Some pictures from the storm

zespectre · Feb 12, 2006

Well it turned out to be more of a storm than I expected. I wound up driving as a volunteer all day (transporting staff for the local hospital).

anyway a few pictures of the "snow event" for your enjoyment.

Bobisculous, glad you liked it. That particular car was actually squatting on it's suspension from the (estimated) 300 lbs of heavy wet snow on the roof (and hood). But traffic didn't allow me to get a good side picture.

Here's my contributions (first pic is my house, second is my street):

The driver might be elderly or have a heart condition.

Look at how many people drop dead each year while shoveling snow.

Oh please, no one is going to drop dead from pushing snow off the roof of their car! (it's not like shoveling where you have to actually lift stuff). On the other hand if someone is that fragile I sure don't want them driving a car!

Why does everybody get decent amounts of snow except me

Great Pictures. I even looked at some of your others. I have saved some for wall papers. You are a good photographer. You have even convinced me I need to get a Canon SD400.

zespectre · Feb 13, 2006

Bravo25,
The SD400 is great from a portability standpoint. I still prefer my 10D for most work but the SD400 gets used a lot simply because I always have it with me.

Nice pics. We got about 18" with 3' drifts. I wish I had taken some the day of the storm, but I was too busy blowing the shoveling the stuff (long driveway, plus an elderly neighbor). Just today I took some pics of my machines to post on a outdoor equipment board. No jokes, remember we're all sitting around here talking about flashlights.

Here's one for now. I'll try to get my good shots from the last couple winters if I can find them.

damn i really hate snow.

heres a picture i took back in mid september, it's snowed a lot more since then though, hopfully it will start melting by April

My son claims he saw a flurry yesterday. Sorry, I couldn't resist. I grew up in Pittsburgh, so I'm not a stranger to shoveling, but I don't really miss it much.

Must be nice to have the white stuff from time to time. In phoenix we haven't had any ran in 3 months. I did go out and take some pictures yesterday but as you can tell we don't have any snow. Man I wish I was back east playing in that stuff. Be careful.

Picture of a sun storm taken Sunday :huh2:

Yes but I have been 80 miles south of Tuson when it snowed at night, and burned up during the day.

zespectre · Feb 14, 2006

Whew, that sunstorm looks pretty severe. How do you shovel all of that? <grin>.

James S · Feb 14, 2006

while i didn't even get any rain from this most recent snowstorm that you're talking about, I did recently find some slides from the dark and forgotten past. Here are a couple of picts I took as a high school student in Chicago the winter of 1985

This tree is bent completely over the road. After the ice melted, it straightened up and was just fine!
