PF PHOTO CONTEST - Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. (1/5-1/11)

In summary, the contest is to create a picture with snow as the main subject. Any digital photo or digitally-scanned photo relevant to the theme will be accepted within the contest period. Please resize your digital photo to no more than 650 x 490 or 490 x 650 pixels. You may also crop your picture if you wish. But other than that, any form of picture editing or modification is not allowed. This is a photo contest, not a picture editing/special effect contest. You may add a watermark or your name/nickname to the photo for identification purposes. Only ONE picture per member per contest. At the end of the contest period, I will open a poll and every PF member can vote for

Christmas Eve, 2004, Houston Texas. The "snowstorm of the century" (for South Texas, that is). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Christmas_Eve_Snowstorm" [Broken]

[Edit: Thanks to mattmns, I edited your post to have your picture here. This will make less tedious for me when doing the polling thread]

DH, I can't figure out why your img tags aren't working. I thought you forgot to use them and went to edit them in for you, but see they are there. :confused: How odd.

After a slow start, this is going to be one hell of a contest. All the pictures so far are amazing!

One day left to enter, if you dare!

WE HAVE SNOW ON THE GROUND!...


Now all I need is a camera!

As soon as I get home from work... and it gets light...

I will try to get a pic entered.

Keep in mind, people, that just because you get some snow pictures later after this contest, doesn't mean you won't be able to save them for a later contest. We WILL be recycling the themes eventually.

Here is D H's picture

The reason it did not work is because you used the wrong link, you should just use the "Direct link."

[Edit: Thanks mattmns. I've used it in DH's post - Zz]

It's because of this that I got into Newark at 3 AM this morning. :-p

Were you at the AAPT/AAS meeting?
I just left from there Tuesday night. My photo entry was at the landing of the last leg of my return flights (from Sea-Tac via Newark).

I was there giving an AAPT Poster on VPython and an AAPT Oral presentation on a new derivation of the Doppler Effect in Relativity.

By my account (and clock), your picture was submitted AFTER the deadline of this contest. So to be fair to the rest of the participants, it cannot be included in the contest.

I wasn't paying attention to the time over there, the sun is setting here! I was just pleased to have posted an image successfully, albeit one from a moving car... maybe next time.

OK, one more time. This is a reminder to everyone that, if you have a photo that would have qualified in previous contests, KEEP IT! We will be recycling the themes eventually!

Damn GNW! I spent a week there during lake-effect snow days about a decade ago. The snow wasn't close to that deep, but it was VERY impressive, and there was often very little scenery to be seen from the road, apart from the cooling towers at the nuke plant.
