A Glacial Storm.


November 18, 2005. Marquette, Michigan.

The photographer waited until clouds moved off so the snow covered trees could be seen better.

Here again there is no ice. The snow is dense and pristine white. The flowing river shows no ice flows, chucks of frozen ice in this fresh water river. When one looks for the supporting temperature to a snow storm this dense it looks grossly out of place as if this sound be autumn leaf colors and not white.

This snow storm sustained because of the frigid air mass that carried it to lower latitudes alone. The snow was completely percipitation without a prepared surface to receive it. To me this is an extremely odd picture.

There is ice anywhere, with a very dense and pristine snow everywhere except the warmer and flowing river.
