Clear and Bright, but Cold

Hope you caught the lunar eclipse last night!
Watching the moon slowly turn dark and red and reemerge was good fun.
Here at the Lodge we were frequently outside looking it over.
Thankfully the haze burned off just as the moon was getting into its early stages.

Right now we have less snow cover on account of dissipation, sun, and wind.
It is still quite cold, but that is easily countered with walking briskly.

The brook and Cascades are still running but much more sedate.
The Cascades are pretty much back to ice floe status.

As of 8:15 am conditions are:
21 degrees F and rising;
55% humidity and falling;
30.24 " of mercury and rising;
Bright sun and no clouds.

A nice morning outside appears to be in store.
