That&#8217;s the gray stuff. The brighter white is snow.<br \/>\nThanksgiving Day \u2013 bright and sunny \u2013 I went 8 miles SE for the afternoon. Lots of people, lots of food. While still light, but with dusk approaching, we could see fog creeping down the hills to our northwest. I encountered fog just a mile south of home. It has been here ever since. I had a few sunny minutes on Saturday.<br \/>\nOften, there will be clear sky here with fog starting about 4 miles south. Today I have fog near the ground and can see only about 100 yards. On I-90 near EBRG, the fog is not on the ground. Traffic cameras show clear driving with fog about 700 feet up. The National Weather Service thinks I am &#8220;Mostly Sunny&#8221; with a temp of 37\u00b0.  It is 27\u00b0 here and no sun. I was hoping to do a few things outside today, but will pass except for carrying in some firewood and taking sunflower seeds to the little birds. Monday about 2:00pm there may be enough wind to clear the Valley of fog. <\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t need to go anywhere until Friday, so no big deal<br \/>\nHappy December!<\/p>\n<p>Keeping Track<br \/>\non the Naneum Fan<br \/>\n John<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is a satellite view of central Washington State.
