Fog and mist. thunder and lightning
Tree back in fog
The temperature crept up above the freezing mark and, in response, the snow pack gave up yet more of its water content. The day was given over to fog and mist: pretty shooting conditions, but ominous ones, too, since the forecast called for the threat of horrendous thunderstorms towards dusk. I had to work indoors all day, so dusk, of course, was when I had a chance to get outdoors. The dire forecast actually turned out to be pretty close to the mark, and as I walked, the skies darkened, then opened up. I was glad I had waterproof gear, and I was even happier that I got home in advance of the first flashes of lightning. Alas, I can't post video of the storm, but I managed to capture it for posterity, if anyone ever cares to see the first T-storm of 2014.
