Color photo. A short wooden footbridge in a forest of bare trees. There are inches of snow on the bridge railings, and footprints in the snow on the bridge itself. The trees and bushes area all coated in a layer of snow.

I woke up to beeping yesterday.

My UPS was informing me that the power was out, and could I kindly make sure everything plugged into it was turned off?

So I did, and then turned off the UPS to give myself some relief from the beeps.

Peeking outside in the predawn light the reason for the outage was pretty clear: inches of snow. Clearly a branch somewhere had broken off under the weight and taken a power line with it.

Which, obviously, meant my next course of action was clear: get the cameras ready, wait for daylight, put on warm clothes, and then get out into it.

It was that wet, sticky snow that covers everything, and all the trees looked like they were coated in marshmallow fluff. I went for a walk to a nearby park and had a good time seeing and shooting; I hope you enjoy what I brought back.

Color macro photo. A brown branch with green leafy moss growing on it and from it. Everything is covered in white crystals of snow and ice.
Color photo. A snow covered path beneath snow covered trees. The path curves to the right, and slightly down, before straightening and disappearing into the trees. In the distance, people are seen walking on the path, one of whom is wearing bright red snow pants.
Color photo. Thin tree branches coated in snow frame the photo on the left and top, and snowy trees are visible beyond them. A column of snow is falling from the trees down the center of the frame to the snowy ground below.
Color photo. A pond, its surface slushy. Out of it project many shrubs, small trees, and stumps. In the distance is a line of tall trees. A branch bends down from the right, its tip barely touching the pond. Every branch, leaf, and stump is coated in a layer of snow. The sky is grey with clouds, and a wan yellow light comes through thinner clouds on the left.
