There’s an abnormally large number of boats docked in the harbor today. My uneducated, land-lubber guess is because of the today’s weather forecast that says a polar low, also called arctic hurricane, may touch down today.
On Monday, a polar low hit, and WOW, let me tell you, it was something to be experienced… in the safetey of one’s home. Ferocious winds, heavy snowfall, zero visability and half- a meter to a meter snow drifts formed almost instantly on the roads.
So maybe that’s why there are so many boats today.. think I need to go over and ask one of the fishermen.
Reblogged this on Photo from around the world.
This picture seems from some other world as I gaze at it in the sweltering heat of Karachi.Wow.I hope you are safe.
Are you going to go for a stroll in an Arctic hurricane?
I actually had to walk in it with my three kids, 50 meters, out to the car.. and drive in it to get home. But the winds were only around 23 mps then… Not something I want to do again, though.
Wow, I love this picture!
Thank you
Seems like the proper place to be with such a storm in the forecast…and very striking image, too, Erica.
Thanks, Scott. We have come to the storm month – March. Lots of snow, snow drifts, and closed roads. But is beatiful when the storm’s blown by and has left new formations, patterns, etc.
You’re welcome…and so different from Idaho…does it still “blow you away” that you’re there at the edge of the world?
Yes, Scott, almost everyday. It is an amazing place
That’s good, Erica…and that’s a very familiar feeling with me, too.
Yes, Utah is a beautiful state. We are fortunate to live in such inspiring surroundings
We sure are!
