Bitter Cold Sunrise at Battlestar Norman

2021-10-29 By Roger Edwards

Bitter Cold Sunrise at Battlestar Norman

One of the coldest mornings in decades dawned with solidly subzero temperatures, snow cover, and anthropomorphic, convective “steam” clouds rising from unseen HVAC vents into the light of the rising sun.  Because of a pandemic and the time of day, very few people were working in-office anyway, save for a handful of forecasters and security personnel stationed at the National Weather Center (a.k.a. Battlestar Norman).  The quiet outside was broken only by the passage of a vehicle every several minutes on nearby Highway 9.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
