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!

Experimenting with my new Sony A55V camera, I took this picture – see how the piled up snow is now taller than Margaret’s BMW!

This latest storm did exactly what was predicted – light snow late yesterday, turning to a much stronger overnight storm, leaving about 14″ (on top of all that we’ve had already this year, since very little has melted). And I took some photos 😉

 

Finally, we clear snow all the way to to the road so that the Audi is clear (but so far the BMW remains buried!); you can see here once again how the council leaves much of the road uncleared, making digging out much more challenging (on top of the plowed road being tipped on to what I have to clear):

The intrepid snow clearer measures snow depth – 14″ of new snow on top of a few feet of piled up from previous storms:
