Thanks Merg,

Good luck to you and everyone on this forum, and I hope this will be a year of great photography for all of you.

We got 8 inches of new snow last night and this morning I hiked out my front door and promptly fell on my bum on the slick pavement where the county snow plow had created wet ice. I fell twice more on my way out of the subdivision, tumbled into a barbed-wire fence when I tripped on some vines buried under the snow, upended my film bag into the snow, spent so long on one exposure that my 8x10 Wehman was practically a snow drift of its own, and froze various and sundry appendages waiting for the wind to die down enough for a 1/2 second exposure. There was so much snow in my gear and bags that when I got back home, the easiest way to clean it out was with a shop vac.

Darn, it's going to be a great year! Many happy returns to everyone!

Merg, thanks. A happy and health new year to you and your family.

Best new year's wishes to all on the forum too. I'm sitting here in a winter wonderland. The snow is falling and the trees are heavy with snow. I dug a path to the barn and studio but I'm staying in the house for the moment.

Happy New Year to all of you. I enjoy this forum a lot and the people in it. We got gipped last night in that we were supposed to get 10" but got only a dusting. Reverse lake effect is what they call it here....we always get gipped.
