It used to do so, but now it doesn&#8217;t, it seems. The forecast says it&#8217;s going to snow this afternoon; we shall see.<\/p>\n<p>The kittens are much larger now. I&#8217;ll put up a new batch of photos sometime within the next few days.

Each hexagon is a bit more than an inch on its long axis. There&#8217;s a sheet of diffusion paper on top to unify the light from the three elements in each LED. The LEDs are driven by a microcontroller that generates different patterns of changing colors and so forth. I&#8217;ll document it here in greater detail once I summon the enthusiasm to do some video editing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update:<\/strong> It&#8217;s 1:15PM and some snowflakes are falling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I realize that writing about the weather doesn&#8217;t make for the most interesting blog posts, but last year I made a mental note to try to record some notes about the weather for my own reference.
