At least when it snows again, it re-colors the piles from ugly brown to pristine white! Perhaps 3″ so far (started falling in the night) and a few hours to go yet …
Still comparing cameras, and today the Sony A55V DSLR came out on top; it’s wider field of view gives a much better impression of the weather and today it got the white balance / color better than the HTC Inspire 4G phone camera …
The HTC Inspire added a very strange “warm blob” to the middle of this picture, no idea why; but a second shot did the same – somehow the camera’s color correction went crazy this morning!

Looks really pretty and that’s the way it should stay!
