First Real Snow In Duluth - 2005
It finally dumped on us, but it was still less than a foot. Pretty wimpy compared to what they just got out West the last two weeks. The strange thing is that the City of Duluth plow crew is on some sort of de-facto strike, or more accurately in a protest over something. Hardly any streets got plowed today, and my street still isn't plowed (8:00 AM, January 13: which is 28+ hours after the snow started). I heard reports on the radio earlier that City of Duluth plows were out driving around with their blades up. Hmm. As Isaac Asimov said in his Foundation Series, "The cracks in the Empire are showing."
January 12, 2005
Here is a "flash" photo, showing how static and 2-dimensional it looks. Here is a "warm" flash photo at 1/60th of a second, with an ISO of 800 and some "warmth" in the photo to make it more realistic...

(Above) For those of you who have seen photos of "Orbs" as they call them, here they are. Look here...a digital camera catches snow, rain and even fog as out-of-focus "orbs". It is nothing more than that, despite some really weird claims.

(Left) is a closeup of one of the "orbs," otherwise known as a snowflake. (Below) is another closeup of several of these "orbs." They are just snow, and not angels or ghosts or beings from a different dimension or anything.
