Freezing Rain Tuesday

We received 1.4” of snow (probably more) of snow overnight but then it changed to an extended period of sleet and freezing rain. While dangerous to drive and walk on it makes for some great photos. he only thing missing is the sun coming out right after some freezing rain – spectacular!

Snowtography

Took advantage of a very nice Sunday afternoon weather day to get some nearby outdoor snowtography shots.

A very cold night is forecasted with lows in the single digits. Tomorrow will follow with another cold day. Next shot of snow will be late Monday night with a gradual turn to sleet and freezing rain on Tuesday.

Winter Shadows

This caught my eye as the afternoon was wearing on. Ignore the sun flare in the upper right hand corner as that was artificially enhanced by the window and the post processing.

I like how this shots turns an innocent oak tree into a creeping monster about to attack the house!

We received 6.9” of new snow from the most recent storm. We now have 9” of snow on the ground. It doesn’t look like its going anywhere fast. It looks to be cold this week with possibly a little bit more over the weekend and perhaps another storm chance early next week followed by a very cold snap. Whatever happened to the January thaw?

Sun-Snow Shower

Clouds have been increasing all day today. there was a nice sunrise picture I took but it was through the bathroom window screen and didn’t turn out so great. By the time I would have got dressed and went outside, the beauty would have been long gone.

During the early afternoon we actually received a sun-snow shower! Granted its kind of hard to really see the falling snow especially since it was light. Furthermore I snapped this with my camera phone (5 mp Samsung Focus).

Let’s see if the forecast for tonight and tomorrow Am is correct. I have a bad feeling the heavier snow will stay to our east…

Snowtography

Today is a nice winter day. It’s also the calm before the proverbial storm. There is a potent snowstorm forecast to start later on Tuesday. It could hold off until tomorrow night.

Today’s adventure was with a telephoto lens.

Wizard of Oz

OzBlogWe had more snow today (1.5”) but I’ve been blogging about weather a lot lately.

I had the opportunity to take some PR photos for an upcoming theatrical production. ShowKids invitational theatre (SKIT) will be performing “Wizard of Oz” from February 5-13 on weekends. For tickets please go to www.showkids.org.

Since the cast is triple cast, I couldn’t just post one photo.

Snowy Friday

ccWe picked up 2.1” of new snow today. Schools only had a delay. Thankfully all afterschool activities took place (long story).

This photo was taken while it was still snowing out a little.

More snow is expected on Saturday. Up here it should only be a dusting to 1”. You have to keep an eye on those because sometimes I’ve seen dustings being cleaned up with a snow blower Smile
