U'ld think it was winter or something

The temperature outside is a touch below freezing right now, and it's snowing. Grand Forks, and it seems about a third of the whole damn province, is under a snow warning; 10-20cm expected to fall overnight (that's 4-8 inches for those of U that don't speak metric) with an extra 10cm expected at elevation. And that's just to start. By mid week, our local daytime high is supposed to be about -15C (about 5 degrees Fahrenheit).

The pic was shot on a nice warm summer night, at the Jewel Lake Resort. f5.6 for 15 minutes at the 28mm end of my zoom, recorded on ASA200 Fuji Superia.

*edit: 8:30pm, I just cleared 3-4cm off of the deck, that much less to clear tomorrow morning.*

Jewel Lake

I'm going fishing with my grandpa this weekend at Jewel Lake -- well, one of the hundreds of Jewel Lakes I assume are scattered around, this one's all of about an hour's drive away. I took this shot of the place last Septembre, just as the sun was coming up behind the mountains. I'm looking forward to going (and to spending some quality time with shot once I get that damned scanner), the old man needs a bit of rest from work, and things are only going to get more hectic as things start to cool down as people start using their furnaces again.

We'll probably leave Friday, around noon. I might post again before that, if anything tickles my fancy, but no promises.
