Nice weather capture, Dolores! A very common sight for me this time of year. in fact I'd probably title it "daily commute' :-)

Hi Gary!! Yes, I would imagine this would be common for you!! I think your title is excellent! This was captured today...our 4th storm in the Northeast thus far! Quite an aberration for us..I don't think I've ever experienced this much snow since my transplant here from Northern (northern tip) Maine. Gary...many thanks for kindly "stopping by" and taking time to comment! Happy day!

This is a great shot, Dolores. I hope you were able to get it from your driveway, or better yet your kitchen window. But I suspect you were probably out driving in this!

Yep...you bet I was out in this!! I have to work really hard for photo ops at this time of year! I'm safe though...I have a brand new 4x4...plenty of airbags...and I stay clear away from other vehicles!! The vehicle approaching in the image? Was a UPS truck!! He stopped and asked what I was doing and if I needed any help....what a nice guy! Who says there aren't any more nice people! I appreciate your comment, Carol! Thank you!!

Hi Cees!! Thank you so much!! My snow flakes are much sharper on my file on my system but when I upload a file here, I notice the image becomes "soft". I'll ask Jim about that. I appreciate that you extended your time to comment, Cees! Happy day! Hi Carolyn!! Thank you, daahhhhling! I can imagine that you don't see days like this often...what with all the luscious sunsets I see from your way! I appreciate your comment and that that it made you feel chilled! ;?) Greetings to you, Pat!! I value your supportive and approving comment on this image! Thanks so very much for your kindness! Happy shooting! Robert!! Greetings from the United States to Poland! I'm delighted that the image evoked chilliness and a sense of being there!! It was VERY cold and windy when I shot this and I was glad to be back in my warm vehicle. I waited until a vehicle came in my frame and was thankful for his lights! Thanks so much, Robert....I appreciate your kind comments always!

HI Bill!! My goodness...how generous of you to comment on my work! I value your time and kindness more than you know! This was a UPS truck...when he saw me in the middle of the road in a blizzard, he thought I was stranded and offered to help. I thought it was so kind of him to offer assistance. He must have thought I needed psychiatric help !
