the weather this past week: big warm-up and heavy rain, then clear and very cold, then warmer again and light rain, and today we’re back to just below 0 and snow falling... which i love the best.
I thought that I'd take a short minute and explain to those that do not know me, that I am a driver for a storm chasing tour called Weather Adventures. I have been doing this a short time, only two years out of my six years chasing storms.
This image features us parked at a Fed Ex facility in Stillwater Oklahoma while we waited for a tornado to initiate... which did happen! Sirens were blaring, and I was pretty thrilled to show our guests the amazing structure of this twisting cloud.
In the end I feel lucky that this did not cause the damage and loss of life that the other storm of the day (that we decided to pass on) did.
We wound up being close to being the only chasers on this particular storm cell. Pretty typical of how we operate.

Old Lighthouse Island and Mew Island Lighthouse on Mew Island just before the snow started. Part of the Copeland Islands. Just love this sort of weather.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
I was wondering whether or not to continue with my journey in Glen Cannich when I noticed the incoming snow shower, but I carried on and enjoyed a good walk in sunshine with Archie the dog.
At last we reach the rocky and barren summit of Cairn Gorm itself. The weather station located nearby is not quite the full summit, which is actually slightly over to the left, but it does provide shelter from a very cool wind blowing at this altitude. As it's lunchtime, we stop and refuel once more before exploring more of the summit.
Cairn Gorm, the mountain from which the Cairngorm mountain range gets its name, stands at 1245 meters (4085 feet) and is my 4th Munro of the season, my 27th in total. The hike (no bike this time) sees me covering a circuit of just over 7 miles and making an elevation gain of around 762 meters (2500 feet).
This happened a short time ago just before it rained. It was very overcast and everything turned pink. I figured it had something to do with the rain and the setting sun. It was very eerie!
A good walk this afternoon, along the side of Bossington Hill from Allerford to Hurleston Point.
The weather was ever changing, from bright sunshine to heavy rain.
It's been wild and windy weather the last two days and it looks similar today, so I might try and grab a. quick hour with the adders. It's surprising how cold it is some days when they're out. Strange Weather is by Tom Waits.
I came across this during a survey of some old Barns, just thought this was a brilliant characteristic piece of genius, an old docket hatch.... just loved the rust and old bent nails. the barns are to be taken down and rebuilt with a modern touch ... you just cannot replace this sort of character ...
I Have been crazy busy recently with work.... and still am ... apologies to all for my lack of comments and visits recently ....
