Some of the creek was frozen over, some was frozen under, with running water pouring over the frozen riverbed! Beautiful but decidedly chilly, so we retreated to the house and the fireside warmth after grabbing a few photos.
For those wondering these were photos taken on my phone using Vignette for Android at its 5mp fine setting.
I’ve spoken before about the amazing resource that is the NASA/GSFC, MODIS Rapid Response website (See my post Snow in Great Britain). After the amazing, and record breaking snowfall along the east coast of the United States this week I’ve gone back there again and sure enough they have an amazing high resolution photograph of the aftermath of Snowpocalypse II. So if you click on the picture below the image will load to a resolution of 1 pixel being equal to 250 metres, and the only change I’ve made is to mark where Washington D.C. is so you can see where I was in all this snow!

I decided to take the camera for a tramp in the snow at around 8am this morning, so togged myself up in my multiple layers and went out to brave the snow and ice. You can click the photograph above to be taken to Flickr to see the complete set of photographs from the blizzard of 2009.
The final tally for snowfall was 20 inches! (figures from the National Weather Service)
