The cold temperatures just keep coming to this part of Western New York. Lows the next few nights are forecast to be near or below zero fahrenheit.

Rochester, NY
We're setting records for freezing temperatures in these parts. I don't venture far from the woodstove, and carry a spare battery in the truck (just in case I need to jump-start myself). But it bodes well for spring--that perhaps the dogs won't be pestered by fleas when the rains begin. A freeze like we're getting drives them deep below ground.
Southeastern Ontario acquired several centimetres of snow April 20 and 21 and below freezing temperatures but Spring has sprung so this will rapidly disappear.
Alpinia purpurata, red ginger, also called ostrich plume and pink cone ginger, are native Malaysian plants with showy flowers on long brightly colored red bracts. They look like the bloom, but the true flower is the small white flower on top. It has cultivars called Jungle King and Jungle Queen. Red Ginger grows in Hawaii, Trinidad, Grenada, St. Lucia, Panama, Dominica, St. Vincent, Martinique, Jamaica, Guadeloupe, Puerto Rico, Suriname (where its Dutch name is 'bokkepoot', billy-goat's foot), and many Central American nations, including Belize. It is also found in Samoa, where it is the national flower, and is locally called teuila. Red ginger can also be grown in South Florida since, in general, the region does not fall below freezing temperatures. It prefers partial shade and moist humid conditions, although it can tolerate full sun in some climates. It tends to like to be well watered and not left to dry out. Red ginger can also be grown as a houseplant and its cut flowers can be used in arrangements. Red ginger tends to spread. 23113
I returned from Singapore to find England plunged back into winter - freezing temperatures and snow. It wasn't the amount of snow, it was the fact it was drifting...
Most roads near us were closed due to the drifting snow. Getting back from the airport was an interesting problem, made worse by jetlag and a 17 hour flight after a full days work...
I do love the snow, minus 2 and everything white seems better than a humid 35 degrees in the tropics.
A sunny cold day at Sawpit Bay on eastern Lake Superior- -about 80 km north of Sault Ste. Marie Ontario.
Fast ice is an extensive unbroken sheet of ice that is “fastened” to the shoreline or shoals; the ice forms from freezing temperatures (air and water), waves, drift ice, and snowfall. The fast ice at Sawpit Bay is about a meter thick.
Last night we experienced below freezing temperatures here. Never the less, I wanted to revisit the Bayonne bridge for another go. I was thinking of a vertical panoramic image. The cold and the wind changed my mind rather quickly!
The sun smiled on Vancouver after a few days of snow and freezing temperature. The Rockies too came out to highline the city in the new year...
Finally some moths for 2021! What seems to have been the first night up here without either torrential rain or freezing temperatures.
The title says it all. After a dark, cold winter, it is nice to have some sunny days with not so freezing temperatures.
I realized over the summer when it was day after day of cloudless blue skies that there's really nothing interesting about it to me. I guess it's just hard for me to see something beautiful with such a distraction above. Instead of being the star or even a complimentary piece in the frame, the sky ends up being a void and it puts a lot more importance on the foreground. At least that's how I see it. I simply can't imagine too many scenarios where a cloudy sky would ruin the photo, even if I'm shooting a famous landmark or landscape.
During my long, 4,000 mile drive here back in mid december, the weather was pretty terrible. It was completely overcast or cloudy everyday (which was obviously a huge bonus) but steady winds in the 30-45mph range for days and freezing temperatures made things really difficult. In my head, I just kept trying to be thankful I had amazingly dramatic skies the entire time. I almost skipped the Petrified Forest in Arizona because of the cold and wind which would've been an enormous mistake since the clouds moving quickly over the land one of the most memorable things I've witnessed. Still, I imagine i would've been less enthusiastic about the visit there if the skies were blue and empty.
I went out intermittently over the summer months, usually only when the forecast suggested at least a few clouds. It was really hot and to drive an hour for a hazy sky just seemed like a waste. A few times when the clouds vanished before I arrived, I at least tried to salvage the trips with some daytime work with the 10 stop ND filter. I even hiked a few miles in 100 degree heat with all my gear hoping a waterfall would hold...water. it did not. The months away from shooting allowed me to go through my archives which I always love doing and work on my post, but it's hard to turn off the desire to shoot for a long period of time. When the weather began to cool off more and it seemed like Fall was close, the forecast finally called for a few days of cloudy skies at all the locations I've gotten used to here in Southern California. I chose Venice for that first real cloudy day and it was perfect. Great weather, the closest legal FREE parking space to where I go and a large colorful and cloudy sunset. Venice is really my absolute favorite place to shoot with a cloudy sky for a variety of reasons and the great night Monday brought me back the following night.
This was not too long after arriving and the very overcast sky made it get darker a bit faster than I had hoped. I spent the majority of the shoot trying to get panoramas lined up and people wandering through the very wet and shiny reflective shoreline while the sun set. The yellow-orange hue shifted with the setting sun to an orange-red and with it, the blue-gray sky shifted to a grayish purple. I can't say I moved more than 15ft in any direction that evening either. I had the sunset in this direction, the reflections of the homes along the boardwalk behind me and to the left, the pier and the planes flying above. I didn't see anyone the last hour I was there except for 2 weirdos who thought I was Jeff...their drone pilot. I don't think Jeff every showed up. Bummer.

We've had freezing temperatures & quite a bit of snow over the past couple of days, a nice change from rain & mud! The girls love it, even though the little ones almost became snowballs :) they wear coats for a reason lol.
For the first time in just under 50 years, a scheduled steam service replaced the normal diesels. To mark the reopening of the Settle to Carlisle line (closed for a year due to a huge land slip north of Appleby), Northern Rail ran three days of a steam hauled service between Skipton and Appleby. Such is the love of steam, 50 years after it was withdrawn from the main line that it proved to be a huge success. All trains were full (5,500 people travelled on this limited service over the three days) , all stations were crowded and all vantage points were overflowing despite the usual wind, rain and freezing temperatures.
The loco selected to haul the 12 trains was "new build" A1 Class 60163 "Tornado" seen here crossing The Dandry Mire Viaduct at Garsdale Head just after leaving Garsdale Station with the 10.44am from Skipton to Appleby.
This view was brought to you by hiking up a cliff, in the rain, at near freezing temperatures, in the total darkness of a moonless night. Things you should always carry: at least 4 liters of water, a map of Antarctica (because you'd never want to be lost there), and a flashlight.
Edit. removed the cutline from the scene.

I don't know how thse little birds survive the hostile coastline in winter. Winds, waves, snow and freezing temperatures this week.
The gorgeous Alex Cameron came to visit me in the Peaks, and for some reason everytime she does we end up getting naked in freezing temperatures. This was shot by her, edited by me!

After several days of sub-freezing temperatures, I like to check out this creek, because generally it has some shallow, thus frozen, water near the edges. Here I found frozen bubbles. This little scene is smaller than it looks, probably two inches across or a bit less.
We haven't been above freezing since sometime Saturday (unless we made it briefly today--a high of 34 was predicted, and I don't know if we got there; for those of you who use Celsius, 32 is the equivalent of zero) and we aren't supposed to make it there till Monday, with a brief exception this afternoon. I made one visit to the state park with a waterfall (solidly frozen) and have also checked out the creek outside my home and creeks at three other local locations, so I have quite a few photos already uploaded and more to come.
I've put a video in the comments of "live" moving bubbles that give some idea of how these frozen bubbles form.
With a forecast of snow on Friday night and freezing temperatures, I figured Saturday morning would be the right time to try my luck at a sunrise on Dartmoor. So I got up at 05:30, set off at 06:00 and arrived at 08:00. Sadly there wasn't as much snow as I had hoped and as the sun rose through a thin gap in the clouds, I was stuck in some traffic lights at Princetown unable to get the shots I wanted!
I ended up having a great few hours driving about a frosty Dartmoor, but didn't get anything I had hoped for.
These snow coated Beech trees were what I shot at sunrise, as they caught my eye whilst driving past. It was quite tricky to get into a position that wasn't obscured in some way, so I was happy this came out pretty much as hoped. Not what I planned, but an image I am quite happy with. More to follow.
Pyper has decided she has had enough of winter, thank you very much. Sure, we live in Canada, so should be used to snow and ice and freezing temperatures, and I know there are those who have more snow and ice and colder temperatures than us, but enough is enough Mother Nature. I mean, when your legs are only 5 inches tall, and the snow is 18" deep, well, you can see the problem. Pyper's world in our backyard has been reduced to two small paths I have shovelled for her to do her 'business' in, except now the snow is getting deeper and deeper they are more like tunnels. Every once in awhile she decides to make a break for it and leaps out of the tunnel and attempts to run across the yard (usually after Lucy), but she only makes it one or two leaps before she realises she is over her head, so she turns back and wallows her way back to the shovelled part. By that time she is caked in snow and looking miserable. For this picture, she is in the path, standing on her back legs looking at me over the snow. Needless to say, we are counting the days until spring.

New Commissioner Rene Gonzalez bans Portland Street Response from distributing tents
By Alex Zielinski (OPB)
PORTLAND, Ore. Feb. 15, 2023 11:35 a.m.
With a forecast of near-freezing temperatures and heavy rain on the horizon, the city of Portland’s homelessness first response team has been ordered to stop distributing tents to people sleeping outside.
The announcement comes from Portland’s newest city commissioner, Rene Gonzalez, who oversees Portland Street Response, the burgeoning first response team focused on people experiencing homelessness or mental health issues
In a press release sent Tuesday evening, Gonzalez said he has ordered all bureaus he oversees to temporarily suspend the distribution of both tents and tarps to members of the public. This includes the Portland Fire Bureau, which houses Portland Street Response
Portland Street Response will not be barred from distributing sleeping bags and blankets under Gonzalez’s order.
Gonzalez’s announcement comes during a cold snap that has brought small amounts of snow and freezing temperatures to the Portland region. The National Weather Service forecasts below-freezing temperatures in the next three days, followed by heavy rain. For many sleeping outside, tents and tarps are the best form of protection from cold winds and rain.
Multnomah County’s public warming shelters are currently closed. And the number of standard shelter beds available for unhoused Portlanders remains inadequate. In 2022, the county’s homeless population was estimated to be more than 5,200, while the county currently hosts a total of 2,000 shelter beds.
Gonzalez did not respond to OPB’s request to explain how homeless Portlanders should protect themselves from the elements….

Likely our last paddle as ice is rapidly forming now during extreme below freezing temperature. We had to "hug" our wonderful canoe location south of the Lost Villages, Long Sault, Ontario, on the St. Lawrence River.
Europe shivers as a cold front sweeps in from Siberia, Russia, bringing freezing temperatures to the continent. This chilly snap is being dubbed as the Beast from the East.
The frigid grip is casting its icy spell on the Alps, one of Europe’s main ski destinations. Skiing lovers are coming to grips with temperatures of between –15°C and –25°C.
This image shows the Alpine region with its snow-capped tops. ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst took it from the International Space Station during his first mission in 2014 with the comment: “Clouds getting sucked into a valley on the Northern side of the European Alps.”
Photography is a favourite pastime for astronauts when they are not running scientific research or maintaining the Station. From the European-built Cupola observatory, Alexander had a privileged vantage point 400 km above our planet.
During that first stay in orbit he took thousands of images of Earth to observe our planet from a unique angle and share them with the public.
Alexander is eager to return to the Station in June 2018, for his science-packed ‘Horizons’ second mission.
Many of the experiments will take place in the Columbus laboratory. The first and only European module dedicated to long-term research in weightlessness recently achieved 10 years in orbit.

The Torridon range is a beautiful area of Scotland with a very wild feel to it. I had the pleasure of witnessing two beautiful sunrises in freezing temperatures. This is the first of the two mornings, with a magnificent pink reflection in the sky and frozen loch.
Would be interested, amongst other, to hear your preference.

This picture was taken Saturday morning when everything was white of the frost and snow. I just wanted to put my skates on when I saw this attractive path. It was about 10 degrees below zero. The beautiful whitesnow without footprint. Dont you just love walking on a fresh patch of snow, the feel and crunching of the snow under your feet? I follow the path. It is white and quiet. The sound is absorbed by a thick layer of snow. It's really quiet and beautiful. The power of the sun release the ripe of the branches and swirls down like snow. Hoar frost refers to the white ice crystals, loosely deposited on the ground or exposed objects, that form on cold clear nights when heat losses into the open skies cause objects to become colder than the surrounding air. Hoar frost can form in these areas even when the air temperature a few feet above ground is well above freezing. Nonetheless the frost itself will be at or below the freezing temperature of water. Air hoar is a deposit of hoar frost on objects above the surface, such as tree branches and plant stems like here above. The frost at the sunny side will usually melts during the day. I look around and see the trees with blue sky as background. The image of the frost is best to do justice with the blue background and backlit of the sun. I'm standing in a winter's paradise. I also know that all this will disappear soon. Fortunately, I can capture it all on film.
Photo of hoar frost on a weeping willow taken in the park de Weeren in Amsterdam. I love walking in the wintry forest when it is crisp, clear and cold. Feels invigorating and energizing. I love the cold air on my face - it's exhilarating. My favorite part of walking in the wintertime is finishing with a hot coffee or Irish coffee and enjoying getting warm again.
Deze foto is zaterdagmorgen gemaakt toen alles wit was van de rijp en sneeuw. Ik wilde mijn schaatsen net aan doen toen ik deze prachtige witte treurwilg zag. Het was zo’n 10 graden onder nul. De sneeuw zo maagdelijk wit is zonder voetstappen natuurlijk het mooist. Ik volg het pad. Het is wit en stil. Het geluid wordt geabsorbeerd door een dik pak sneeuw. Het is hier echt muisstil. Ik hoor alleen de verse sneeuw onder mijn voetzolen knarsen. Dit alles is zo mooi. De kracht van de zon doet de rijp los laten van de takken zodat dit als sneeuw neer dwarrelt. Normale lucht bevat, afhankelijk van de temperatuur en druk, een zekere mate van waterdamp. Bij afkoeling van verzadigde lucht zal condensatie plaatsvinden. Door dit proces ontstaan er wolken opstijgende lucht koelt af. Als de verzadigde lucht verder afkoelt tot onder de nul graden dan ontstaan er ijskristallen. Sneeuwkristallen kunnen ook ten gevolge van rijp ontstaan. Dit doet zich met name voor tijdens heldere nachten. Aan de sneeuwoppervlakte ontstaan dan rijplaag. Aan de zonzijde smelt het rijp meestal overdag weer. Ik kijk omheen en zie de bomen met een blauwe hemel als achtergrond. Het beeld van de rijp komt het best tot z'n recht met deze blauwe achtergrond en tegenlicht van de zon. Ik ben verzeild in een winter's paradijs. Ik weet ook dat dit alles weer zal verdwijnen. Gelukkig kan ik alles vastleggen op gevoelige plaat.
In reality, it was as far from serenity as could possibly be imagined, with howling winds and the odd spot of rain. Coupled with the freezing temperatures made for a fairly bracing experience.
I think it was worth the effort though...

HAPPY BLUE MONDAY!
The night before had seen very high winds and freezing temperatures. The river in the morning seemed to look like it was suffering a hangover.
I risked immediate frostbite to get out of the warm car for this shot! The seabreeze added to the already freezing temperature...making it forehead numbing cold!
SNOW TRAIN - THE GOODS MUST GET THROUGH
Volunteers of the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway showed their true mettle when heavy snow and freezing temperatures threatened their Spring Steam Gala. All volunteers battled with treacherous road conditions to reach the Worth Valley Railway in order to defrost frozen points, clear snow away from station platforms and grit car parks to allow the locomotive and train crews run the planned timetable. On Saturday 11th March 2023 a demonstration freight train was opersted, seen here climbing towards Oakworth, headed by LMS 'Black Five' locomotive 45212.
Captain Suresh Sharma's Taurus is an amazing beast. It anchors in some of the remotest & most photogenic outdoor locations & gives opportunities to shoot some spectacular landscapes.
We camped for two days on a flat table land ensconced amidst the mighty snow capped Himalayas & the Spiti river for two days at this location. The scathing winds would make the sub freezing temperatures a bit more challenging to be out late shooting but a hot mug of "Chaai" & snacks served by Captain, did make the ordeal that much easier. Thanks to our accustomed routine comforts of life, sleeping in the tents above Taurus roof can be a test initially but then the adrenaline throbbing through your veins takes over.
The Milky Way visible easily in these dark sky regions looms overhead early at twilight & ebbs around 2200 hours in October but the real show begins once the moon rises & bathes the snow-capped mountains in pearly white. There is a stillness in the night that your city cacaphony deafened ears yearn for. The rugged Himalayas which look menacing during the day, turn angelic in the ivory white robes. The sky sprinkled with a billion or more of stars, glowing many a million light-years away, makes you remove your gloves for your seemingly frost bitten fingers to press the shutter one more time.
Time stops here.
Thank you Capt Suresh Sharma & Taurus for everything.
Train 5176 crosses the North Branch of the Raritan River at North Branch, NJ. Days upon days of below freezing temperatures in Northern New Jersey have caused the calm waters of the river to begin freezing over.

A very light layer of fresh snow came down last night, after several weeks of above freezing temperatures and rain.At this time of the year, there should be snow and ice everywhere.
The Voralpsee in winter. I went there to see if I can get a nice shot. Beside freezing temperature, it was very nice and quiet. I like the combination of the fog on the mountains and the clear sky.
So, with the above-freezing temperatures, the snow on the ground and the recent rains, conditions here are more like late March rather than late January. The conditions have produced plenty of fog along with lots of striations on the ice, like here on Baiers Lake in Goose Island Park, La Crosse County, Wisconsin.
NS local C03, Canton to Mansfield job, passes the large elevators in, you guessed it, Mansfield, OH. Both units have lettering under the cabs saying they are assigned to Canton for Freezer Beater service, which is a plug-in heating system that allows the locomotive to be shutdown in below freezing temperatures without fear of the cooling water freezing. The blue receptacle for plugging the unit in can be seen just ahead of the fuel tank.
After the freezing temperatures the prior week, this past week was 4 days of heavy rains. I stopped by Lakeside Park to capture some photos. Normally I would pass that bench to get to a small dock. But high water kept me at bay,
I'm back home from a fantastic 8 days in Yellowstone National Park. It did feel, however, like the park went straight from summer to winter, with no real autumn to speak of. Temperatures were in the teens and it snowed more than once while I was there. I loved it all.
This is an image of Old Faithful shortly after it finished erupting. There is usually still quite a bit of steam issuing forth from the vent, and the freezing temperatures enhanced the amount of steam I viewed.
I can never tire of watching Old Faithful erupt. I sometimes wonder if the people who view the geysers, hot springs, fumeroles, and mudpots really realize just how thin the crust is in this geologically-active area and how unbelievably hot and dangerous these sights are. I suppose that the idiot who drunkenly wandered off the boardwalk one night and fell into or against a geyser, sustaining serious burns, found this out the hard way. There's a reason they have those "stay on the boardwalk" signs around there.

What happens to Robins in the winter?
In the winter, they become nomadic, searching widely for their favorite cold-weather fare. Weather also influences robin movements. A heavy snowfall that persists for more than a few days may send them on their way, searching for better conditions. Robins also form flocks in the winter.
Can Robins survive snow?
Even in freezing temperatures, robins can stay warm enough to make staying through the winter worthwhile. ... If you want to observe robins in winter, try putting out water for them. They can survive on their own by eating snow, but birds always welcome a source of unfrozen water for drinking and bathing.
What do Robins eat when there is snow on the ground?
There isn't much one can feed robins in the winter. They're very adept at finding their preferred food and rarely visit feeding stations. During severe weather, robins may eat raisins, berries, or pieces of apples placed on the ground.
Do robins sing all day?
We know that robins are one of the first species to begin singing every morning. ... They sing the most early in the morning and at evening twilight after sunset. They sing the least around noon. We thought we could figure out approximately how many songs they sing each hour through the day, and add these up.
What is the sound of a robin singing?
It's a string of 10 or so clear whistles assembled from a few often-repeated syllables, and often described as cheerily, cheer up, cheer up, cheerily, cheer up. The syllables rise and fall in pitch but are delivered at a steady rhythm, with a pause before the bird begins singing again. At dawn, the song is more rapid.
Why do robins sing in winter?
The sound of a robin chirping in winter is a good sign, say scientists. It means the bird has built up enough fat reserves to survive the cold nights and has enough energy left to defend its territory. The bird traditionally sings in spring to attract a mate but in winter, when food is short, it faces a dilemma.

"Radiation frost (also called hoar frost or hoarfrost) refers to the white ice crystals, loosely deposited on the ground or exposed objects, that form on cold clear nights when heat losses into the open skies cause objects to become colder than the surrounding air. Hoar frost can form in areas even when the air temperature a few
feet above ground is well above freezing. Nonetheless the frost itself will be at or below the freezing temperature of water. Hoar frost may have different names depending on where it forms. For example, air hoar is a deposit of hoar frost on objects above the surface, such as tree branches, plant stems, wires; surface hoar is formed by fernlike ice crystals directly deposited on snow, ice or already frozen surfaces; crevasse hoar consists in crystals that form in glacial crevasses where water vapour can accumulate under calm weather conditions; depth hoar refers to cup shaped, faceted crystals formed within dry snow, beneath the surface."

These crazy hawks were at it again this morning despite bitter, sub-freezing temperatures. The positions Mom chose presented some challenges with angles and lighting from a photography standpoint. I tinkered a little more with the editing than I usually do. But it's good to have more confirmation of their dedication to propagation. This one, the first, is on the front ledge of the Franklin Institute.
