The sun is out this morning, the birds are singing and it smells so fresh after our rain. The snow is almost gone, just a few patches here and there, and check this out, the temperature has officially hit 50!! That’s the first 50 since October.
WooHoo!!!
Has Spring really sprung in the Midwest?
Maybe, but not for the Sierra Nevada. Winter Storm Warnings are posted for the Sierra Nevada through Saturday. They’re expecting up to 13 inches of snow tonight.
Looks like we’ve quickly changed over from winter to spring here in Wisconsin. The last couple of days have been very foggy out, yesterday and again this morning we had rain with more rain forecast for the next 5 days and our temperatures are forecast to be in the upper 40’s and pushing 50 the next few days. It goes without saying that the snow is melting fast and our yard has reappeared.
Another sign of spring also happened on Monday when two tornadoes touched down in Oklahoma, one of them being an F2 that destroyed 5 homes . Here’s some video of that tornado.
Today could be very rough day for folks living in eastern Oklahoma, southeast Kansas, Arkansas, and southern Missouri as conditions are setting up for the possibility of a big severe thunderstorm and tornado outbreak this afternoon and tonight. Let’s hope that it’s not to bad for those folks. Lynne has a cousin who lives in southern Missouri so our thoughts will be with him and his family today. I’ll be keeping a close eye on the radar in that area today.
Here’s another picture from Pets last Monday. I decided to do this one as a black and white because I thought it gave the image a more mystical look. The black and white also made the bridge stand out more.
This image was made by taking 3 horizontal pictures and stitching them together vertically. This allowed me to shoot the lighthouse at closer range and create a perspective that looks much more natural that what you get with a wide angle lens.
