Nice one Charlie. In spite of the distance, the snow flakes are well articulated. I guess they are big in Seattle.. -tv

I have a daughter in Chicago. The other is in England. Both are married, and each has a child of her own, and both are experiencing snow as I write this comment.

That's a lot of snow Charlie. Wouldn't it be ironic if it were sunny and 65 degrees in Chicago on March 28th? Nice capture. -COAmature

I think the snow in Seattle will take on a different flavor very quickly (unlike Chicago). Happy travels! Penny Street

I was going to use the Photoshop "Remove Color" command. But I got an error message: "What Color?" :-)

Well done Charlie, at least the snow usually isn't as cold in Seattle ;-) Yeah, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the snow this time of year- weird! And it looks like a crummy day for shooting today :-(

Nicely done Charlie & a good choice for B&W. Or did the weather create the monotone? Goodun mate.
