White Christmas Eve - a photo on Flickriver

            Incoming snow clouds envelope the southern Flatiron formation and nearly conceal the summit of Bear Peak (8,458 ft; 2,578 m), Boulder County Open Space, Colorado.

The trailhead near the National Center for Atmospheric Research is a little over a mile from our house as the crow flies, and this photo was taken just a little ways upslope from the Center’s main building. In the middle distance a few burned and dead Ponderosa Pines illustrate where a recent wildfire ignited about a year and a half ago. In this context, a modicum of snow feels welcome. 

Given that the temperature is forecast to burrow down to near 13 ˚F (-10.5 ˚C) tonight, it appears we will get to experience a white Christmas. Fortunately, there is plenty of dry firewood on hand, and the larder is stocked with ample provisions. Here’s to family, good food, and friends, and a Merry Christmas as well!
