On the George Washington Bridge Project: While Even the Heaviest Clouds Will Eventually Lift, This May Not Be the Answer You Were Seeking
22Dec08
In which The Gay Recluse watches weather fronts.
Yesterday when we woke up, it was freezing rain; but suddenly in the afternoon, the front lifted.
Within minutes, the sky was bright. As we observed this, our thoughts also began to seem less muddled; we could breathe easier. No problem was insurmountable!
Little did we know that the clear skies would usher in a new cold front, which cruelly turned everything to ice.

I really like the weather channel and hope they do a segment on weather and mood with some nice shots from various locales like the beautiful rooftops and bridges in your post.
Here is the local surf forecast for where I live in Eureka: A RAPIDLY DEVELOPING STORM JUST OFF THE COAST WILL BRING GALE
FORCE WINDS OVER THE SOUTHERN WATERS TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. A
VERY LARGE AND LONG PERIOD NW SWELL BETWEEN 25 AND 30 FEET WILL
MOVE FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA INTO THE COASTAL WATERS WED NIGHT
AND THUR.
Wow Jay — that sounds awesome — send pix!
