The snow storm that kept most of the state from doing anything but shoveling this weekend left around mid-day yesterday. As you can see the total accumulation at the Maryland Daily Photquarters was around 18 inches. When it did stop, it seemed as though everyone flew straight outside to clean off their cars and driveways. If I had not been participating in these activities I could have photographed them for you. However, I was unfortunately all too busy cleaning off cars and such. Though, nowhere near as difficult as the task seemed when I was growing up, it was sufficient to remind me that I really don’t think a day of pretty snow is worth the effort to clean it up.
That said, it is fortunate that before the pains of the cleanup, the MDP team was hard at work taking pictures. In fact I ventured out on Saturday in the middle of the worst part of the storm to see what I could find. So why is today’s MDP a picture of the sidewalk that was taken only 10 minutes ago? There will be a processing delay in MDP’s snow coverage. The reason is that I took a film camera into the snow as it is a bit tougher and is better capable of handling the elements than my digital camera. Moreover, despite the fact that it is no longer made, if it should be damaged, it could be replaced for 10% of the replacement value of a comparable digital camera. This means that MDP’s snow coverage will be on a bit of a delay.
