Skywatch! After the storm!


Check out all of the cool sites listed on Skywatch Friday, from around the world!




Aaaaah, clear skies after the storm...
These are views of the San Francisco Peaks on the day after our big storm ended.


Record snow here in Flagstaff, Arizona. 54.2 inches over five days! that's the second highest total, the record is over 80 inches over one week period- I don't even want to think about that.
My Mom use to tell me about the snows they would get in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, how sidewalks became tunnels. I always wondered how that would feel and now I, kind of, have an idea.
I have been snowshoeing down to get my son from school and that has been fun. A lot of people are skiing in the woods so tracks criss-cross the path we take. I haven't noticed a lot of other animal tracks, tho. I wonder how the other animals are doing with this snow.

Skywatch!


I am new to Skywatch so hopefully this will work. I wanted to show what is happening here in Flagstaff, Arizona and what is happening is that we are getting hammered by a snowstorm! The third one this week! It's very pretty outside, but snowy.
By the way Skywatch Friday is a cool site with images from around the world, check it out!
