Big snowstorm in Minneapolis

We had our second big snowstorm of the winter yesterday and today. This is now one of the snowiest winters on record in Minneapolis. I took a bunch of photos during the storm, they don't really work with the photothread I am working on now and are not of the same quality so I thought I would post them by themselves as a small set.

These are from yesterday as the storm was starting, the storm picked up as I was shooting:



















This is what happens if you try to take a photo in a whiteout:



These are from today when the storm was supposed to be mostly over:

Great photos! I especially liked your photos of the Warehouse District buildings. Even though I'm anxious for spring, I actually liked this snowstorm--the snow was pretty dry and easy to shovel! I'm also glad it happened over a holiday weekend.

I always love snowbound city photos. My cousin, in Belle Plaine, MN, however, did not appreciate this storm as it took her and her neighbors five + hours to dig out their driveways yesterday.

Just been a crazy winter. Drive 160 miles north on I-35 to Duluth and we've had hardly any snow now for six weeks. Usually it's the other way around - we are the ones with snowstorms and blizzard conditions all winter!

Very nice! I would think with all the snow there might be some flooding concerns this spring in the midwest.

I gave up on taking snowstorm photos long ago so I always tip my hat to those who brave the elements to do it.
