michsnowfreak Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 It has been a beautiful week with lots of snow on the ground. Took this photo this evening as the sun was setting on Louisville's coldest day since 1996. Our high only made it to 10 degrees. glad you were able to contribute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 I say this everytime we get one, but its amazing how a little spritzer refresher snow transforms the old, deep snow into what looks like fresh, deep powder. Gotta love it. I finished with 1.3" of snow today. Avg depth about 13" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 great pics josh. Took this pic of the depth here today. this isn't shoveled or blown since shoveling here would be nonstop, and my blower throws snow 25-30'. the fall and winter depth comparisons...bench is 20" day before Halloween Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Always wanted to do a ski trip. Looks awesome! Here...just another bitterly cold winter night. The beat goes on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Another one from last evening, differently exposed. The slightest tweaking of exposure settings can make a tremendous difference. This particular one gave a much more rich color presentation compared to some of the others. Photography is a never ending learning experience to be sure lol.

michsnowfreak Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Here are some pics from my walk yesterday at Oakwoods Metropark. Just a gorgeous albeit bitterly cold late winter day. The first pic I just thought was cool (rainbow and all lol), the rest are from the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 great pics Josh.... Went snowshoeing in a forested area near my house. 45" of snow as the arctic front came through... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Gotta love those little refreshers. The snow looks bright instead of old, and it was the perfect contrast with the dark sky when I got home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked on my taxes today! owing the Guv money was frustrating but sitting at my desk, this was the view out to my front yard. It was a beautiful day but only climbed to 4 degrees, down to -3 now.

michsnowfreak Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Similar blue skies here today Bo, though I wish I was snowshoeing on your property too lol Bright sunny day ends a record cold February.

weatherbo Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 great pics Josh. weird seeing open water like that... looks so deep blue. you cancel your annual UP trip again this year? I hear between Grand Marias and Whitefish, there's upwards of 50". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Been some great pictures posted the last several days! That picture you posted Bo, on the 24th of the snowy forest near twilight could easily pass for somewhere in Central Canada that's not too far south from the treeline. Took this picture just east of Burlington, WI yesterday at sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 great pics Josh. weird seeing open water like that... looks so deep blue. you cancel your annual UP trip again this year? I hear between Grand Marias and Whitefish, there's upwards of 50". that area of water always stays primarily open because of constant ice breakers keeping it open. Ice flows depend on the current. No amount of cold would freeze it over, but the thicker the ice on Lake Erie & Lake St Clair the more icebergs will be flowing down the channel in April. And the blue was unreal today. Its more blue than the ocean (im guessing its something to do with the bright white snow ans cobalt sky...and yes ive seen the ocean lol).Ponds and lakes are another story. People who ice fish are saying the ice has been thicker the last two winters than they can ever remember. And yes I did cancel it again. New job for one...plus another year of deep snow to fill me up lol. I can only hope I will have to cancel again next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 ^Nice pics Josh. Those clouds go perfect with these wintertime pics. Had some similar clouds to that a few weeks ago in a few of my barn pics. Here's a few shots from today up at Castle Rock State Park, and White Pines Forest State Park north of Dixon IL. There's a good chance this will be my last contribution to this thread, as snow should start melting this week, and really don't see much down the road. Sunset on the way home early this evening.

michsnowfreak Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Awesome as always. One thing I will say...this winter will probably end up an A- grade from me, but it gets an A+ for photographic opportunities. I wake up this morning and i look outside an do a double take...even though its dark out, the deep snow is literally shimmering like a sequined dress. We have had some unforecast flurries overnight, just a trace, but its giving that mid-winter sparkle to the late-winter snowpack. Wont have time to take any pics lol, but its certainly pic worthy.

Yeah it's been great. Even before the big storm in early Feb I was pretty pleased with the ops that had been presented up to that point.

It's weird seeing Wrigley covered in snow like that. They need to hurry up with those renovations lol. Looks like they have a ways to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they have a ways to go. May/June is the current plan for having the bleachers done. Maybe. Another shot with guys out snow blowing the field. Love it.
