Winter has Arrived!!

[Chrislaf]

Today we got a blast of snow - our first real snowfall this season. We got between 15 to 30cm (6in to 12in) of snow. The beaver pond that I often go to to watch/photograph the beavers was pretty much frozen over. Just a few days ago on November 27th, it was completely open. I flew my NEO up over the pond to take a few photos and then a snow squall came through.

Here's a photo taken Oct. 16th with NEO.



Here's today Dec. 1st:

It wasn't too bad. The temperature was only around -2C to -3C and there was little wind. When there is wind, the wind chill can make a huge difference. Today it was a bit colder at -6C but the sun was out for part of the day so it doesn't feel that cold.

Here's another shot from tonight that goes along with the winter theme, flown with my old Phantom 3 Standard and shot using a long exposure on my DSLR.
