First Post

Hello,

Its my first post here on blogspot. I toyed with this idea over the summer however, I didn't really have the time to work on it. As we head into winter, (looking at our first accumulating snow here in Omaha today) I feel that I will have a bit more time to devote to this. All of my photos are taken with a Canon Rebel XTi and I'm exploring more photography methods as time goes on as well as trying new subject matters.

Regarding our potential for snow today. The Winter Storm Watch which was earlier in effect has been dropped and we are now looking at only 1-3 inches of nuisance snow. As of this writing a cold front is about to spread through Eastern Nebraska as the low moves further NE from the TX/ OK panhandle region. On and have mist has accompanied the frontal passage and we should be changing to snow between 6-8 pm, with some light snow showers and gusty winds on and off through the night. The only way I forsee any additional snow accumulation is if the system somehow slows down or ends up coming across the plains a bit further south than currently projected. More updates on this later.

I leave you with my first image, and one that really defined my chase season this year.

This is the circulation of a tornado producing storm near Elkhorn, NE. This later produced a tornado near Highway 33 very close to my location, which we then had to jet south to get away from. The huge curing RFD and gustfront then cut off our view as we emerged from the precipitation in the hook region of the storm.
