Snowed all night here on the mountain (something I had seriously wished for...lol); temperature is currently at 1C, according to the thermometer on my patio. I may set aside the 35s, and bring out a Hasselblad, and wander over to the university to shoot some architecture (I've got 3 A12s loaded with PanF+, at the ready).
The "downside," though, may be the matter of getting off the mountain later in the day if the snow continues (My Beemer has performance rubber - so that's a no - and my Honda has "all seasons" (lol); reading the Globe and Mail up in my study this am, I could see out the window of my second story study that more than a few folks were having issues navigating through the white stuff.
This was actually last Monday. Where I realized the steep hill was covered in sheet ice (rare for us). 'Tried to turn around, but took unplanned/controlled slide 40'. I knew I was (spiral fastener'd). Car came to rest against a tree & the curb. I walked up to where the slide started to get a shot. Its a really uneasy feeling to think the worst is over & find out otherwise. It may have been against a curb, but I watched it start another 40' slide further down the fortunately empty street. 'Lightly grazed a light pole. I went back & was able to retrieve the car - seemingly undamaged the next day.
In California we put snow on the mountains for the skiers and snowboarders and ice in the drinks to chill them. Putting ice and snow on streets and sidewalks is just plain silly. This is a really simple program. Get with the program.

I thought it was great to see a picture in this thread, which brought home the weather for us visually orientated people. Perhaps more people could respond to this thread with a picture/description rather than just a description in words. I know it could be slightly out of date due to film process/ printing, but so much more meaningful.
It was Audi control...
