Meteorological Winter

Foggy roadway descending down hill

The space around you is just grain of sand

Civil twilight transitions into daylight

Close to the beginning of December is the start of meteorological winter. Temperatures drop. Many plants go into dormancy. The days get shorter, making nights come even sooner, bringing even more cold air with it. A short amount of daylight, low UV, followed by even sooner and colder nights.

But the New Jersey weather patterns love to play games. When those cold nights get replaced by sunlight and rising temperatures, the air fills with fog. The roadway runs through the vast depths of Brendan T Byrne on a foggy morning in December. A continuous forest will eventually lead to a vast, large pond. That pond is barely anything compared to the rest of the forest.
