Frequent inversion layers are why I moved to NH from the Sacramento Valley. Miserable. My lungs hurt just looking at this photo.

The scene is blurred: they knocked on the door: it was a gust of wind, a whiplash of light, an ultraviolet tortoise

The same wind as the previous post, but as heard from inside the house. I hear new creaks and groans as the wind fights to get inside vents and under doors. 66F + sweater feels tropical compared to what's going on outside.

20 mph winds with gusts up to 40 mph throughout last night, continuing all day. The evening's snow has long blown out of the trees and only a thin crust remains on the ground. Stood in the shelter of my doorway to capture the sound of the pine-maple-beech trees dance.
