Awesome Snowpocalyse time-lapse video
Feb. 11th, 2010 09:53 amHere, via a commenter link at Making Light. My parents have also sent me some photos from inside the Beltway, including an impressive sculptural edifice on top on one of their garden trellises-- the narrow snowstacks on the individual crossbeams eventually joined up (I wonder if there are/were Gothic arches underneath?) into a formation vaguely resembling the Sydney Opera House.
Meanwhile, here in the Bay Area, the crabapple trees in our parking lot have resumed their attempts to bloom. They put out a few pink buds last month, but stopped when a week of heavy rain blotted them out-- and also partially uprooted the streetlight in their midst, causing it to lean into them at a 30-degree angle. The adjacent parking space was yellow-taped off for two weeks, which was worrisome since my space is the next one over, but the streetlight's posture has finally been restored-- the work crew may've been waiting for the ground to dry out so they wouldn't be trying to lay a new concrete base (or whatever it's rooted in) into soft mud.
