Nice pics, Next friday i'm going on a holiday in snowy country.
The Blue pics may come from a setting, have you set it to indoor light? Or you may have a personal white balance set.

Mel- those pictures make me nostalgic for home. Northern lllinois will always be home to me.....I miss the damn snow. We are supposed to get 1-3 inches starting late this afternoon/tonight, so because our weathermen are morons, that means either NO snow or 9-12 inches - I am hoping for the latter - Colin is so excited about the prospect of a little white stuff!

They don't even sell the studded tires here anymore, and iffin I could find a set, I don't even think they are legal anymore??
Maybe someone else have more insite to this.
to add:
Wisconsin
No
Nov. 15 - April 1 Studded tires are allowed on authorized emergency vehicles, vehicles used to deliver mail, and school buses.
Studded tires are allowed on automobiles with out-of-state registrations (only if such automobiles is in the course of passing through the state for a period of not more than 30 days).

Peg, that sucks.
I hated putting those damn studded tires on my classic 67...but it really DOES make a difference in the traction.
Got shovel?

We got dumped on with also, super windy too. Got stuck in my backyard at 6:30 this morning. I own 3 4-wheel drive vehicles, my wife and daughters drive them. I get the Tempo, hooooray. At least I don't have to run around pulling them out of snow banks. A high of -8 F predicted for wednesday, another big hoooray. I'll be freezing my ass off.
Mel, my digital camera took wierd blue pictures for a while and then it died.
I'm really looking forward to tomorrow.

Studded tires tear up the pavement.
The only way to learn to drive in that sh!t is by practice!
Have fun,

I love the snow pictures. As a kid I wished I lived where it snowed but now I’m much too old to adjust to cold weather. At least it gets cold at night here but the daytime 70F weather just doesn’t seem like the proper Christmas picture. Oh well, there is a nice NW swell coming so I guess it will be surfing on Christmas again.

Really nice pics mel!!! I miss the snow, especially at Christmas. Had more than my share growing up and again for a few years in MI. Wish my kid could wake up to a white Christmas in her own house. Oh well, instead of shovelling snow I'll shovel dog shit. At least myback won't hurt and toes won't get cold.
