Getting ready to roll the camera rig for the Hallmark Movie of the Week THEN AGAIN.
TOAST Downfilled Snow Skirts saved the day and kept everyone warm.
I finally put my hands on xf16mmf1.4 r wr. This is one of the first pictures I took with it. I decided I'll be shooting mainly with this lens for some time so I can be sure if I want to keep it or not since it's quite expensive. The first thought is that it's staying with me but we'll see how things go in practice :)
11.13.2015: This is some of the outerwear that I use in the winter. The fuzzy stuff comes out when it's not raining but cold. I use the hand/arm warmers all the time. And like using a colorful scarf to offset my mostly black wardrobe. And, of course, it's boot weather so I'm happily wearing those now. I like the colder weather but don't like feeling cold. Bundling up is the best!

Goulburn in southern NSW rarely sees snow, but this year there were three falls. This final one happened in mid September, and was not predicted. These images were taken almost three hours after the snow stopped falling, and had already lost it's intensity on the ground.

Serrian Land Defense Force (LDF) soldier on patrol in the snowy outskirts of Port Serrat. Patrols were stepped up despite the weather due to intelligence indicating that several members of a known terrorist outfit are headed north through the Dougga Straits towards Port Serrat. An ISS team had attempted unsuccessfully to intercept the terrorists in the warehouse district of Cap Calamari earlier in the week.
After nearly two straight weeks of sub-freezing temperatures, the Chicago River looked gorgeous as ever.

This new arctic suit was bought second hand online and looks 'never worn'. It is labelled Canadian Arctic Program!
We don't have any use for it really, other than making silly photos when we think it is 'cold'. It is cozy warm inside this suit!
The suit is quite heavy and cumbersome. It doesn't need hanging; it is so thick that it stands on its own! :)

Overall, for some Aussies, myself included, <20°C feels 'cold'.
Looking forward to longer days and warmer weather.
And, in summer, we'll all be complaining about the heat and wish for a cooler weather.
There's a great Aussie poem about changing weather.
Said Hanrahan by John O'Brien
“We’ll all be rooned, said Hanrahan,
In accents most forlorn,
Outside the church, ere Mass began,
One frosty Sunday morn.
The congregation stood about,
Coat-collars to the ears,
And talked of stock, and crops, and drought,
As it had done for years.
“It’s looking crook,” said Daniel Croke;
“Bedad, it’s cruke, me lad,
For never since the banks went broke
Has seasons been so bad.”
“It’s dry, all right,” said young O’Neil,
With which astute remark
He squatted down upon his heel
And chewed a piece of bark.
And so around the chorus ran
“It’s keepin’ dry, no doubt.”
“We’ll all be rooned,” said Hanrahan,
“Before the year is out.”
“The crops are done; ye’ll have your work
To save one bag of grain;
From here way out to Back-o’-Bourke
They’re singin’ out for rain.
“They’re singin’ out for rain,” he said,
“And all the tanks are dry.”
The congregation scratched its head,
And gazed around the sky.
“There won’t be grass, in any case,
Enough to feed an ass;
There’s not a blade on Casey’s place
As I came down to Mass.”
“If rain don’t come this month,” said Dan,
And cleared his throat to speak —
“We’ll all be rooned,” said Hanrahan,
“If rain don’t come this week.”
A heavy silence seemed to steal
On all at this remark;
And each man squatted on his heel,
And chewed a piece of bark.
“We want an inch of rain, we do,”
O’Neil observed at last;
But Croke “maintained” we wanted two
To put the danger past.
“If we don’t get three inches, man,
Or four to break this drought,
We’ll all be rooned,” said Hanrahan,
“Before the year is out.”
In God’s good time down came the rain;
And all the afternoon
On iron roof and window-pane
It drummed a homely tune.
And through the night it pattered still,
And lightsome, gladsome elves
On dripping spout and window-sill
Kept talking to themselves.
It pelted, pelted all day long,
A-singing at its work,
Till every heart took up the song
Way out to Back-o’-Bourke.
And every creek a banker ran,
And dams filled overtop;
“We’ll all be rooned,” said Hanrahan,
“If this rain doesn’t stop.”
And stop it did, in God’s good time;
And spring came in to fold
A mantle o’er the hills sublime
Of green and pink and gold.
And days went by on dancing feet,
With harvest-hopes immense,
And laughing eyes beheld the wheat
Nid-nodding o’er the fence.
And, oh, the smiles on every face,
As happy lad and lass
Through grass knee-deep on Casey’s place
Went riding down to Mass.
While round the church in clothes genteel
Discoursed the men of mark,
And each man squatted on his heel,
And chewed his piece of bark.
“There’ll be bush-fires for sure, me man,
There will, without a doubt;
We’ll all be rooned,” said Hanrahan,
“Before the year is out.”
Ahem >>> climate change ...
rooned = Irish, ruined
Bedad = Irish, expression of surprise
Back ‘o’ Bourke = Aussie slang/informal, remote, inaccessible and a bit backward, place.
(Bourke is a historic country town in New South Wales, population about 2,400. With much better infrastructure and transport it is not that remote anymore and certainly not ‘backward’. From Sydney about 760km, 8 – 9 hours by car).

Downtown Detroit 2008.
My company has a policy of every employee gets a holiday when it snows...how great is that? I'm the only employee though, and this policy was born a few years ago after I left a customer's house when a snow commenced and it took me 2 hours to drive about 10 miles home due to the panic stricken drivers crapping up the road. So now I leave all that chaos to them and I slip out somewhere more remote after the wrecks and abandoned vehicles are corralled.
I rarely go up here to the star but started picture taking play-time here this morning, a rather treacherous icy ride up the drive in my 2WD car but at least it kept everyone else away so I had the platform all to myself at sunrise. The star is cut off at midnight and all of the photos I have seen were illuminated, I sort of like it better off. Thought it looked cool with the sunrise glow in the background, this is but a single image with little done more than clarity and some vibrance. The orange glow is painting from the nearby tower's flashing light.
Took lots of snow pics today so will post them later.
I want to thank all my flickr friends for your kindness this year, and especially to my "sisters" for your support, encouragement and affection. xo
It was gloomy, damp, and cold, but the overcast sky helped even out the afternoon light. The hand warming portable batteries my family got me for Christmas helped a lot.
