"HAPPY NEW YEAR"
I have always liked the fresh snow with the wonderful winter light (low position of the Sun). Most photographers forget that with the low position of the Sun, one can get very good photographs even closer to noon time. I use the Adirondack Chairs in the back yard to measure the height of the snow. I looks like we had about 5 inches last night. The infrared also helps to show details and shadows in the snow.
