Snow day #snowpocalypse

We weren’t expecting much snow (if any) this year – but we were pleasantly surprised by a nice covering of snow yesterday afternoon.

Rough estimate, I’d say we received 2-3 inches in our neck of the woods — perhaps more in some areas.

I shot some video of the #snowpocalypse on my Flip Ultra HD and then Laurie also shot some video on her iPhone 4. It was interesting to see the contrast in how each camera handled the white balance.

See for yourself…

Makes me wonder how much longer we’ll keep carrying around video cameras and such alongside our phones

waiting on the snow

well it’s 2:42 p.m. and there’s a “winter storm brewing” in the area.

Our office was told at 1:50 or so that we would probably shut things down at 2 p.m. today. Lots of people left. I waited until I heard official word and it was bumped to 3 p.m. Doesn’t matter too much though – the last bus headed towards Glenn Heights left downtown at 1:55 and the next one doesn’t get here till 3:15.

Oh well, at least I don’t have to drive home in it. Otherwise I can stick around and wait for Laurie to get off work and drive the two of us home instead.

Maybe we’ll have some fun in the snow tonight. Or just chill like a normal Thursday night. We’ll wait and see.
