Jan. 5th, 2003
 Being out in the cold in never someone's favorite thing to do, but having snow on the ground, fresh snow, and with more falling, it sure does take away any displeasure.  I'm lightly dressed here as the temperature is just barely low enough for the snow to be falling.  That's typical in the DC region.  Always Ia fine line between whether it will snow, sleet or rain.
Jan. 5th, 2003 There was a lot of activity for me that snowy day.  The first set of pictures was taken in the morning, when the snow was falling, and it was only about 4 inches (in the Gaithersburg area).  Later I ventured south toward Kensington.  I stopped and got some pictures in the Rock Creek Park, which were tough in that light. 
Jan. 5th, 2003 Then later I went to The Morman Temple....where the annual light display was looking absolutely amazing in the snow. 
Jan. 5th, 2003 Then for one last adventure I went Geocaching in the dark, in the snow.  It was extremely cold, and the snow was starting to really pile up.  About the time of this photo, it must have around 8 to 10 inches.
