Seems that way. It got cold and windy, grounded for now.

The opposite of the weather I like to see.  Oh well we only have 62 days and 15 hours before Spring.

Counting the moments. Just trying to hang in until March.

We had the same yesterday

At least it's something to take footage of.

A winter wonderland   I had to travel over to the next valley to find any snow this afternoon

We are supposed to get hit again this week. Sitting and waiting. It's to cold and windy now.

Nothing our side of the hill just now. Thursday overnight might be the next time.

Down to the hour huh?

Congrats on the Snow Charles.

I hear you on that.  My hope is that this incessant rain will ease up.  It's never rained here this much in all the years that I can remember.

Sorry, I should have just said it in days and dropped the hours.  Anyway, it can't get here soon enough for me.

We are having the same problem. The water tables are high and my UAV forecast app has been red for two straight weeks between wind, rain and cold.

Ive just been told we have 60mph winds coming in for the weekend.

Crazy winds and cold temps make for a depressing weekend.

Ive just had to replace 8 fences from the last winds and the last 4 panels have just been painted ready to reinstall.  so I think Im putting that off until after this weekend.

I don't blame you. I was just talking to the owner a fence company that says they have no time to put up fences because they are replacing all the broken ones from the wind.

This rainy weather just make me grumpy, guess I need to take a "chill pill".

My UAV App has been red but just due to rain and wind.  Fortunately, not due to cold.  

Had a nice time at the pistol range today.  A couple of the local Deputy Sheriffs showed up and they were bragging about how well they can shoot.  I asked if they were interested in a little match for bragging rights.  One of the Deputies said let's sweeten the pot and  make it for bragging rights and $50.  I said your own.  Three matches later they left and I was holding their money.     One of them wanted a rematch and the other one was smart enough to convince his buddy it was time to leave.

Sounds like a satisfying day.

It was a great day.  Now I just have to hope neither of the Deputies are following me around to give me a ticket for anything.

That just may happen. They may be a little sore.

It's OK to gripe a little here. We all understand the feeling.

Guess I better keep my dashcam running all the time for the next couple of weeks.

Yes, but I just don't need to bring other peoples moods down.

We're all feeling it in winter.It's good to know you're not alone.

Indeed it is.  I just don't want to be a fun vacuum.

True I am sometimes a little negative. Better to be real though.

No argument here.  Hope your weekend is off to a great start.

Nice video Charles!
Did you do much to the colors?

No believe it or not that blue cam from the snow and the blue hour. I increased the saturation a little, but I actually took some blue out of it.

Maybe the snow fooled the white balance (I have seen this happening)

I thought it was an interesting effect.

BetterBizTech Posted at 2-21 09:03

Yeah, it's def. interesting.
Gives a 'cool' feeling and I often make my images cooler if I'm after that effect.

Nothing like a cold snowstorm. Blue works.

Exactly. For photography that is a nice opportunity.
