❄Yesterday, December 1, was the start of meteorological winter. ❄

 

An interesting swirl in this line of clouds -- half-way between Hawaii and Oregon.

Well, let’s hope winter is better than fall. Since September 1st, we’ve had only half an inch of precipitation in Flagstaff, the driest fall on record.

Are the clouds from Alaska moving clockwise and brushing the apparent atmospheric river stream headed northeast causing that swirl?
If so, what is likely to happen? We commonly get our first winter windstorm in the first half of December. Predictions I have heard on PDX TV weather reports are talking about dry but cold days in the next week. Perhaps, preparing for high winds & loss of power would be prudent?

So on the second day of winter we tromped through a few inches of snow - should be much more - and harvested a red fir for the holidays tree. Has lights on it now.

This forecast for the upcoming week in Bend has typical winter temperatures, even if there's no typical winter precipitation.

 

But I'm a fan of cold and sunny -- and that's typical for Bend in winter, too.

And it's good winter camping weather!

Believe it or not, we are even going to see a couple of days with the yellow ball visible.

Some snow today-then clear and cold-teens at night, cold during the in sunny in the high deserts of NE Ca and NW Nevada. I'm already for summer !

Looks like you can take care of the neighborhood -- maybe the whole town -- with that rig.

Looks to me like Mr BC is correct!
