I could have resized my screen grab.
I could have changed the frame code in the HZ editor.

I've got an enormous monitor here at the command desk. I forget that others don't. Sorry.

And it was a gorgeous storm deserving a big picture. Growing up here along the Front Range, I've always loved a good upslope storm. As a kid, in the 70's, I'd watch the TV weather in anticipation when the local news showed a low aimed at the state line like a bowling ball finding that sweet spot where everything comes together and dumps a big soggy on us. I call it an Up-slop.

What I find delightful now is that due to our satellites, weather stations, meteorologists, multiple computer models, the internet, and a big ole computer monitor, I can watch these things form, evolve, and unfold in real time. And observe the wind direction as I shovel the snow.

(As an aside, if you ever catch me skewing a map, hang me for treason, burn me for blasphemy, quarter me for cartographic crimes, and send the parts to the four corners of the earth. That last part is tricky.)
