The Monterey harbor fleet was out in full force tonight in all their holiday splendor. This is a wonderful annual tradition where all of the boats come through decorated in lights. It’s so wonderful to watch!
Monterey Christmas Light Regatta
Working on the truck and checking out the burn piles in the snow
Dawn came with Poofy waiting to sit on my lap. The snow was gorgeous in the early morning light.
My truck was being temperamental with starting. I finally traced the issue to the air flow meter gate being frozen shut. I had to use some heating pockets to warm it up enough to get the gate moving so the truck could start. I had this same problem back in Oregon when it got cold enough but not in Colorado. It’s a very strange problem.
The burn piles did a great job of eliminating the extra woody debris. And wow the cornice on the house is crazy big! It reminds me of a glacier.
Lighting piles in the snow
More snow overnight made for a really beautiful day. It was perfect conditions to light off a couple of big piles of slash material and woody debris that needed to be burned.
This is quite a bit of snow for Forked Meadow.
The piles burning at night in the snow really added to the ambiance of the meadows.
