NOAA says we're to have freezing rain tomorrow, and I have a bunch of Kodachrome and Tech Pan in the fridge, ready to go... I live on the edge of Forest Park here in Portland, and the two best times to shoot there are during/after spring rainstorms and after an ice storm. Gotta stock up on candles today, though - these things invariably knock out the power up here.... Have a wonderful Solstice/Christmas/New Year, fellow LUGgites; and stay safe on those wet & icy roads! ..........................................................................
