Festive Light Tunnel

32 Comments

The City of Penticton always puts on a light show during December, and this year added a tunnel.

The tunnel proved to be very popular, especially with children, and so it was decided that it should stay until the end of January.

Given how grey, rainy and overcast it has been – and as of today including a little snow – I agree with the city’s decision. These pretty lights are definitely a little mood booster.

Apparently we will be getting our rain back tomorrow but according to the weather gods, we are supposed to get SUN on Wednesday. Fingers crossed.

Happy Tuesday.

Cloudscapes

24 Comments

I enjoyed watching these cloud layers unfold themselves.

Capricious and swirling, they were never the same from one moment to the next, a sometimes very human characteristic.

Given the frequency with which we describe weather as moody, angry or brilliant, we should perhaps change how our weather forecasts are expressed: “wear your coat, it’s angry today” or “bring along the sunscreen; it’s brilliant today.”

Might be a problem for Environment Canada, though.

Happy Sunday.

Roof Glacier

18 Comments

There’s a lot of snow on our roof, and it’s beginning to get soft, melty and slidey.

Right now it’s up there solidly, but it either will come down with a thunk or will simply melt away.

I predict that this particular roof glacier will fall rather than melt, but we’ll see. The snowy awning over the door has been trimmed back, eliminating any danger of a sudden snow dump while exiting the house, so it’s fun to watch the progression of the rest of it.

Happy Tuesday.
