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

[ZapperZ]

Just a reminder that you have less than 2 days left to submit a photo for this contest. With various parts of the world (especially the US) getting snow the last couple of days, I'm sure there are more opportunities now to snap a picture that qualifies for this contest.

I finally got a camera again...woot! So here is a shot I took about 10 minutes ago.

Great! I don't use my camera every day, but I'd be uncomfortable without it. I hope you can replace most of the important stuff that was stolen.

It was 79* here yesterday

Okay, we got some snow yesterday and overnight, so I was able to get a picture this morning before it all melted again. I can't even begin to compete with those who had pretty blankets of snow, because it just wouldn't stick enough to get my meetings canceled today.

This is of my neighbors.

[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. How odd.

The view from my window this morning, taxiing just after landing... During the landing, I couldn't see the runaway's pavement. The snow-covered runway is the faint line in the background.

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!

Nice picture.

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.

 

[ZapperZ]

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.

We have snow but I have no camera.

Can't you steal one?

[Ivan Seeking]

Steal one? From whom; the cows?

 

[mattmns]

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]

Somehow, my entry disappeared, and it doesn't show up on my imageshack page any more. Here it is again. A snowy and very wet red spruce.

Snowed in at Sea-Tac.

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

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).

Yep, what were you presenting? I had to give my dissertation talk.

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.

 

[gravenewworld]

DANG! Too bad I didn't have this photo around for this contest.

This is Oswego, NY

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!
