Snow days in the south practically shut everything down. In an insane turn of events, I got four days off of school. Sadly D was out of town and I spent a lot of my time drinking bloody marys and cooking. My favorite thing about having the days off (aside from not having to work) was daylight! I leave so early in the mornings that it's dark, and this time of year it's still dark when I get home. I took full advantage of the daylight and snow by working on my commitment to learn my camera better. I tried to exclusively work in manual mode and practice my skills. By the time we visit Spain in May, I hope to be able to feel confident in using manual most of the time. I'm pretty happy with the snow day snippets I captured (full disclosure: I edited these with my free trial of Lightroom).
I get it. Snow days down here mean two inches of snow, but as a year-round teacher I'll take four days off with no make up days.
I hear ya about the daylight thing! There are many days I never see the sun--especially since my classroom has only 1 tiny window that faces a brick wall. Needless to say, I can't wait for spring! Your pictures look great!
