For all the naysayers to global warming or is it just climate change {I don't see the difference in the end result}Winter setting in for the past number of years with the exception of last year is again about 3 weeks late. we had temperatures into the 60's much of October and early November even reaching 70 on one occassion in late October. The past 10 days has seen an abrupt change to much cooler weather and a little snow which is a little more normal. This morning we have a nice storm blowing through the area with snow beginning about 7:00 and by 9:00 I decide it is just too tempting not to get out and see what is happening. I have always had a love affair with storms and feel some of my best paintings have come from my experiences in them. Torrey Crek is my destination and just off the hiway I am glad I made the decision to go out. Snow is covering everything in a very low visibility and the wind is having its way with all things out here. It is only 30 degrees so not too cold temperature wise which also contributes to the snow sticking onto everything as opposed to blowing off.
How wonderful to be able to explore such beautiful place!!
