Are You The Cameraman?: Polar vortex weather in Northern NY: Zero degrees, snow,

About this blog title

I cannot tell you how many times I have shown up at events with a couple of cameras around my neck, a gadget bag full of odds & ends and a lighting kit and have been asked that question. If it happened once every few years, that would be one thing. But it happens a LOT. It's like getting pulled over by the police and he's standing there with uniform, gun, flashing lights and asking him "Are you a cop?" I would love to come back with a witty reply, such as "No, I am Jesus. Don't you recognize my beard?" However, I cannot be that rude.

Polar vortex weather in Northern NY: Zero degrees, snow,

Awoke to more snow and cold this morning in Chaumont, NY. It was zero degrees and overnight snow lay upon the landscape in a picturesque manner. I cancelled my guitar lessons which I don't think I have ever done before. Spent a couple of hours shoveling snow from the driveway and sidewalks. This was at noon and the temperature had risen to 11 degrees.
