Cromwell, Connecticut, USA. A day of high winds and lots of snow, in blizzard conditions, condo weird things at a 200-year old house. In the 43 years I've lived here, this is a first. Wind blew snow over, under and around the cellar door, leaving a large pile of snow in the cellar. Stranger yet was the arrival of a ski team! (Skier is from the Olympics website, this of the 'Hermmanator' at the 1998 Nagano Winter Games.)

This is crazy cool with the way you did this one Thad. Love the skier, a neat added element, and very creative. tigs=^..^=

lol ... You know a snowstorm is bad when you have to shovel indoors afterwards! Cheers to your good humor during a less than wonderful winter surprise. Sneaky snow!

In such a blizzard snow will find all the smallest cracks. Nice one with the skier in the cellar

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

I am so glad you timed this shot to capture the skier on this snow filed - it was perfect timing Thad :)
A unique and interesting shiver-making image.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

If you live long enough, they say you will see everything. I'm glad I was still around for this Thad. If the house won't go to the slopes, the slopes will come to the house... or something like that.
Excellent work.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

We had something similar happen several winters ago tho' no little skier to make the incident as amusing...a creative and humorous shot.

There's nothing like extreme weather to create unique effects. The Lilliputian on skis I have no explanation for. ;oP
