A great week for sunsets
2010-02-16 18:03:35.000 – Brian Clark, Observer and Meteorologist
Awesome colors at sunset yesterday
It’s snowing! I’m happy to say that our snow drought seems to be coming to at least a temporary end tonight as low pressure moves up the Atlantic coast and into the Gulf of Maine tonight. We stand to get at least a few inches here on the summit with the possibility of more if the center of the low manages to stay closer to the coast. Tomorrow will surely be a snowy shift change when my crew heads off the mountain.
Looking back at this past shift, we have seen several fantastic sunsets. So, I wanted to take an opportunity to share a few photos that I have taken. Starting with my favorite for the week:
A panorama of sunset on Monday, looking southeast
Clouds below the summit at sunset last Thursday
Interesting colors under the undercast, sunset last Friday
For a bunch more pictures from this shift, be sure check out my blog on AccuWeather.com. Also, I posted a couple new videos to our YouTube site today!
