Fog and wind, snow forecast

We are not on the ocean. I woke up this morning at 4:00 - the time Edward usually starts stirring - and all was quiet. The lights were out. No one was stirring. I went back to sleep, checked again at 4:30 - same thing. At 5:00, I peeked out the window and saw the flood lamps over the whale landing area peering back at me through a heavy shroud of fog. So I let my head hit sink into my sleeping bag until 7:30 when I got up for good. Now the fog is lifting, but a hard wind blows from the south. It is forecast to shift to the west and be gale-force by tomorrow. Snow is in the forecast for tonight. Maybe it will stick, maybe it won't. It's that time of year.

Beautiful scene! The whales are my favorite part of the year for your blog, there's such excitement and I enjoy the photographs of the Native Alaskan people and the scenery of far north Alaska so much.
