In the latest
podcast, Paul asks Jocelyn what her perception of a 'Montana winter' was before she came to live here. They mentioned that the weather fluctuates, and generally it's not the "big block of ice" and always "30-bellow" that might be the common perception.
I've been at Wheaton Labs for about 2 months now, first in November and now in January, and the weather is showing itself to be both quite dynamic and moderate at the same time. Fluctuations are always happening, but always with fluidity. Change in the weather doesn't seem to be fickle, but it moves in with ease and moderation.
Temperate. :)
I have a favourite tree that I pass by several times a day by the tipi. It seems that every time I walk by, the tree is obviously different. Sometimes it's the lighting, sometimes it's the precipitation that's accumulated on the needles. Here are photos of my 'Weather Tree' from the yesterday and today.
