08 As Predicted

Got hours and hours of freezing mist/rain then early this morning it transitioned to snow. Not sure how much we have since the winds are blowing like crazy, 25 to 40 mph with blizzard warnings till midnight and MCI is shutdown! Local authorities highly discourage travel say the snow plows and emergency vehicles are getting stuck. Go out, get stuck and you’re on your own.

I’m waiting for a while to fire up the snowblower. I fuel and tested it on Friday.

Yikes - you did get blasted. 2 events - ice followed by snow.

I follow a similar practice when voting. I have to feel pretty strongly about an image to give it more than 1, and then follows the challenge of which photo receives a deduction.

The single photo is a me thing. I know most of you will add several similar photos from the same shoot or style but it’s just not my style. I try to find completely different types for each entry. I do not feel anyone should follow my lead nor am I attempting to influence anyone in anyway. Everyone has their own style which I fully appreciate and respect. Never has multiple similar entries affected how I vote, if the entry grabs my attention I vote for it. Another thing a rarely do is weight the vote. Almost always it’s one full vote per entry. Not saying I haven’t voted 1+ here and there but it’s rare.

I wasn't aware of your one-photo-per-event limit, Paul, but understand and respect it.

When it was finished my area was 10 inches. I live on a corner and plows have yet to go on the street in front of my home but I have a side entrance garage and it’s been plowed. I took a photo of my front this morning I’m going to enter even tho it’s typically not my style to enter more than 1 photo from the same event. Paul

I heard eleven inches on the radio and saw the below. Stay safe and warm.

Plow snow is like mashed potatoes.

City plow came by and dumped a 16 to 20 inch high and 4 feet wide snow bank at the end of my driveway. I knew if I didn’t get it off now it would be a solid block of ice by morning since our overnight lows will be closing in on single digits. Paul

Just got back in from snow blowing, it was a fight but I won. 9 inches. My snowblower needs a new shave plate which made it tougher but the ice under the snow is what caused me most grief. Paul

Good shot of a crummy winter day.
Nothing worse than a layer of ice followed by snow.

Take extra care if there's ice underneath the snow. Just cold here.
