We had what the weather forecasters now call "a snow event" yesterday here in Toronto. I think the same storm also hit much of the MIdwest and Northeast US, so Paul, Ken and any other Michiganders (haven't seen Mark Cassino much lately, have we?) must have got hit, too.
They were calling for over 12 inches, but this morning they said we only got around 7 - looking out the window, it sure looks like close to 10 or 12. Winds were high (40 km per hour - it wasn't a "blizzard", which needs 50 km/h winds) and lowish temps (-17 C, with wind chill in the -30's) made for a fun day. I mean, literally, a fun day. I bought a Metro Pass, which allows me all day access to Toronto's excellent transit system, and took the street car and subway all around town, whilst luckless drivers slid their way about. Of course, a camera was mandatory in such conditions, and I got lots of cliche "people trying to walk along, hands holding their collars to their face while the wind tugs at their coats, snow whipping by them" shots. Hopefully, some of them will turn out. Most people walking by were so busy trying to negotiate the wind and snow they didn't even notice my camera. Today's beautiful and sunny. Should be lots more photo ops out there. Anyone else out there shooting in the snow this weekend? cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
