January 14th began with rain first thing, but within an hour, everything outside had turned white, and it was a blizzard. With possible rain later in the day that might have washed the snow away again, I decided not to wait for the snow to stop. I wrapped up in my B3 fleece lined flying jacket and took 'Hope' for a ten mile drive around Washington and Springwell, looking for nice backgrounds. I past queues of commuter traffic going the other way, and got lots of smiles and waves as I stood in the blizzard taking pictures!
