Snowmageddon Time Lapse

1,687 pictures taken from my front porch. The battery would crap out every three hours-n-change, then take two hours to charge, so unfortunately it's not the whole blizzard. Still kind of fun.

Go for it!

That poor guy across the street painstakingly shoveling. You should loop the "King of the Hill" theme over this. ;)

As an electrician, I couldn't help but watch the power line above the driveway slowly sag under the weight of the snow. ;)

You know, watching that guy reminds me of the time my flatmate and I stood and watched one of our neighbours moving out across the street. It was torrential rain, thunder, lightning. We just stood, watching, eating Pringles. When he slipped and fell and broke his 30 inch telly, oh, how we laughed..

I know. We're bad.

It's one thing to shovel out from snow - that's ultimately a necessity. It's another thing entirely to try and move in a thunderstorm. That's silly.

Heh, it occurred to me.

We did lose cable/Internet at the height of the storm, but fortunately we kept the power.

That was really awesome. I too was fasincated by your neighbor as he tried to dig out. Good job!

It's a compelling effect; that's why I'm such a big fan of time-lapse. You can appreciate how small changes over time add up to the end result.

It's crazy! These are supposed to be once in 25 year storms, and we've had two of them in as many months, on top of a few smaller snowfalls.

Fascinating to watch. Nicely done!

Hey, can we have some of that snow back, over here in Washington State? We've had way too little this winter while you've had way too much, and Andrew's already been worrying aloud about a drought this summer, with no snowmelt running off the mountains to fill the reservoirs.

If we could find a way to ship it, I have no doubts that the people around here would be more than happy to do so. We've had enough.
