The modified weather in Skagit county for farmers is horrific. The sky is always being worked on and most of the times very dim. Naturally it would have been spring in the Northwest since early February. But it is such a crime what they are doing, the sick massive build up of cloud along the coast in the west. You can never see past the thick cottony buildup intermixed with absolutely black and ungodly orange wall. Wherever the sun breaks thru in the black artifacts, there's a bright metallic rim. In the middle of the sky trying to be blue there is obviously high altitude aerosol spraying going on. To the east there seemed to be a screen of smoke rising from behind Sedro Woolley and blooms of white appearing to rise from the forest in from of the hills at the foot of the Cascade Mtns. Do they build these artifacts from the ground up? We ate at a restaurant and when we were in the parking lot, that huge wall of smoke rose up and started covering the town. It smelled horrible and I started feeling sick and ran inside.
We drove around Lake Cavannaugh and that horrible gray close to the ground sky was everywhere, it had been snowing. The sun shone hot and bright in any break of clouds, straining to break through. Almost immediately it would be doused with thick batting & plenty of black stuff that turned gray as it diffused. And artifacts from high flying jets you can't even see in this kind of muck. Everywhere are dead and sickened trees. Land owners have huge piles of the dead stuff. What used to be a wonderland of green mosses & lichens & fresh smelling tree & plant life & wild life is ruined. Normally at this time it would be green and healthy looking. No wonder the tulips aren't growing up here. It's h*##.
