These are more fun when school is closed ;-).
Around here, the first thing kids think (and hope) when snow starts is if
school would be closed.  Or more accurately, that's probably what teachers
hope :-).

The inexperienced drivers and badly equipped cars part I do understand.
Driving in snow at regular tires that irresponsible. 

But what puzzles me is that the schools are closed down. When I was a kid it
was a lot of fun going to school in the snow. The boys had an excuse to
flirt with the girls by doing the put snow underneath their clothes trick.
That's a classic flirt ;-)
Never did any good, but us boys thought it worked. We also had great fun by
throwing snowballs in the neck of the inspecting teachers trick. 

Ok. This is our customs. It is kind of funny reading about others.

Tim,

Washington, DC is a very southern city - think of Rome maybe.
30+ years ago, friends from the Midwest (hardy Iowa natives) moved
there for a time.  These folks were raised with snowstorms and snow on
the ground in winter.  A 6 inch snowfall was nothing.  People shoveled
their walks, drove to work, the kids went to school.  The temperatures
dropped to -20 C and still it was no problems.

When they moved to Washington, DC, they had a 2 inch snowfall.  Our
Iowa friends thought nothing of it.  Got in their car and drove off to
work.  The Policeman stopped them.  "Sir, don't you know there is a
snow emergency in effect.  You cannot be out driving in this without
studded snow tires!"  My friend - 'But we drive in this all the time
in Iowa.'  "Well not here sir, go back home now."

My friend said the local drivers had no idea how to drive on snow and
caused many accidents because of it.  In addition, the city had no
snow removal or sanding equipment either.  Their strategy was to wait
for it to melt!

Some more extreme examples are here, and you can see the "glow" in many 
of them:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/kros/sets/72057594073655609/

This one has alot of glow:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/kros/112534470/in/set-72057594073655609/

I like some, hate some, and am indifferent to many.  It opens up some 
interesting possibilities.

Why close a school because of two inches? To make sure the kids don't have
fun in the schoolyard?

I have good news today. Now we have about four inches here, and it is still
snowing. It feels good, mainly because it makes me relax a bit about the
world climate (don't get me wrong I'm still worried). But also because the
reflections from the snow gives more light. We will not see the sun here
until the 12th of February. With no snow, it becomes very dark at this time
of year. About a third of the population suffers from light depressions
because of this. Lack of daylight affects the chemistry of the brain, the
experts tell us. Don't know if it's true, but it sure feels true to me. 

But, right now, that does not matter. Now it is snowing :-)

There is of course a reason or sense (struggling with words here) in 
adding this additional glow to the picture like this. I admit I spent 
just a moment deciding is this just a glow or is this a snow on top of 
these roofs... So, you may have hit the target with me.

Having said that, I also must point out that I've seen very few HDR

Thanks for looking Boris.  Yes, it seems many, if not all, HDR shots

I've a problem with this shot.

There is this white glow or whatever is the term just above the roofs of 
the buildings. Then there is same white artifact around the tree 
branches on the far left. Could be this is some kind of HDR effect. Yet, 
it makes this photo look unnatural.

The composition is right and I generally like the scene, given the same 
attitude we have towards snow in Israel ;-). But this HDR thingie - it 
is still very weird to my eyes.

for one winter in the 60s we lived in a remote cottage on Anglesey. We
awoke one morning to find snow drifting higher than our front door.
After digging us out my father tried to drive us to school (in one of
these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_A30), but we got no more
than a few yards before he gave up. As I recall we were off school for
about 2 weeks. 

Even in relatively recent years when I worked in Yorkshire it was not
uncommon to be cut off in quite major towns and not be able to get to
work.

Wonderful stuff, snow, in excess.

I did not start the doomsday thread because of nothing. We haven't had real
snow this year, so far. But let's not go into that again ;-)

Cool, I mean, Cold...

Were your highways affected/closed?  Our major overpasses were closed 
because they were too slick and were causing accidents.  Any elevated 
freeways were quite treacherous.  Its been worse however, I visited 
Austin once in the mid 90's and the whole place was a ghost town due to 
ice on the roads much worse than today.

Thanks for looking.

I know, we got a little more last night, and now the trees are starting 
to lose branches because of the weight of the ice on them.

I lived through a lot more snow during the blizzard of '78 in Boston, 
Mass, USA.  I had never seen so much snow before, or after that.  I 
think it was around 3 feet or so.

Seriously. We don't call snow unless it is an inch of the stuff, or at least
the ground is cowered in white. 

This said. I can imagine you being excited by the sight :-)

Had a nice and rare subject: snow in Texas (not north).  Thought I would 
take advantage of that to give HDR a try:

If you click on the thumbnail version you get the bigger version.  For 
those on slower connections, the big version is about 600K bytes 
unfortunately, I forgot to lower the quality during the JPG conversion.
