This Better Be Winter's Parting Shot

More snow.

So, the snow that was supposed to snarl the morning commute here in the D.C. metropolitan area? It's arriving now, just in time to snarl the evening commute.

We're only supposed to get an inch or two (or that's what the liberal weather media establishment would have you believe), so if we get snowed in, I'll tell you right now: I have half a sub in the fridge and a plan for raiding candy from people's cubicles, but if it comes down to cannibalism, remember: The weak and the slow are the first to go.

I took this opportunity to try to get some falling snow photos. I haven't had much success; it's hard to pick out the snow flakes so that they look like more than just "noise."

At the suggestion of my cow-orker Jason, I lengthened the shutter speed and turned down the exposure levels, and this is what I got:

The hallway on the left leads to HQ.

Signs at the traffic circle.

Flagpole shot.

 If you see spots in the foreground, it's melted snow on the window. This is because I was inside. Why was I not outside? Two reasons:

1. I don't have a lens hood to protect the camera from falling snow.

2. It's really cold outside.

Thanks -- Joe
