Really Sick of Winter

Really Sick of Winter
13 March 2014 -- 72/365
North Providence, Rhode Island

It's only a light dusting today, but after the spring-like weather we had earlier in the week the 14°F (-10°C) high today was a sobering reminder that winter has not yet finished with us. To add insult to injury, it rained all night, so the sudden drop in temperature left the roads looking like they had been groomed by a Zamboni. My street is still glare ice, so I opted for a driveway selfie to emphasize my dislike of the white stuff.

Post processing started with a classic filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, boost black, and protect highlights. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.

Here's the high res version in Smugmug: http://kannafoot.smugmug.com/Photo-Challenges/PAD2014/i-pH5FPwV/0/XL/2014%2003%2013_0003%20copy-XL.jpg

@cejaanderson I should have charged myself a modeling fee, though!

@tasian It's days like this where Arizona starts to sound very attractive.

@tabithasyear The UK can have ALL of our snow, Tabitha! LOL

@justaspark Thanks, Jule! It sure beat trying to drive in that skating rink.
