This was taken just south of Derry Cairngorm in the coldest wind you can imagine. Forget adding filters! By the time I got the camera out and framed, my fingers were very numb (can't use the camera with my mitts on). You should try changing lenses with spin-drift flying about most of the time. Waiting for the drift to lie still for 2 seconds (while you get colder and colder) tests your patience - and your nerve ("Nooo!! my camera body is full of snow!!!").
The one big advantage with fresh snow in strong wind is the shapes it appears in.
This crabapple tree has been sitting on my deck in a pretty pot all summer. It will be planted for the winter months....then back on the deck in the Spring!
Thursday was a snow day throughout the Inland Empire! Winds drifted snow across the roadways and brought the windchill temperatures down to subzero levels. Quite a difference from the "balmy" upper 30's and 40's Fahrenheit that we experienced a week ago.
This is the southern fence line of our northern hayfield along the county road. As you can see much of the fence is buried under the snowdrifts from the evening storm.
Thank you for your visits and comments. HFF!
After a storm I walked around a bit here at South Pole and found this interesting little snowdrift. With the South Pole Station in the background it makes for a nice composition.

The Bealach road has been closed for two weeks due to huge snowdrifts and equipment malfunction. It was finally opened yesterday to the delight of locals and tourists alike.
This was taken a couple of weeks back.
The snow has returned yet again (though I'm off with a flu-like cold so am not going out to photograph it this time).
What a winter/spring this is turning out to be!
(Apologies for not doing much commenting, still feeling a bit grotty)
Wherever you look on the South coast of Iceland, there are miles and miles and miles of black volcanic sand beaches. Of course in winter when snow falls, the strong winds combine to drift the snow and create fantastic patterns on the black sand.
Here at Vik, during my last trip in February, I was lucky to capture some of these patterns in the morning before the sun got to and melted them, the sea stacks of Reynisdrangar providing a suitable backdrop.
The early morning light illuminating a fresh snowdrift. The image has been mirrored and copied twice to be symmetrical. The detail is best seen full screen.
This was probably one of the most amazing snowdrifts I have seen. Also known as "sastrugi", these structures form as the snow is built up and eroded by strong winds. As the sun broke the horizon, light added an extra depth to the layers of the sastrugi.
The strong easterly wind kept blowing towards me, and the rising air kept condensing and creating clouds, coming below the ridge and passing over me. I had to time my exposure between these clouds to ensure the view below wasn't obsecured!

A beautiful morning at South Head near Hayfield. I had an early start which was very very cold. The wind chill was incredible but it was well worth it.
Shot from the edge of the Wall looking down at the lake and east over Teton Valley with Mount Wister on the right.
This is a shot I have wanted for a long time. I have taken this shot with horses in it before. Of course I wanted snow on Snowdrift.
This spring the owner of the ranch told us something spooked his horses. Causing them to run through barb wire fence. Four of the horses retuned to the ranch. He was out looking for the other four.
