Snow Drive: A Photo Journal

True to the meteorologists predictions, late this morning it began snowing. I went out at lunch and it was barely starting to stick to the ground. But by the time I got off work at 4:00 there was already enough snow to cover my car. I had my camera with me so I decided to document my drive home. I present the highlights for you here. Please enjoy the photos, click on them to enlarge.

About to face it: Looking out door to leave work.

And I made it, parking next to my snow pile.

Reports of Snow

The Weather Channel says it -6 degrees out, my thermometer appears to say -4.  This is the morning the bad car batteries out there drop out of the race.  According to the National Weather Service there is snow on the ground in 49 of the 50 states.  Which one has no snow?  Florida!  And yes, Hawaii has snow, on the Mauna Kea volcano.  With a summit at close to 13,800 feet, snow is common on it and it's neighbor, Mauna Loa.  Meanwhile, it's a winter wonderland pretty much everywhere.  Dress warm!

Europe 2003

I've been looking at the photos I took in Europe in 2003 and decided to throw a few of them up here to share.  Lyndy and I flew to Amsterdam, Holland in March 2003.  We spent a week driving about in a rental car (actually more like a van).  We drove a total of 900 miles in Holland, Germany, and France.  Here are some sample photos.  Please click to enlarge:

Yes, there really are windmills in Holland.  Lots of them.
