The view out my window

I am out on sick leave today...caught the local crud that's going around I guess. Ashley is in the office today, but anyone seeking 310 permits from Thursday's board meeting will have to wait til tomorrow. I'll be mailing/emailing them out in the morning when I'm back in the office. In the meantime, it's tea and toast and naps for me. Below is a screen capture from my weather cam looking roughly south west over the valley. Windy and lots of clouds today.
