Winter Storm Stella

Winter Storm Stella - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
Winter Storm Stella – Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Prior to March 14th 2017 Harrisburg Pennsylvania was on track to have the least snowiest winter in all of the years of recorded weather.  But winter storm Stella had something to say that.  I’m not entirely sure when or why we started naming storms, but whatever, Stella dropped 17 inches of fresh pow on most of the keystone state.  I chose not to go out and photograph too much.  I decided instead to sit inside with hot drinks and watch the snow fall, horizontally at times; the snow, not me.  But I did manage to make a few photos that I like.  A pair from when my brother was shoveling a space the backyard for the dog, and a couple shots of the landscape.

 I chose not to go out and photograph too much.  I decided instead to sit inside with hot drinks and watch the snow fall, horizontally at times; the snow, not me.  But I did manage to make a few photos that I like.  A pair from when my brother was shoveling a space in the backyard for the dog, and a couple shots of the snow draped landscape.  Maybe next winter we’ll get more snow, and I’ll take more photos of it.  Until then I’m content with the reset the snow provided.  It never feels right when a winter goes by without a significant snow.
