- Description of Pictures: A bunch of things here:
- (030218) We'd been getting nonstop snow for several days. When it finally ended for good on Tuesday morning, there was about 18 inches of the stuff. The first snow plow made it to our street at 10:10am that morning. The temperature jumped up to 48 degrees that afternoon and most people were dug out by the end of the day.
- (030919) Hurricane Isabel hit the east coast. My immediate neighborhood had relatively minor tree damage -- the power loss was from tree damage elsewhere. The only real damage in my yard was a tree that shifted several feet during the wind which I had to cut down to prevent it from hitting my house. I did this by hand because I didn't have power at the time and, in fact, I was without power for over five days.
- (030920) I lost power for 5 days plus one hour after Hurricane Isabel. I really hated candles afterward.
- Recognize anyone? If you recognize specific folks (or other stuff) and I haven't labeled them, please identify them for the world. Click the little pencil icon
underneath the file name (just above the picture). Spammers need not apply.
- Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
- SSRES_030218_20.JPG: View out the front door, facing downhill at 10am. There had been some snow flurries which ended just before the picture was taken. The temperature was roughly 30 degrees at this point.
- SSRES_030218_30.JPG: What a difference heat makes! This picture, roughly the same focus as number 34, was taken just 3-1/2 hours after it. The temperature had moved up to 48 degrees. Everyone was digging out while the digging was good. Notice that you can see the street, most of the cars have been dug out, and snow on trees, plants, and roofs has melted a bit.
- SSRES_030919_21.JPG: These homes are new McMansions which were built in an established neighborhood in Silver Spring. They didn't have any damage because they don't have enough lawns to even have trees.
- Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
- Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
