Thanks Paul - I'm getting tired of the snow too...
Last summer I agreed to do an exhibit of only snow crystals at the Kalamazoo Nature Center. It's a big gallery space and will need about 50 images to fill it up. I'm on the board there and winter is a dead time, so we were hoping to generate some winter traffic.
Up till now my biggest combined snow crystal exhibit was a sale made to a hospital, which bought 36 prints early this fall. It was a challenge to meet that number of prints, so I've been hoping for a snowy winter so I could get enough together for the dedicated snowflake show.
Maybe I hoped too hard :-) No problem rounding up 50 first rate shots at this point -- this winter has been very generous.

Great shot. Beautiful crystal. But I'm really tired of snow. Hope you run out of subjects soon <vbg>.

Usually by this time of year I'm trying to get my first bee shots in crocus flowers.... but not this year. I assume the crocuses are under the snow, no doubt freezing their buds off.
Here's a snow crystal from last night - probably the biggest one I've ever shot - no more than 2x life sized:

I think I've figured out the lighting on these and have started roughing up plans to move beyond my coffee-can-notebook-cover approach. Though my current ideas still more or less conform to the design principles of the Jethro Bodine School of Applied Engineering...
Another 4 inches predicted for tonight and tomorrow - yee haw...
