Absolutely EPIC snowstorm coming

[DrPizza]

7 or 8 inches here. Nice to have a little more snow on the ground so I could torture our little dog by making him run down the path, following the laser, and right off the edge of the path into the snow over his head. Hilarious. Only worked once though - he caught on way too quickly.

Still zero school cancellations here - extra days for spring break!

Only my Spanish teacher assigned any homework over the email. All the others just dont seem to give a fuck. When you miss a whole week out of a 16 week course, it tends to mess up schedules. I hope we dont have to rush like maniacs to get done.

Next few days will be rough...

you using a tripod and taking multiple exposures or are you using one pic and just setting different exposures in photoshop before using photomatix?

I've goofed around with it a few times using one pic and cheating with photoshop, but never get anything impressive looking.

Yep, tripod and 7 exposures. You CAN shoot a RAW file and then create several different "exposures" from one file, but there's no substituting actual data. Images were combined using Photomatix and final image tweaked in Photoshop.

CBS weatherman said tonight this snow could be a trend for the next 10 years.

sorry I was laughing at the weatherman giving a future prediction, they can't get the next week right half the time, how are they going to predict 10 years from now

30 inches on the ground here and blizzard conditions all day and through tonight.

Its not paralyzing for my area, we have had big storms before but it is quite a pain in the a** after you run out of places to push it.....

2" per hour for 12 hours is insane.

we get hit with snow squalls off of Lake Huron. I had the year wrong; it was 2006.

we got hit twice like that:

once in 2006 Dec 7:

Snow Only for London - 2006. London dug out following one of the worst snowstorms in history on December 7-8. More than 40 cm of snow blanketed the city in less than 24 hours in a classic lake-effect snow burst. Unofficial reports had in excess of 65 cm inside the city, yet in the outskirts much less snow fell. London registered its first "snow day" in 25 years and businesses also took the day off.

and again in 2007:

Pre-Winter Weather Mayhem - 2007. On December 3, Ontario struggled through its first big winter storm that featured an ugly mixture of snow, freezing rain, ice pellets and rain. London got 60 cm of snow from the initial storm and from almost continuous lake-effect squalls over the next couple of days. Thousands of students stayed home for two days as icy roads and blowing snow made travel treacherous, especially north of London. Almost 200 drivers in the London area showed up at a local collision reporting centre on December 3, setting a record for the worst day ever for crashes. In Ottawa, the storm dropped 24 cm of snow in a 24-hour period.
