IMG_IMG: Snow Day RVA

by | Nov 19, 2009 | PHOTOGRAPHY

It’s going to start getting cold soon. Or at least, supposedly. We’re barely two weeks away from December, and it’s barely supposed to dip below sixty degrees in the next week. I think it’s gone below freezing twice this “winter,” so far.

But I digress. We know it’ll get cold, bitter and windswept, soon enough. What we’re not sure of is whether or not we’ll have snow. In April of this year, we had a great snowstorm. Many of us spent the night wandering the city in wonder and awe, and I was certainly amongst those. I have a long-standing obsession with cities in the snow, especially at night. Every time it snows in RVA I end up wandering for a few hours (or sometimes until dawn) with a camera and wide eyes. Enjoy! (slideshow beneath the break)
