I went for a quick walk this morning to see what I could see.  The snow was so wet and heavy and the temperature rising so quickly that you almost needed a hard hat while walking.  My entire walk was accompanied by the constant “ting ting ting” of snow falling,  sometimes in large chunks but mostly in small bits.  It was a perfect bluebird sky day following an epic October storm.  Here are a few shots.

I was lucky to get out for a couple early mornings this week to get some shots around town.  Sunrises on clear autumn mornings are spectacular around here.  On Friday morning, as I was trying to yank open my frozen car door, I looked over to the ridge and saw that it was frozen, encrusted in ice and snow. I grabbed my camera and went out to get a few shots of this super cool view.  Even during the hour that I was photographing the ridge, the ice was receding, and by the end of the day it looked completely normal again.

Apparently that was only a precursor, because as I look outside now, snow is falling at a steady rate.  We’re supposed to get almost a foot by tomorrow, so it should make for some interesting “winter slams into fall” photography.

Wednesday morning – Sunrise in New Paltz

Friday morning – Ice encrusted ridge and Sky Top
