Dear WeatherCat faithful,
Apologies for not getting some sort of a photo on the WeatherCat forum. Finally my free time overlapped this a pretty scene:

We are about 2 weeks beyond the mid-point of winter in the northern hemisphere. The good news is that the days are getting noticeably longer. [cloudsun] The bad news is that the start of daylight savings is not that far away! [sleep]
Grin and bear it! >:(
Edouard :)

Dear WeatherCat observers of the season's turning,
Whatever the weather might be in your corner of the world, tomorrow is the March Equinox. In the northern hemisphere that is supposed to usher in spring and in the southern hemisphere autumn. Here is a webpage with the exact moment in your local time zone:

I've been struggling with insomnia so my early rising just isn't happening anymore. Still, I did manage to capture this image shortly after sunrise:

Note the spider web to the left of the anemometer. This isn't the usual winter to spring transition that I would normally expect.
As if that wasn't enough of a "surprise," we are having our air conditioner tuned up on the last day of winter. Enough said!! (https://www.canebas.org/WeatherCat/Forum_support_documents/Custom_emoticons/eek-sign.gif)

Dear Steve and WeatherCatters who are handy with a camera.
Thanks for sharing!! ThU5:-)
It is strange thing to say but I really miss the time to take photos these days.

Dear WeatherCat observers of the seasons turning, . . . .
We are posed on another transition. For most of you, the summer solstice will be happening sometime between this post and the end of the day tomorrow. You'll find the exact time in your time zone on this handy webpage:

The start of summer is a hopeful time and I have photo is that spirit:

Hopefully the weather remains mostly tranquil for the moment. Only time will tell how this summer unfolds.

Thank you for the link to the website. However, I don't think I will stay up to witness the solstice at 02:24 in the morning.
