12Feb06 Middle of the Blizzard - 10077

Connecticut

Photo a Day, Day 319...Well the blizzard did not pass us by... This was taken this afternoon right after my first pass on the driveways. We have the upper shared driveway (only about half of which is visible before it curves at the top) and then our lower one. Unfortunately, our neighbors have this brillant idea to just drive on the snow which packs it down and turns it to ice so we try to get out there before they head out. Still have lots of shoveling on the steps to do but at least the bulk of the snow is done and I just did a second pass on the driveways so all should be ok for the morning..

Lovely image. I agree with it making for a nice postcard.

This makes me want to sing that old song about over the river and through the woods .. Wonderful, postcard kind of photo and nicely done in b&w.

Sounds like a lot of work, but this is a brilliant image ... can only imagine what it is like to live with snow! :)

Nice! Effective B/W. Balanced and full of effect.

Beautiful image. I really like this one.

This is very pretty in B&W
You need to talk to your neighbors, who aren't neighborly and don't help.
Dad says if he was their with his new tractor, he would buy the snow blower attachment (which we would never use here) and have it all cleaned off for you.
You be careful and stay warm

Nice picture - Stay safe in all that snow.

I think I would be happy to stay indoors. It does look pretty though.

I guess you are getting a tad bit of the snow. Nice image.

Oh, I'll say a blizzard!!! Maybe your neighbors will read this. Wonderful shot.

Looks like a postcard. Brr
Guest 12-Feb-2006 23:08
Perfect! A wonderful wintery scene, although I'm sure you'd just as soon not be dealing with it :) The b&w makes it seem even more cold and wintery!

Yep, you got me beat! I've had 2 passes by the plow already and will need a 3rd if I'm able to get out. Looks like you have an interesting incline to get out to the road too-love it, esp if you can't see what's coming around the corner, heh. Stay warm! Should be sunny tomorrow!
