First I will note that we were gone through the first half of January, visiting in the Antarctic. That bog has finally been posted at malloysatlarge.blogspot.com.
We apparently missed big snow and cold temperatures. Neighbours below us gave us a great picture of our house in the midst of it.
A kind set of neighbours on our street used their bobcat 3 times to clear our driveway, while generous ones below watered plants and shovelled sidewalks.
The latter half of January featured fog, valley fog, overcast skies, fog, and the occasional day of sunshine.
The explanation for this comes from the levels of sunlight, In the winter, low levels of sun rays do not stir the upper layers of air in mountain valleys. Inversions form and fog predominates down below. We could watch fog come slowly up the valley to eventually envelop us in mist.
A beautiful outcome is that of hoar frost everywhere, sparkling in the occasional sunshine we get.
Back to Omicron, we have continued to do little outside the home, other than go for occasional walks with friends.
This particular set of friends is to be treasured, because Gerry made home-made Montreal style bagels the next day and shared!
Weather has been nondescript, at the best, although we are happy to avoid stronger systems affecting other parts of Canada.
We hope the New Year is treating you well, and hope that brighter weather, less constrictions, and less worries are in sight for 2022!
