To top off the dark & moody storm moving in on Stratton & the dams, The American Queen was also making her trip up river to Pittsburgh Pa. We followed it from WV's Crestview Park, an overlook that looks over the scene of locks, dams & Stratton OH all the way to East End of East Liverpool.
Some enjoyable July weather moments. What ever the mood or type of weather it is, each one has their mood setter. Heavenly, romantic, cool-fun in the sun, exhilerating! I enjoy weather moments!

Here in NE OH, winter has been tolerable! Am very much glad about that. We've had anywhere from 2 inches and more at any given point followed by warmth - up to 50 + degrees, which melts it away. At the same time I think snow gets a bad rap, if the temps didn't get so cold, snow would be a bit enjoyable.
The first recollection of snow was when we lived in Bandon OR ( i was 2nd grade). We were with my dad on way our way home. The snow was heavy, white and beautiful. Dad stopped several times so that we kids, may peer up into it-it was dizzying & delightful. Its unusual, for the Oregon Coast climate it's normally rainy, cloudy & windy. The next morning there was 4-6 inches in the area. had lots of fun making a snow man and throwing snow balls at each other, so did my dad-he was from the Western PA and this is what he grew up with, I'm sure- he was recollecting what his life was like before he made the west his home. Love ya Dad, I still can see you in the driver seat of the car that night. It's something that has stayed in my mind, especially when the snow is heavy, white, wet and dizzying! |
