well, you made two clear points Bob, one the snow storm was ferocious, and 
two 
the best time to take great photos at Yosemite is when the storms come....

a wonderful series from someone who knows how to work the park and its 
interaction with the elements, it's a study of how to use the weather to 
your 
advantage...

I love the place, and your images...and I feel I know each tree...

eg river lean, almost tried for that shot last time,
