ELP 005

It's been a mighty long time since I've been legitimately excited about a storm. Watching this one over the past few hours has been fun. We even had some thundersnow around 1:45 this morning.

Anyhoo, I don't know what the end result is gonna be, and I have to remember in the future to lop about 25% off the lower end of the forecast accumulation totals that we get about 24 hours beforehand, and then I'll know what to expect, realistically.

Went out venturing and photographing. The results:


When it finally decided it was going to stick, it stuck in the form of a very wet snow. This bush is down the street and is currently hogging up the entire sidewalk with its droopy ways.


North Cap & V, NW. V Street all the way back to at least 2nd has yet to see any treatment whatsoever.


The view down V Street.


This is the coolest part about snow storms: White trees.


The pièce de resistance: A Study in Simultaneity. The RI traffic cam and I take pics at the same time. One good thing: The colors on my camera are at least better than that of DC's traffic cameras. I've circled in red the camera source in each shot. You know, just to more fully embrace the geekitude.
