Temperature Inversion


     For the last handful of days the Robson Valley has been living beneath a temperature inversion.  The high pressure, cold air above had created a dome which trapped moist and warmer air below it.  This left us with several days of thick overcast cloud which was fairly depressing.  The thick clouds prevented us from seeing any of the spectacular auroras that had been happened across North America.

    One of the interesting results of the inversion was that it caused trees to be covered and turn white with frost.  This made what scenery we could see, picturesque.  Here are a couple of photos.

    I was happy this morning to discover that the dome of the inversion had disappeared overnight.  Today we can again see sunshine and patches of blue in the sky.



Feel free to look at my paintings.  You can see them at: davidmarchant2.ca
