wind is a powerful thing. extremely low air temps let you know how a small amount of wind can have a profound effect on you and your surroundings. this first picture shows what appears to be the wind winning a battle with light. see how the blowing snow softens the edges of the shadows.
here's a classic example of the wind's sculpting power. as i dug through the snowdrifts (like this), today, i found that the wind had blown away all of the powdery snow and what was left were compact layers. it's interesting that this is formed not in large sculpting scoops but by the wind brushing away a few granules at a time.
