best laid plans...

As I drove around yesterday in the bright sun, I decided I would spend my vacation day tomorrow taking pictures. I pictured some snowy scenes I wanted to capture in the sun. I figured if it wasn't sunny on wednesday, I could try again this weekend.

Today, the forecast for tomorrow calls for partly cloudy. That will likely mean all cloudy. So what about saturday or sunday? Saturday says high of 35, and a 50% chance of precipitation. That would be rain. Thereby trashing the snow for the rest of the week, at least.

Ugh.

I thought about switching my afternoon off from tomorrow to today, but I had three meetings scheduled. Turns out that two of them were cancelled, and the other wasn't all that important. My only silver lining is that I can still get most of my pictures if it's cloudy.

Just today, I realized I could probably get somebody to fix my ski boot (well enough to use a few times, anyway). But now it sounds like the snow might not stick around. And I'd been starting to make plans for a snow sculpture for Christmas. No chance of that if it rains.

As soon as I start making plans for the snow, it changes - usually around the time I get a chance to enjoy it. And people seem to think I'm joking when I say that I don't want to buy a snowblower because it will stop snowing. I neither want it to stop snowing, nor to spend all that money on something I don't need.

Cloudy would not have been bad for shooting at the bridge and the creek, though I really had envisioned it in sun. Another shot I wanted involved the sun, near sunset. Clouds started creeping in at that time, so I didn't get it. Rain, would definitely not be helpful, since the whole point was to shoot in the snow.

Inspiration is little and far between for me. When I finally have an idea, I want to shoot it. :-)

Get the snowblower anyway. It WILL come in handy! :-)

I was running errands all morning today and was practically blinded by the sun off of the wet street and snow.
Not even sunglasses helped.
I almost turned into a couple of cars I didn't see until the last minute from the glare.
I want the snow gone.
Waaaaaaaaaaah!

Don't worry - the snow is turning gray now. And it's cloudy.
