Hard afternoon snow

When the latest of our series of minor winter storms—this one was dubbed WC Pax by the Weather Channel—rolled across the landscape, the forecast was for heavy, heavy snow turning to heavy, heavy rain. During the morning, it came down at a rate of a couple of inches an hour, and when I was out walking in a memorable gale, I had more than a moment's pause as I imagined a what-if, as in, what if this stays snow? It was snowing about as hard as it can, and I was in the process of returning home to get my cross-country skis, when the changeover began to occur. Instead of heading out to play, I changed into shoveling gear and resolved to clear the driveway before the snow was too weighty to move. At least I'd get a proper workout, and I didn't have any reason to believe that the toil would kill me. Still, best to post this image fast... you never know.
