BIG storm

[953 nut 55,243]

Post card quality pictures, looks so tranquil and beautiful.       However I can hear the Poplar branches cracking and dropping to the ground and the snow blower firing up once the snow slows down a bit.    For now just put another log on the fire and enjoy the beauty.

Excellent classic Nor'eastuh storm!

A few pics.  

 

 

Zoom in from above. Note the downward curving poplar tree. 

 

 

These next two were taken one right after the other but the zoom changed the color tone for some reason. 

 

 

 

Here's another (poplar?) Leaning towards the side deck.

Well Ed. My apologies on being the bearer of bad news but we failed to get even a mere second of video. I have pics. Best I can do. Hope these suffice.  

🤠

 

 

Here's the machine beasts of the day. 

Trina's 867 Pigpen. Our Ariens commercial 24-in walk behind snowblower. 

 

 

The dooryahd in it's post snow removal state.  

Still a bit more to do tomorrow.

So... how much did you finally get total?

 

Doesn't look like 12" to me... more like maybe 6" ?

Post 75 I'd measured 10". 

 

It snowed for several hours after that too. 

I think it stayed right around that total though.  

This was VERY DENSE snow.  

 

Even our Ariens beast of a snowblower was actually working today.

The camera processor judged that overall there were differing amounts of color in the image and compensated. Snow is very hard for even the best cameras to judge automagically. On some cameras, you can control WB when setting up to capture the image but it's extra steps and for the level of precision I need it's easier to fix it in post processing!
