5:30am - I had been thinking of ways to destroy my alarm clock for the last 30 minutes when I got a text message that said "look outside your window, I don't think you have school today!" Funny how fast it is actually possible to get out of bed. =) Here's what I saw::
7:30am - Of course I was too excited to go back to sleep so I reveled in the joy of an unexpected snow day for a few hours then ate the obligatory snowy day breakfast::
8:05: Brownie did some investigating; she came back in pretty quick=)::
10:15 - I suited up and headed out with camera in (gloved) hand to snap some pictures::
Actually by then it had already started to melt some. But it was still pretty!
I'd say it was about 3 inches (that's a lot in these parts!)
Before I went out, I looked up some tips about taking snow pictures. Apparently the brightness of snow can throw off the white balance on your camera and cause the pictures to look dark or bluish (kinda like the picture above). So I fiddled with the white balance in my camera to try to correct this. I'm not sure if I ever got it exactly right but at least it gave me some practice I guess!
