It's been "real" winter in the US north-east for some days now, with up to ten feet of snow in places, but we've been lucky in Binghamton so far. Well, that's going to change starting tonight, Valentine Day's eve. There's a heavy snow warning in place, and we've been advised to only go out tomorrow if we really have to.

The last time I saw heavy snowfall was back in the eighties in the south east of England, so when I learned that we could have up to three feet of snow here over the next couple of days, I thought I'd get a couple of shots. These were taken around midnight on the eve of Valentine Day, 2007.

And to my Kiwi friends who've been asking for pictures of a white Christmas, well, I guess Christmas has finally come to Binghamton — in February.

I can hardly wait to see what things will look like in the morning.
