Ended up shoveling snow twice today. It looks like we might have gotten 6 inches/15 cm of snow in a 5 hour stretch. It was cold enough I developed icicles on my facial hair.

The forecast claims we're due for roughly the same amount on Sunday. At least on Sunday we don't need to go anywhere by car and can take our time with the shoveling.

Falling Softly - a beautiful evening at Twin Lakes here in the Pocono Mountains. The silent landscape and the magic of snow falling on the frozen lake. ❤️ ❤️

A favorite photo of mine taken in a snowstorm and couldn't see a thing. So I just let all the rules go and shot it the way it was. Solarized during processing.

We had a bit of snow over the weekend (roughly a foot? on top of what was already down), and then two days of winds gusting as high as 25 mph (guess). The snow pack is blue-ish and topped with waves. It's reached the point where we'll need to use snow shoes to walk in it.

Picture of a snow-covered yard, with some trees in the background. The snow has waves in it from the intense wind. A wrapped fig tree is visible in the background.

Yosemite Chapel Portrait

This shot was captured during a break in a winter snowstorm in Yosemite Valley. It had snowed most of the night and was still snowing when I awoke.
The Chapel is the oldest building in Yosemite Valley being built in 1879. It's original location was the "Lower Valley" but was moved to it's current location in 1901.

Yosemite Chapel Portrait

A quiet winter storm has wrapped Yosemite Valley in a blanket of fresh snow, transforming the landscape into a scene of hushed reverence. The historic Yosemite Chapel stands at the heart of the composition, its warm red exterior glowing gently against a world of soft whites and muted grays. Snow clings to the chapel roof, tree branches, and ground, creating a delicate texture that seems to absorb every sound.
Towering evergreens frame the chapel, their dark trunks and snow-laden branches providing a striking contrast to the luminous winter landscape. Beyond them, the valley disappears into a veil of falling snow and mist, where distant granite walls fade into shades of silver and blue-gray. The atmosphere feels cold enough to sting the cheeks and tingle the fingertips, yet the chapel's presence adds a sense of warmth and shelter.
The scene evokes the muffled silence that follows a fresh snowfall. One can almost hear the faint whisper of snowflakes drifting through the air and the gentle creak of branches bending beneath their icy burden. The air feels crisp and clean, carrying the earthy scent of pine and damp wood
What makes the image particularly compelling is the contrast between endurance and fragility. The chapel, standing since the nineteenth century, appears steadfast against the winter storm, while the falling snow softens every edge and detail around it. The result is a photograph that feels both serene and timeless, inviting the viewer into a moment of quiet reflection amid Yosemite's vast wilderness.

Looks like the snow has started here. If we do end up with the 12-18 inches the advisories have been warning about, it'll be a mess.

On the bright side, lately I've been doing a lot of informal thinking while shoveling snow. I'm turning over an informal argument grounded on Chaitin incompleteness that if our physical universe has continuous space-time, then we must make non-computable leaps in our theories in order to increase the fidelity of our understanding. "Artificial scientists" running on computers will always have inescapable limits that don't apply to human beings. It's exactly the sort of wacky thing that makes for good shovel thinking: it passes the time, and there might be something in there that's more than passing theoretical fancy.
