cats and cold

[solarbird]

It's pretty cold outside; we may finally get some frost tonight. It's close to 1.5C behind the house, and falling pretty quickly, and there's not a cloud in sight. That's definitive cooling weather, and we're already close to our projected low; how much further down the temperature goes will depend upon whether the predicted fog rolls in.

The experimental Isis system at UW, meanwhile, has been updated with cooler temperatures (NOAA doesn't share them, yet) and claims just over a 50% shot of freezing overnight.

We saw some amazing views of distant mountains, today; where there weren't clouds blocking the line of sight, the air clarity let us see distant mountains we usually just can't see at all, peaking out from behind other mountains and very large hills closer in. So far, there's a lot of snow building up out there - hopefully that'll keep going over the winter. Maybe I can go skiing again. ^_^

Here, have some pictures. This is the Evil Other Cat, caught right before he fled:


Evil!

Here is the Evil Other Cat Not Being Nearly As Stealthy As It Thinks It Is:


Not Stealthy

I have no real point here; I just like the Evil Other Cat. ^_^ Polly hates this other cat with a passion reserved only for, um... other cats. Being me, I think this is funny.

I also like today's flower, taken near the previous flower, by a fence down between here and the closest bus stop:
