On this day in 1993 I had 8 or 9 inches of snow in my backyard in
Lawrenceville, GA.  I was working for UPI back then.  Here is a link to
the photos I transmitted that day:

I think they were shot with a Leica R4.  I know the TriX was developed
in Dektol for 30 seconds, no agitation and printed on a "LUCKY"
enlarger.  I transmitted this with an old UPI drum spinner.  I shot
color negs first but my chems were bad and they did not turn out so I
went out to re-shoot.  All I had to develop the B&W was the dektol, so I
used it for both the film and the prints.  I did not get as good of
shots the second time out, the bad color roll had a great shot of my
neighbor skiing down the road and it was still snowing a little.  By the
time I had souped the film and seen it was bad it was done snowing and
he had put his skis up.

Anyway, after a March day in the 80's I thought it may be interesting to
remember another March day where the wind chill was something like -50.
