Been on the dividing line for the heavier stuff for about an hour here in Astoria. It's been light to moderate rain, occasional wind gusts and distant rumbles of thunder.
Perhaps the reduction of human activity has given wildlife the ability to venture out or thrive where it once couldn’t. Maybe we’re just more aware of its existence because we’ve been forced inside. Idk.
Based around the melodrama on here from the past couple of weeks I'd say the consensus would be that winter never existed in the first place.
Maybe the real treasure of winter was the friends we made along the way.
I will forever remember this storm because my Uber driver taking me to a wedding cut off a salt spreader whose driver, rightfully, honked and flipped us off.
Made it to our country’s newest National Park today. White Sands National Park is the closest you can get to snow without being in snow. People sled down the dunes. Truly a treasure. Recommend it if you ever find yourself in that area of the country.
