I'm dreaming of a white Boxing Day

First: Go check out Dan's explanation of the meteorology that drove the blizzard. I'll wait. (My post is pure fluff.)

Okay, back? Here we go:

The timelapse video of the world filling with snow is fabulous. Poor little clcok!

Yesterday's blizzard on the northeast coast of the United States hit hard, snarling the subways and traffic, and giving people either a night stuck on a train or in a station or airport, or else a day indoors staying warm..

A satellite camera took a great shot as it moved on, leaving people to shovel out and make snow angels.

What was your Boxing Day Blizzard 2010 like? (I'm in the San Francisco bay area. Here, it was just cool and wet.)

The internet is filling up with time-lapse snow photos from the east coast!

I've got a whole list of geographile-seeds on my desktop here, and one hard post I'm working on, I want to explain the difference between climate and weather, and how climate change (or even global warming, gasp) could explain heavy-snow winters. I'm also working on the geography of the setting of one of my favorite book series, and exploring the relationship between HAARP and the Haiti quake - or the lack thereof.

What do you want to read about?

The east coast of the United States is waking up to a world of snow today, after a record-breaking snowstorm.

A couple of people have posted a link to this image on twitter:



There have been no credits for it, nor precise locations, from what I can find. I'd love more information, both for credit and geographic specificity, if you know of any.
