Snowy morining



Arizona does not do snow well. Most of southern Arizona is covered in a blanket of snow and there is a heavy snow warning for Cochise County until 5 PM today. I woke up to about 6 inches of the cold white stuff, road closures and workers that are in varing degrees of not able to get the usual workday to happen. The town is generally shut down at this moment. The city services only the main street and other than that you are on your own. The roads are begining to clear a bit but I hope to continue to see this storm from the inside looking out.
I am no snow fan but it does make for interesting photos. There is always the challenge of exposure that will keep the snow white without blowing out the highlights. I don't see enough snow to be a good hand at is, but I keep trying.

  2. Went to Bisbee in '06 for the first time and can't wait to get back. It was almost physically painful to know that the place was covered with snow and I wasn't there. So I appreciated finding some nice photos of it (yours, here and on your flickr page). Good shots!
