The National Weather Service measured 8 inches of snow in Waves. It was relatively unusual, and it seems in the last 50 years, we\u2019ve had a similar event about every 10 or 12 years. I\u2019ve seen \u00a0snowfall amounts a couple times, as much as a foot deep.<\/p>\n

This recent storm was fun and visually stimulating. Although blowing a gale, temperatures never dropped much below freezing. It was exhilarating to be the first person to make footprints toward the beach near my home.<\/p>\n

Never whiteout conditions, the snowfall was moderate yet lasted nearly 20 hours.<\/p>\n

The dunes can be a treasure trove of possibilities for a camera.<\/p>\n

While the tendency is to shoot horizontally, vertical compositions can be just as effective.<\/p>\n

What the environment has in store for its next show is anyones guess!<\/p>\n
