Oct 20 2024 - Rain Ahead

 

Everyone has commented on the beautiful weather.  It has been late summer temperatures and we are rolling into November.  But by the end of the sentence of delight,  people take a breath of despair and "gloom" about the upcoming season of winter.    The weather forecast does not look gloomy at all - it shows rain in the forecast over the next week weeks, rather than snow.  

Is it true that everyone has this gloomy projection?  Or just the people in my age group?  That's who I see the most.  I expect it is the case.  That is what makes for snow birds.  As one ages, the spectre of cold winter snow chases one down to Florida.

For those who want to grimace,  there is a website named snowchance.com - with the headline "Chance of Snow Storms this Winter.  Enter Any Location.  Below that are the standard headlines - Abou , Contact Us, Help and FAQ, and then - oddly - Edmonton.  Of course there is a "chance of snow storms for Edmonton, Alberta covering the 2024-2025 snow season."  

Grimsby is expected to get a snow storm in November.  Of course, we know that.  The lake effects are strong in November and so our great snowstorm a few years ago has given rise to the Snowvember Storm in 2014.
 

I've been processing images of water, particularly ripples and reflections.  I found this one from Victoria Harbour from a visit years ago. What an intensity of colour and wonderful lyrical shapes of the motion blur effects.
