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.

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.
