Baby gets so close that my lens can't focus (well, except on her tail). We have MORE snow and Taffy says 8 - 12 more inches coming to the city. Out in the suburbs where I am next to the lake, I tend to get even more than in there city. (I don't have TV so I rely on Taffy for my weather news of anything more than temperature predictions on my phone.)
Baby likes the lens! I have TV but I don't track weather and if I do (usually for a photo shoot), it's online. I also have a battery powered radio (ancient) in case we ever need it--Atlanta's power goes out in virtually every storm, so TVs are useless there!
