What a week or two it has been for the United States. Bitter cold, snow, the terrible death toll from the storm in Buffalo, New York (about 195 miles/ 314 km from me) which is still rising...
I was going to do a 2022 sky retrospective but changed my mind. Instead, some pictures from the last eight days or so.
The same snowstorm that caused so much misery and death in Buffalo just gave us a fraction of the snow.
Sunset on Christmas Eve (taken from indoors at a relative's home), right before we left.
December 26 - what a spooky sky! We were on our way to bring some food to our son, who was sick. (He's better now).
A rural view, also December 26.
Yesterday, on the Vestal Rail Trail. The sun was out, and I was able to get a puddle capture.
Speaking of the day before yesterday, I forgot all about the sunset until the last minute, and missed another good one. Oh, the missed opportunities!
Yesterday, I hoped for another great sunset, but it wasn't to be.
But no matter. It's always fun watching the sky.
I wish all my favorite Skywatchers a Happy New Year and hope that 2023 will be a good year for our world.
Great photos - glad you missed the massive snow storm. When it came down here we got 2 days of cold rain. The first day was stormy with strong winds. I hope you have a great New Year and look forward to visiting you in 2023.
ReplyDelete...life can be about missed opportunities.

ReplyDeleteWhat a neat looking little restaurant. Hope you get a chance to try it.
ReplyDeleteWe do miss a few opportunities, it's true. But it makes the captured ones all the sweeter!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you missed the brunt of that terrible storm and got the beauty instead.
Looking forward to a blessed and happy New Year for all of us!
Cold but beautiful. And a Happy New Year to you as well!!

ReplyDeleteHi Alana - So glad your son has improved ... and also you didn't get a huge dump of snow - it sounds as thought it's being horrendous for many - all the best for the coming year - Hilary
