Huh?!? Bright green grass in the foreground and snow covered trails in the background....

I don't own Photoshop, it's the real deal whether you think so or not. Come on up and see for yourself.

This shot was taken the day before at pretty much the same location but the camera is looking northeast instead of southwest

This Picture was taken a couple weeks earlier from Danville, VT. It is hard to see from this distance but the was a frosting of snow on the White Mtns (in the background) that day.

Green fields and foliage in the valleys with snow in the mtns. Welcome to fall in Northern New England :spin: :spin:

What's so strange about that? :blink: Really...

b) if I was going to Photoshop it, why would I have bothered with this other one, where I got caught up on a bit of thin cover?
Now we know you're lying. There's no thin cover in that pic! ;)

I can assure you none of my shots are edited other than to possibly crop them to take parts out that don't make the pix look as good as I would like.

If you don't believe me... so be it. You can't call me late for dinner. I make my own. :???:

"That's one small step for a man..." :razz:

Being in Buffalo, we got all you beat with early snowfall. Starting thursday afternoon and ending friday morining we got like 20 inches of wet heavy cement. I stooed outside thursday night during the hardest snowfall and all you could hear was branches cracking and trees coming down. ALL the leaves were on the trees and its estimated that >90% of the trees were damaged. At the height of the damage there were 400,000 peopel w/o power and 80% of roads were impassible due to fallen trees. I had not power from thrusday to monday night. Luckily it never got below 30 at night casue I also lost heat. Some burbs are hopeing to be up by the weekend. It was so bizarre, People were saying it looked like a tornado with all the branches rather than a snow storm Trees branches are piled up on the sides of roads waiting fror crews to pick them up. My street has 100yard sections where the branches are stacked in 8 foot piles. Lots of buisnesses are still closed and lots of schools are cancelled till monday. These links are pictures my friend shot. http://muradov.smugmug.com/gallery/2011144/1 and

The worst part, the snow was so localized that it never touched the ski hills
the second worst part, it's raining and all the snow is gone

After looking at the picture links NPage148 posted I can understand why only "skier addicts" like winter. We do the old "Whoohoo" and they groan and moan. Sucks for them.

Some may remember the October 5, 1987 snowstorm that hit the Northeast. I remember a lot of tree damage as a result of the heavy snow. We had several inches from that and we were living in Trumbull at the time which is not far from L.I. Sound. amazing to get measurable snow that far south that early. My brother was backpacking in the Taconics during that storm. Woke up to a foot of snow on the tent. They had to hike near the CT high point in waist-high drifts...
