple tho, before resorting to the blanket.  Here are some pics, I had forgotten to bring my camera with me like I usually do, so these were taken with my cell camera on Saturday morning after I got off work.

It has been icky all weekend.  Raining quite a bit, which is good, we need the moisture.  COLD!!!  COLD!! COLD!  It is the end of MAY, people!  I should have known…always happens up here. :)   I think, at this point, it is just something to grumble about.  Heheheh Look how low those clouds are!  When I drive to work I crest upon a hill, the town of Powell spread out before me…you can SEE the clouds hovering over the town when it is like this..something to see!

The San Francisco Bay Area has been buffeted by bad weather lately, and as a rare thunder storm rumbled through, photographer Phil McGrew thought to set up his camera and snapped rare sight: Eight bolts of lightning hitting the Bay Bridge.

The San Francisco currency trader, who took up photography two years ago, set up his camera from his office in San Francisco, and set the lens to a long exposure. He wrote on Flickr, “This shot has been on my list since moving to San Francisco. Unfortunately, I’ve only seen lightning 3 times in the 2 years I’ve lived here. Tonight, I got lightning in 3 seperate 20 second exposures. This is a single exposure.”

The photo shows each of the four towers of the bridge that connects the East Bay with San Francisco lit up with lightning against the murky sky and rain-spattered window.

McGrew told the Daily Mail: “You can count the strikes, the Bay Bridge has four distinct towers and you can see the lightning hitting each tower.”

You sure can.  The shot, which was trending on Twitter, received over a hundred comments on Flickr. Fans called it   “eerily beautiful,” and “stunning.”
