The Year a Difference Makes
This isn’t like last year
Or the one before
But still it’s much the same
With frigid nights
Giving way to clear and cold and dry days.
The snows will come
But not when you call them.

10-Day Forecast
Wake to the pre-dawn chill
See the stars and crescent moon
Through the fog of your breath.
The sun will rise
Turning the sky bluebird blue
And warm these lanes
Between patches of worried snow.
Come evening look for high clouds
And a chance of flurries
To leave an angry inch of powder.

Fog Settling In
See the fog settling into the valley
Just after sunset this Solstice Day,
A chilling dampness in the air
After cold and clear and dry all day.

Snowcover Day 15
An inch of snow last night
Helps preserve a meager snowcover.

The Weather Outside on December 17, 2013
Light snowcover lingers
Another week with no replenishment
Supported by evening’s chill
And the shortest of daylight days.
Morning rises brightly
With a promise of mild temperatures
And calm skies.

Snowcover Day 5
Fifth day of snowcover
On the valley floor
A week earlier than last year
When it held on for 100 days.
Little snowfall so far
But plenty cold enough
To preserve this pack.

Rising from vents of snowmakers
On Dollar Mountain

Through the windows at Veloccio

The Weather Outside on December 5, 2013
The weather outside is frigid
Near zero and calm
Like the inside of a freezer.

Weather Report: December 3,2013
Cold and mostly clear
In the wake of first winter storm
That dropped a couple inches of snow
In the mountains
Ice in the valley.
Stiff breezes last night.
Calm today.
