More "disasters" from Lynchburg, VA.

[Mark_Poole@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Mark Poole)]

     We just got through digging out from the "Blizzard of '96."
     We had a record snowfall of 20+ inches in 24 hours.  The only thing 
     that comes close is 1922, where 17+ inches fell in 24 hours.
     It is also cold (15 - 20 degrees f.) and this stuff isn't melting.
     
     I think total accumulation this time was close to two feet.  We had 
     drifts of 3-4 feet. My car was completely buried.  
     
     It is all very beautiful, and difficult to deal with.
     
     And yes, I took some shots with my "new" Stereo Realist.  I took Dr. 
     George T.'s advice and used an SLR as an exposure meter, since I can't 
     find my old one and Christmas leaves me short of cash to buy a new 
     one.  I am shooting Kodak Ectachrome Elite (ED) 200 ASA.  With all the 
     white reflecting the sun, this gives me 1/150 at f16, usually.
     
     Once I can drive around safely, I plan to get some shots of the water 
     (James river and Blackwater creek) and the snow.  I would like to 
     emulate some stereo prints I have of Austria.  I have been limited to 
     what I can walk to.
     
     I have just heard that we are due some more nasty stuff this weekend.
     With the windstorms, floods, fires, and snow, I keep looking for 
     Charlton Heston to appear...
