A good chance for folks to experiment with +1 or greater EV to get the snow looking white & not grey or blue.

It's -5F in Denver right now. The sky is blue and we only took on about 2" of pixie dust. You guys in the midwest and N.E. are gonna get clobbered. Have fun!

Not from this storm, but we've been getting hammered in the mountains this season, with very little in the city:

Thats why i'm glad I moved here!!!!!!

Central Illinois here as well, this is the method they are resorting to, to clear parking lots:

lol, the red truck pushed all the snow into that pile, the front loader then put it in the big truck.

Theyve already trucked off 3 loads and the storm is just beginning

First photo taken at 1230pm, I believe this is the last that we could removed the snow in our driveway. I'm using these shots now as I have nothing to focus on now let alone see in the previously posted angle.

Taken at 8pm, doesn't seem much but has shut down Kansas City into a state of emergency. So far about a foot has landed but in Central Missouri they are looking at 1 1/2 to 2 feet of snow. Winds at 30mph and temps dropping to 0. I miss Spring.
