Winter Storm 2003

Just after New Year's in 2003 we had a massive ice storm followed by a lot of snow. After two days the sun came out leaving some incredible winter scenes. The pictures look good, but pale in comparison to the real thing.

Suggestions are welcome - just send me an email.

Winter on Nanticoke Road

After a big ice storm, followed by lots of snow, we had a beautiful clear, sunny day with lots of great photos. This was shot on Nanticoke Road at the corner of Old Nanticoke Road (near Corson) in Broome County, NY. If you're interested, you can compare this with an autumn 2007 photo from the same location.
