The thunder and lightening we're having is amazing--a 1st time
experience for me. I just tried to take some shots off the back
landing, but it's hard to lock on for focus and you're fighting
elements constantly--so I didn't really get anything. Also, it's hard
to photograph; the snow looks like glitter, not big snowflakes. I
tried for some swirling snow, but when the wind picks up it makes me
unsteady and I lose control. When I use the tripod, I can't manuver
quickly when I spot snow swirles. I'd have to say the elements are
challenging.
I also got beaned pretty good by the snow in the cheeks--got a little
bump on my left cheek under my left eye. Snow accumulation by us not
much of a story yet, but the wind, thunder, and lightening clearly the
story. We hear wind and occassion gates thumping. 79 thousand people
are already without power in the Chicagoland area. Not good. Christine
Wow - thanks for the blow by blow.. its a good thing to do when one is
facing adversity... but stay inside if there is lighning and it
is recommended you don't use electronic devices... however, no one ever
pays attention to that.
I guess this thing is heading our way when it is finished with you...
for now we are in a lull Ice to start in the wee hours.
