The “atmospheric river” that the media had been warning us
about was preceded by high winds last Thursday. I knew that many trees would be
bare by the time all the wind and rain stopped, so I needed to get out there
pronto if I wanted any more leaves to peep. The temperature was mild enough by
afternoon that I could have stood on the sidewalk to sketch this brilliant
street of color, but I stayed in my car against the strong gusts.
Later that afternoon, I took a walk through the ‘hood and counted no less than 13 empty trash cans that had blown over! I wish my FitBit would give me extra credit for walking against the wind – it’s quite a workout!
Trash can down! |
Looks like the trees were really blowing in the wind. I don't think we've ever encountered that weather jargon here. Maybe we call it something different.
ReplyDeleteApparently "atmospheric river" is not just media jargon -- it's a real weather term! Maybe we're just more into the weather terms here when they include rain! ;-)
