Heavy snow with high moisture content has made the roads very icy at 31ยบ. But, of course, it is a winter wonderland. My recommendation is to stay home, unless you're a photographer with no common sense. (I came close to sliding off the road, in spite of 4WD.) Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, Canon EF24-105mm f/4L IS II USM, 1/1000s@f/8.0, ISO 400, lens focal length 58mm., 05/18/17 9:20am.

Congratulations Richard! We sort of "lucked out" so to speak with this storm hitting during the challenge. Is the snow still around or has it melted yet?
Mostly, the 36" of snow has melted at elevations below 9000'. Still deep above tree line and in the tundra. TRR not opening this weekend because of drifting snow and icy road.

Congrats. Thanks for sharing the story behind the shot. It is part of the fascination of the picture to know the story behind it. You are quite dedicated!
On the brink of a new Ice Age.
