Thunderstorm Video

I captured a bit of video of last night's (Jul 21) thunderstorm. The Weather Channel predicted the storm would hit about 8:40 pm and they were spot on!

And the thunder rolled ...

Sometimes, I like this sort of a storm. It seems to cleanse the air and freshen everything.

It's Duck Season! It's Wabbit Season!

Another sign of spring in the neighborhood!

Spring is on Its Way

I snapped these outside my window this morning. The little guy wouldn't cooperate and look in my direction ...

Spring Fever Stimulus

We're Off to See the Wizard ...

The wind is howling like an angry monkey! Gusts up to 60 mph. If you go out better put some rocks in your pockets!

After the Storm

A short walk through the neighborhood this morning following last night's snowfall ...

Let It Snow

The snow can be really pretty so long as I don't have to go out and drive in it ...

The view from my kitchen window on the morning of Jan 8, 2009.

Shiny and New for Christmas

Christmas Eve freezing rain

Do Ya Feel Lucky?

If it were just 2 degrees colder we'd be a lot of trouble here!

Better Living Through Chemistry

You may think this is snow on the parking lot, but it isn't. You think that maybe someone got a little carried away with the anti-icing chemicals?

Daily Video #7 - BK Freezy

Waiting at the BK drive thru in freezing rain ...

This is my first video embed from a site I just discovered, MotionBox.

Good Morning Central Pennsylvania

In my tightly budgeted morning routine, I left no time for this frosty surprise ...

Who'll Start the Rain?

I captured this short video this afternoon at the Bellwood Reservoir which is part of the Altoona City Authority water system. For the past 5 years, I have driven past this reservoir several times a week. I have never seen it as low as this. We really need to get some rain into here before it turns into real winter.

Snowy Morning

Wooly Caterpillar

A sure sign that autumn is approaching winter!

St Paddy's Day Snow Storm

On my first teaching job at West View JHS in Pittsburgh, I was told by an older lady, a science teacher, that there is always a significant snowfall within a week or so of St Patrick's Day. That was in 1973. I have taken note ever since. It has always happened, though I was beginning to think it might miss this year. But as these images show, she's right again.

Snowy Going

This was one of the worst trips up to school I ever had to make. I snapped this probably a mile, mile and a half before I reached the junction with 453. It was very slow going, like driving in soft butter. That little Aerio gets along OK, though.

An Icy Blast

The morning of December 13, 2007, saw a blast of wintry precipitation that left everything coated with a frigid layer of ice.

The First Notable Snow of the Season

I woke up this morning to the first notable snow of this season. I was surprised to walk into the kitchen and see this out the window ...

Well, it is November. I guess we were spoiled by the unusually warm October. The forecast does call for warmer than average temperatures next week.

And, it's kind of pretty if you don't have to go out in it.
