Inversions

For the last week or more the entire valley has been under an inversion.   No sign of blue sky or sun the entire time.   On occasion one can see the stars during the night, but that's it. The little benefit from an inversion is that while the temperature doesn't really rise during the day, at night it doesn't get too cold.   The last few days the inversion intensified.  Now fog came in and ice fog.  All day today the roads and most everything was iced and slippery.

The ski resort opened on the 5th.   Here are pictures from up there on that day.  As you can see no clouds and blue sky above the inversion layer.   The weather forecast has wind and rain/snow this weekend.  And the prediction is the inversion will leave.  I hope so.  I miss seeing blue sky.
