Biggest Snow of the Year

The High Coun­try near Boone and Blow­ing Rock received its biggest snow­fall of the year on Sun­day, March 1, 2009. Snow started around noon on Sun­day and fell at a very fast rate with the first inch stack­ing up within the first thirty min­utes of the storm. By 3pm roads, with three to four inches of fallen snow, were impass­able because of slick con­di­tions and stranded motorists who blocked the road­way. Watauga County res­i­dents awoke Mon­day morn­ing to between 8–12 inches of snow and many stranded vehi­cles still on roads and highways.

Winter Blues

Finally on the mend from the hor­ri­ble flu bug going around this year, I am dis­con­tent to have missed so many photo oppor­tu­ni­ties. I was able to go out for a very short pho­towalk around my neigh­bor­hood to see what sights I could find after our last snow­storm. Even though I didn’t get to stay out for very long due to a wind chill push­ing tem­per­a­tures down below zero, I am glad to be back explor­ing with my cam­era. Pho­tog­ra­phy is like a seek and find adven­ture even if  your prac­tice may be lim­ited to just your back­yard.
