13 January 2024
This week featured spectacular solar results and excessive water.
On 11 January I captured this picture of a solar pillar at dawn whereas Dave DiCello bought a fair higher shot from the West Finish Bridge.
Friday’s dawn was spectacular differently.

Tuesday 9 January produced the traditional Gleam at Sundown by which a day of thick cloud cowl ended with a niche on the western horizon and half-hour of solar. Right here’s what the hole seemed like simply after sundown from the roof deck of my constructing.

Twenty minutes earlier I had considered the gleam from under when it lit the tops of bushes and buildings … like this.

In the meantime we’re solely 13 days into January and have already had 2.24 inches of precipitation — 1.06 inches above regular for the month. All that water leads to the rivers so it’s no surprise that the Monongahela River was working excessive at Duck Hole on 11 January.


It was raining after I wakened this morning.
