Stormy weather

This is a mesmerizing little movie by Dustin Farrell.  He chased storms across the nation last year and shot video at the rate of 1,000 frames per second -- the typical video plays at 30 frames per second.

Chaotic spring weather isn't unusual, but the trend now is for weather to get “stuck." High temperatures, record rain, or a lack of rain - whatever- staying the same for longer than it used to. The reason is a subject of debate among climate scientists, but it could be the result of the shrinking difference between the temperatures of the tropics and the temperatures of the rapidly-warming Arctic.  Global warming.

Rain or shine, we're headed to Twisp tomorrow.  There are only so many summer weekends and this seems like a good time to get in a short visit.  I've been promising Nova a trail ride ever since she turned 7, and we plan to do it at Sun Mountain Lodge.  Very exciting.

Pictures coming soon, have a good weekend.
