Photo of The Week - January Beach
Bishop's Beach - Photo by Michael Sharp
See a full size version of the image here.
The Omega Block suffocating us with sub-zero temperatures was smashed by a series of storms known collectively as a Pineapple Express: Storms connected to the tropics. The massive storms brought 100 m.p.h.(161 k.p.h) winds and several inches of rain. Warm rain. It had been -10ºF (-23ºC) and quickly became 45ºF (7ºC). The snow is all gone, the grass is green. What a tease, it feels like spring, but it is January in Alaska. So we took what we could get, a sunny day on the beach. What a glorious, glorious feeling to walk the sunny beach in January!
