Small Stone: January 14, 2013



Frosty sunrise, but the line of thin clouds to the west
indicates that the cold front is moving through.
My street, still in shadow and so quiet on a cold morning.
Peaceful urban moment.

  1. What an interesting cloud pattern. I am a little worried that your front is going to move to me! It was minus 15 this AM and never rose above 4 degrees. Normally, I would be out in it, but now have to hibernate. I always love the city in early morning when the neighborhoods are still quiet. When I'm there, I go out for a run or sometimes (on a Sunday morning) ride my bike around the perimeter. Quiet here, too - all day!

    1. Because we are so near the ocean, I often feel we can "see" the weather more clearly as it moves through. Oh, my. I forgot about minus 15...hope that your hibernation leads to full recovery! And, when you are here for a Sunday morning ride or run, I will meet you for coffee at the end. ;-)

    2. Thought of you, Barb, when I read the article in today's New York Times on the Arctic explorations under the ice: Vostok, the site of the coldest temperature ever recorded on Earth (minus 128.6 Fahrenheit)

    3. Great idea about the coffee, Duff - but, no thanks to -128!

  2. The day seems so well-delineated in those early moments.
