Sunrise Rainbow

A disturbance lifting from the southwest this past Saturday the 10th caught the early light resulting in a truly unique experience.

Sleet and Texture

Early this past Saturday we had a line of showers and storms lift through along a warm front that would have been insignificant were it not for the extremely cold temperatures and sleet mixing in with the rain. Closer to daybreak, a lull would occur after which another round developed along the cold front. A nearby weaker cell caught my attention for having slight structure and even popping off a few CG's. What came later though was a truly amazing sight in that the sky was covered with a textured layer that may have been undulatus asperatus.

Behind the "squall line"








Later I would head over to Rock Springs to assist in hanging a November/December show for a local art group. While there, I took the opportunity to harass some of the exhibits.






A weak high pressure would settle in behind the complex resulting in Sunday morning lows around freezing. These are more attempts at reverse ring macro.

Halloween Vandalism / November Sunrise

Life hasn't exactly been the easiest lately but I have been working my tail off in the hope of keeping things caught up. That being said, we were dealt a significant blow at probably the worst possible time when some pranksters decided to chuck a massive pumpkin through the windshield of our only working vehicle on Halloween. The incident occurred around 11:30 PM CDT and it remains unknown who the culprit is despite police involvement. Since the damage falls below my deductible, it is an expense I must unfortunately eat. To the persons who did this as there were numerous pumpkins smashed within the vicinity, thank you for severely compromising the ability to provide for my family at this time.







Per the second part of this entry, while heading home from work in a loaner vehicle the following morning, I paused to shoot the sunrise. Try as I do to remain positive and focused, it seems like every day is one step forward, two steps back anymore.
