David--looking forward to meeting you at the big Atlanta get to gether--or maybe even before.
Are you in the Grant Park area?
I am up in Suwanee--and we had about 8" of snow and ice--beautiful and treacherous!
Take care...

Plenty of snow pics--but none I'd post--technically--I am hopeless---hoping to learn from you guys at the meet---:) :)
take care and stay low...!!!

Below: 10 cm (4 inches) of snow, which is loads for where I live in North Carolina (namely, in the Piedmont, not the mountains).This is a test shot as much as anything else. My prior attempts to meter snow have met failure, so yesterday I went out and burned a roll of film just to learn. This time, per some advice found in old threads 'round here, I used a Yellow 2 filter and compensated +2 stops (which I think of as +1.5 stops to prevent the snow being all blown highlights, and +0.5 stops for the filter). It mostly worked; texture and detail remain, at least in the foreground snow. This was with a Mamiya C330 wearing 80/2.8 lens, on Efke R100 (so, metered as ISO 25 per the aforementioned +2 stops). I believe this was something like f/5.6, or maybe f/4, and 1/30s.

(To add complexity: this was souped in Ilfosol 3 [as it's all I can get locally] for which there's no well established Efke R100 dev time; my best guess is 9 min at 20C in 1+14; then I extended that to 13 min since it was at 16C.)
