First Snow



PHOTOGRAPHER’S JOURNAL: This morning at about ten along River Road at the entrance to Steep Rock Preserve. The wind has just loosened snow from branches above the road; a crystal scrim flickers and falls, back where River Road winds. It only happens once, but, for whatever it’s worth, the picture is made.

It is a perfect snow: deep enough to cover yet not so deep as to limit access, sticky and well-behaved clinging to tree trunks and along branches even into the afternoon. By noon it is warm enough to feel my fingers again.

This is heavenly, Ted. Interestingly, the only snow we've had thus far arrived on the weekend of December 8th, so it looks like we both got our snow at the same time. Within a couple days, however, it was all gone and now we hover between 40-45° F. Not nearly cold enough to be called winter, especially for the Dutch who LONG to go ice skating again!

Awaiting snow right now. I'm hoping it will lead to wonderful pictures.
