Minneapolis is getting its first real snow today--this is a real storm, with double digit totals for most of the metro area. As I think about it, this is the first major snow fall since I have been in the area--we have had snow, but nothing like this.
I went for a walk around my neighborhood to take these and I told a friend that I have taken these photos many times before--probably 20 times or more before. Every big snowfall deserved at least a few feature photos and I often took them. What I did discover today is that this isn't nearly as much fun when you are not getting paid for it or when you have to use your own vulnerable cameras. I made it about six blocks and then asked myself, "Self, what are you doing?" I am not the sharpest knife but I made it back to my drawer toot sweet. According to real weather people, snow was falling at the rate of 2+ inches per hour. I really thought that there was a lot of snow on the lens or something as these don't appear as sharp as they should. They are sharp and in focus, but there was just lots of snow in front of the lens.
I am sure that since the snow will be around for a bit and it is "pretty" out, I will find a few more photos in the next few days.
