Four inches of new snow, empty early morning roads and a nice X5 with winter shoes. Today was a good day.

For those who want to try this:

Camera is on a tripod in the back seat stabilized by two 5-pound dumbbell plates.

Camera: D3
Lens: Nikon 17-24mm f2.8 set at 17mm
Remote: pair of pocket wizards.

ISO 200 f/8 at 1/6 sec. X5 was only traveling at 40kph (25mph?) well within the speed limit. the speedometer needle was photoshoped to read 160kph (100mph).

Need to put you on modern 800 class sled and point you to the open snow. Give you a whole new Whoo Hoo!! perspective on that stuff.



Well, then ya get stuck, and then ya go home and ya gotta shovel there also.
But still...............

This was the last snowfall NJ got. Got extreme brake cooling as the snow packed on when going sideways.
