Maybe not so spectacular to many but Pennsylvania has much scenic appeal to this Californian esp during summer

Uploading some photos while I have time. Videos snd more photos soon.

 

Beautiful morning off Hippa Island.

 

 

Fogbow?

 

 

Chopper ride in, flying over south pass.

 

 

Taking off from Sandspit.

 

 

Chopper out on the dock, departure day.

 

 

Driving past what looks to be a recent burn, through one of the passes in WA (forget which one).

 

 

View from deck in West Seattle, morning of my departure back home.

Incredible. In just the last 5 days, we’ve transitioned from green foliage to peak color. I think the warmer weather is speeding up the metabolic/hormonal processes in the leaves, which started after the freeze.

Nothing worse than a big, sweaty group of hormonal leaves.

Tell me about it.

 

The mold actually is driving my sinuses insane.

Had some vicious storms cross thru here last night. The NWS survey concluded it was an EF1 tornado and a downdraft with winds to 100mph.

 

The smell of evergreen saturated the air all day today.

 

[Phil]

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but it’s just so stupid how people continue to plant these large softwood evergreens, only to have them blown over or snapped again and again.

 

There are plenty of hardwood evergreens to choose from, which handle wind much better. But for whatever reason, people love these Firs, Spruces, and Pines. And they always end up paying for it.

[Phil]

Update.

 

Just like that, we’re past peak.

First snowfall of the season today. Roughy 2”. Leaves still on some of the trees but the wind has kept them clear of accumulation so far.

 

Now a sleet/snow mix with the warm nose aloft.

Looks like we had snow on this day in 2015... with a few leaves still left on the trees as well.

 

[Phil]

That’s a great picture.

[MossMan]

No snow for me 3yrs ago but according to FB I had a windstorm that knocked out the power 8 yrs ago today. And on Nov. 17th 2015 I also had a windstorm that knocked out the power for 2 days. That one I remember being a big westerly event. I took this pic at the lake house, only lights across the lake were from people that had generators.

Speaking of which, does anyone else notice how the wind through the trees creates a symphony orchestra of sorts? The evergreens make more of a hissing noise, while the hardwoods produces a dull roar that resonates extremely well.

 

That constant roar in the video is the sound of the wind blowing through the thousands of old hardwoods across the neighborhood at-once, like a natural amplifier. And you can hear the hissing sound from the evergreens when a gust arrives locally.

 

It’s my favorite part of the winter. Maybe even more than snow. It’s a uniquely “winter” sound. You can hear it throughout the house, even in the basement. It’s literally a natural sound soother.

Haven’t seen a last minute overperformer like this in a long time..probably not since the late wobbler in 1999 or 2000 when I was in the first grade.

 

Could add a few inches to this..trying to make a run at a foot. Not quite there yet.

Nice to break the donut hole trend?

Yes, finally! We were snow-holed in 16/17, 17/18, and again last month. At long last maybe the tables are turning. [knocks on wood]
