Winter Solstice Dawn
From Flagstaff Mountain, dawn on Winter Solstice (12/21/2022) looked like this. The tips of the Flatirons are on the right, and the view is down Gregory Canyon to Boulder and the Great Plains beyond.
I was prepared to post this on the solstice, but a bomb cyclone formed and swept over Colorado, taking out the local internet service, which I need to access Flickr.
In Boulder, as the front passed through, the temperature went from 47F to -9F (56 degrees) in 15 hours.
At 1:15 PM, as I write this, the temperature is -3F, so it is possible that today's highest temperature will be below zero. Tonight is predicted to be colder than last night. OK--I will stop whining now.
