Outside My Window ~ 3.4.2012
Outside my window…is setting up to be a frosty evening. Currently we are at 38°F, a low of 33°F is forecast for tonight. We have had not quite an inch of rain in the last 24 hours and the ground is quite wet. There is a chance of rain and snow in the morning…and then turning to rain later in the afternoon. That sounds nice and messy doesn’t it? We will reach about 45°F tomorrow….27°F tomorrow night….and a high of 68°F by Wednesday. Mighty peculiar weather we are having lately. We were fortunate and avoided severe weather this past weekend…although it did rain a good deal Saturday and Sunday. Until…

A Texture/Overlay Freebie
I was trying to decide what to post tonight as I played around with a few texture images I had when it morphed into this…. I used it in this image below as an example….first the original photograph Not a bad photograph…and now after I added the texture/overlay… My recipe for the “after” photograph was original image and one layer of Prototype 1 – blending mode is multiply @ 75% opacity…a second layer of Prototype 1 on top of the first layer – blending mode is overlay @ 40% opacity. You can download the texture/overlay here. It is a large 300dpi file ~ 3300 x 3300 ~ so it may…

Outside My Window ~ 2.19.2012
Outside my window…is a fairly nasty day….cold, wet, wind. Currently at 3:00 p.m. we are at 39°F with sleet and 13mph winds from the north north-east….gusts up to 22mph. Our forecast is calling for rain/snow this evening and a low of 34°F. No one seems to know if we are going to get any type of accumulation from this storm ~ everyone has a different story to tell. I suppose these types of storms are hard to forecast, but “it may or may not snow”…really, I could tell you that. I actually wouldn’t mind a storm like we had in the photograph above…the day after Christmas in 2010….snow everywhere with…

Outside My Window ~ 12.18.2011
Outside my window…is nightfall in Hampton Roads. We are currently at 31°F with clear skies…forecast low is 30°F. Cold. Tomorrow is another story with a forecast high of 56°F and sunshine but it will get cold again tomorrow evening. There is no snow in the forecast…chance of rain on Christmas day, but no snow. It appears as if we are not the only ones who won’t have a white Christmas. So maybe the mountains of snow received last year were actually some of this years snow? Would seem so…places that usually have received quite a bit by this time of the season have received only a trace so far this…
