It looks like we’ll get about a foot of snow, driven by high winds overnight and tomorrow.   It will be exciting to try to capture some of the sights with the camera.

Boxing Day arrived with a misty sky as the moon set in the west.  Here is a photo of the setting moon through two dead elms beside my driveway:

Yes, I focused on the moon.  I should’ve focused on the branches, as the moon was obstructed by the mist anyway!    I did rectify the situation a minute later, but by then the cloud had obstructed the moon!  Gotta pay attention when doing this sort of thing!

We went for a short drive up the highway to capture the rising sun on a frosty day:

I’ve got flashlights ready and the generator checked in case we need them tonight.  December is going out with a bit of a bang!
