Snow, snow, and more snow...

[Sphexi]

Started snowing early this morning in the northeast, and all that piddly stuff that the south got is hitting us harder than they said it would. Last I checked we're up to 4 inches or so, and it's going a bit harder than it was earlier. Kind of a sleet/snow thing going on, although it's slowly turning to just big flakes of soft snow.

I was bored so I took my A95 out on a tripod to get some pictures, hopefully to give you an idea of how big the flakes are.

Same pic but zoomed in at 3x
Front yard/road

These were all taken at full resolution (5MP) then resized in Photoworks, as well as touched up with auto-contrast. Basically had the shutter set at 1/200 except for the second one which because of the zoom was set at 1/500. You can see how big the flakes are, and it's coming down fairly hard, so by tonight we should have another 3 or 4 inches if it keeps up. Just in time for me to go to work

Snow rules except that 99.8% of people don't know how to drive in it.

Welcome to the northeast, where all the flatlanders come to live. Annoys the hell out of me how people brake going downhill on slippery roads, not realizing that their cars are front-heavy on purpose, and if they just coast they'll keep going straight. Hell, my winter tires are in my trunk right now, I'm running on pretty bald summer tires, and I have no problems at all.
