I recognize blowing snow when I see it! Nice pano that clearly shows the cold and the wind, John.

The layers work very well here, John, especially with the mix of light, shadow, light. The you've clearly got some strong blowing snow along the ridge. Well seen and captured.

Beautiful low-angle light - early morning? The blowing snow is quite striking!
