Description
On a last minute flight to see an ailing Dad in Delmarva on Christmas day I shot this this atmospheric anomaly through the jet window as we flew over the hardest hit Virginia during a blizzard. I got to drive through the mess once I got on the ground, a beautiful but dangerous drive. Digital photo with Fujifilm 562.

Interesting pattern and color variations! Cheers

I have found that weather is one of the most beautiful and destructive forces... I almost enjoy the crazy hurricanes we get down here for that reason. Of course the days without power and the muck and downed trees and undrinkable water make me realize it's not worth it.

Oh I was super careful driving, as I had not driven in snow for years. My old West Virginia driving in mud, ice and snow returned to me, as I passed many downed vehicles on the road, tow trucks and highway patrol vehicles working to get people out of ditches. There were some white-knuckle moments as all movement had been down to one lane, passing cars were blinding with the whirling snow they left behind that just got illuminated worse by both headlights. I was blessed with a good set of tires on my rental car, and a good model for such driving. I was driving over bridges that had windshear along with snow drifts across them, hills with iced over slick turns. Though it was already dark as I approached the city, I soon found the situation to be better. When I arrived at my destination, the snow fall had been lighter, and the hotel parking lot was salted and ploughed already.
