Skywatch Friday

Update: I woke up this morning to SNOW! Unbelievable for this time of year here!

It was a very strange day today. I woke up to some sunshine, but it was bitter cold. When I left for a morning appointment around 10:00 am, it was 5 Celsius but by the time I arrived home around 11:30, the temperature had dropped to 3 Celsius. For the end of March, this is very unusual - I even wore my leather jacket and gloves!

The clouds started to roll in and I watched as they turned from white fluff ...


to pale grey wisps......


darkening and thickening up.....notice the seagull at the bottom left of center in this photo....

to dark grey even while the sun tried to continue to push through......

to angry-looking monsters. I see a very grim and vicious creature here!

Man, I sure hope it warms up soon! To see more Skywatch Friday photos, see Tom here.

  8. A grim and vicious creature? It reminded me of my Mom's old dog. It was a shitzu and it looked pretty much like that face in the cloud. Man, that was an ugly dog!

    Perhaps you can ask other Vanvouver bloggers to see the picture as well?
    We had a sunny day and later enjoyed lunch at the top of Vancouver Revolving Restaurant overlooking your wonderful City.

  19. Man that was a day to say inside - We seems to always get a very cold spell at the end of March - however, nothing that compares to your weather. I even remember way back to the 80's when it snowed the last weekend in March - that is a rare thing - since I live in the deep south!
