Winter Weather

[Karen]

Best bet for photographing a storm at night: Use a tripod, max aperture, long exposure. You'll get a blur from the snowflakes, and maybe trails from the occasional headlight.

I wasn't commenting in my ability, rather that a photograph, no matter how clear, never really captures the beauty and sensations of a winter storm at night. It cannot catch the subtle sounds, the sensation, the movement, or the shifting, oddly atmospheric light!
