Description
I know the people who live where snow is hates this or so bore with these images i be posting it be old hat to them.
That ok ; you have to remember it do not snow here or if it do it melts the second it hits the ground. This time it was here for a halve a day.
Here you see mine truck ready to go. I took shots of the house and all and this one was the best one. I noted for 3d people and all that do snow it was falling in diff ways and not like rain in one way.
ISO 320
expousre time 1/30
f stop 4
just in case you wish to know and i did not have my tripod. Lost a lot of photos. wish I used one
the ISO some lol
Anyway I show what I saw on the way to Lake Martin which I was spooky to do for I do not know how to drive in snow or on ice. Even if you do you do not wish to drive here when it do for you may know how but the people here do not.
Thanks for looking and comments and votes. i know this photo is not much but got to start out somewhere and go to some wheres. Good to study how snow falls so you can put it right in 3d art too
oh last time it snowed like this here was in 1972 and I remember when I was a child it came up to my knees. Old people here say it use to snow every year and the ice be in the shadows all winter. but then the Atom bombs tests change all that and it no more. Think they moved the jet streams to where they at today. This is the most they have on record for Dec. for snow. now rain that a whole diff ballgame

Yep, you guys down there got some snow last week and the states above me got snow and ice storms. Luckily, this time 'round, all we got here in eastern PA were heavy rains that brought many creeks and streams over their banks. I'm used to driving in snow and it doesn't bother me....ice? That's when the Jeep stays put, right in the driveway. Great rare capture you mangaed to get, Jock.

You got more snow than I got here in Detroit! Gee, weird weather! Great shot, thanks for sharing!

You sure got some snow there Jocko! Nice photo too!! We had ice and snow here for several days, then it warmed up the last two days and most is gone. So what's it do next, back to cold and windy, with, I expect, snow to come back again soon. That would be okay , but here it will stay too long!

Snow is never boring and old, however it does make one tired after a while. Great shot!

I am happy we did not get any in Florida. You had all the fun. did you build snowmen? It looks wet enough. Just pack a ball and start rolling it. In another thirty years maybe.

Where I live, there is no snow at all, so for me this is a wonderful capture. I almost can feel a cold srart in the morning in the weather like this.
emmecielle

let's see it was 2006 here in the desert of Ca my son called (we are canadians))mom get out of bed look outside I couldn't believe my eyes my blue car in the driveway was white covered with snow,I got my clothes on got out there and made snowballs and started throwing them at the window,where frank was now up looking at me like I went mad,he hates been cold so he just watched lol However it went as fast as it came: JOcko this is a great capture with your lights shinning on the snow, and I see foot prints you should frame a few as you may not see it again Myself I would never get bored upload more:

We also got that snow in 1972 in the Galveston area. I have a picture of my 6 mo. old boy being held on his feet with a huge coat with hood that covered his face in about 2 inches of snow. It was such an event. But I hear this snow was bigger and better than that one. We have a friend in Baton Rouge who is still yammering about it :-) Great shot, Jock, and I know how exciting this was.

Nice shot, Jock. And it's a funny story too... Boy... 1972... that's a couple of years ago...LOL. Very annoying to drive in snowy weather.. No snow in Denmark yet, thank God.+5

I didn't imagine that the freak weather caused this much snow, looks dangerous to drive on, but fun ! Neat capture Jock & ~Cheers~

A good shot of this strange weather.It looks like a wet,heavy snow.We just got covered with some snow here in Colorado.It makes it rough for the bikeriders,but it is winter.

Outstanding! I don't know about your indictment of the atomic devices vis-a-vis the change of the planet's climate, though. Nothing's been proven yet as to the real source of the change.
