NIGHT SKY IMAGE SALES ABOUT CONTACT |
January 29, 2010: Well since it's unlikely I'll have anything new for a while, I went back through a lot of 2009s photos and found a few that I should have posted a long time ago, but hadn't. Here is one from 6/17 near Marysville, Kansas driving back into the meso to stay on paved roads and try to get ahead of it again. I was recently informed that we missed a tornado on this storm about 5 minutes after this image.
The rest of the winter looks fairly boring (probably too early to be saying this), but I guess we had that coming after a mostly insane start to winter. Temps look to be average to above average next week...hopefully leading to an early end to winter. 30 days till March!
January 22, 2010: Totally caught up now, Squaw creek, fog/sun dogs, and hoar frost accounts done, just click each one for a link to the page, or look on the recent images page.
January 21, 2010: Got all the photos done of the ice storm, although I may head back up there on Saturday as it looks to get really windy. Either that or thunderstorms here! lol. I need to get all the accounts done soon, probably do two more, one for squaw creek and I'll probably combine the sun dogs, frost, and fog into one. Anyway, the link is here for the ice storm.
January 20, 2010: Major ice storm in western Iowa last night. Over an inch of ice in places on top of a half inch of rime ice, branches were coming down all over. After looking at the radar estimate on precip, noticed the most fell between Soldier and Dunlap, so I drove there. Roads weren't too bad, except gravel roads, which were impassible as they were coated with an inch of ice.
 
Got a lot of images to go through, will definitely have an account for this storm later.
January 18, 2010: Hey I guess 2010 isn't starting off too bad lol. Some new stuff here. Had some thick rime ice a couple mornings ago, sucked that it never really cleared to a blue sky lower to the horizon for a couple of these shots, fog stuck around until 1pm and cleared a bit west of Omaha but then started to get foggy again around 3pm lol. Been Foggy/freezing foggy for like 6 days now, only the first two days were kinda cool, now its just some crappy general fog that visibility never gets below a quarter mile, but its called "dense"... kinda weird to call that dense when compared to the squaw creek trip in the crazy dense fog that limited visibility to 50ft or less at times while driving the hour and a half to mound city.
That is one of the crazy rime ice that covered a TON of trees west of hwy 6, once you get out of the city and trees are more spread out they accumulate a lot more freezing fog. I wish I had better light for this one, it was still foggy and cloudy.
This is from the first night of fog at Platte river state park, there was a shadow cast by some light that shot up into the sky like a light pillar almost. I'll post more later, probably put together a whole page at some point.
January 14, 2010: Had some good snowmelt fog last night, met up with Chris Allington down at Platte river state park. Ended up making fogbows with his new Jeep, lol. Easily the brightest one I've ever seen. It looked very cool when you got below the headlights so there was a shadow underneath each side of the bow.
I've got a few other images I'll get up at some point. There was a cool scene on the tower of the entire river engulfed in fog and a trains lights lit it up pretty eerily. Also a crazy looking light pillar/fog shadow thing.
