UW doesnt cancel class, they send out emails warning you of the dangers.

A Winter Storm Warning is now in effect from 2PM December 3, 2013 to 6PM December 4, 2013. Weather conditions include snow accumulations of as much as a foot or more, and temperatures dipping well below zero. High winds will create wind chills as low as -40 degrees and limited visibility. See this link for details.

The National Safety Council advises you to take these Winter precautions:

1. Prepare your home for any winter emergency with a Winter Survival Kit.
2. Be ready for ice, snow and cold temperatures. Have shovels and de-icer available to remove snow and ice from sidewalks, driveways and parking lots. Learn how to avoid frostbite and hypothermia.
3. Prepare your vehicle. Have your vehicle serviced regularly. Check the tread and air pressure in your tires and the levels of antifreeze and washer fluid. Carry a vehicle emergency kit. Avoid unnecessary travel in warning areas. Check the weather and road conditions before you travel (www.wyoroad.info).
4. Make sure your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are in working order. According to the CDC, most carbon monoxide poisonings happen in January and December. Change the batteriesannually, test them every month. And replace detectors if over 10 years old.
5. Check your furnace/heating system. Have your furnace inspected by a professional prior to the start of every heating season. Don't store combustible materials near a furnace, hot water heater, space heater, etc. Turn off space heaters when you leave the room. Don't use extension cords with electric space heaters (the high amount of current they require could melt the cord and start a fire). When lighting a gas appliance, strike your match first, then turn on the gas. Never use your gas range as a heating device.
6. Clean your chimney and fireplace to prevent house fires. Clear the ash from the fireplace regularly. Store ashes in a metal container and allow them to cool completely.
7. Check your fire extinguisher. Charge and/or replace it if necessary.
8. Get your flu shot. It takes your body two weeks to build immunity from the flu. Get your flu shot early, in October or November. However, it is never too late to get the flu vaccine.

Don’t underestimate the dangers of slick surfaces.

Almost a third of all injuries reported at UW resulted from slips, trips, or falls. Forty to fifty percent of these accidents were directly related to winter conditions. What can you do to avoid slip and fall injuries?
Be alert (not distracted by mobile devices or other stimuli).
Dress appropriately and wear footwear with non-slip soles and flat heels.
Slow down and give yourself ample time to get where you are going.
Avoid walking on ice (notably on shady areas and inclines).
If you can’t avoid ice, bend your knees slightly and take slower, shorter steps.
If you note a slippery area on campus, call Physical Plant immediately at 766-6225.
Please contact UW Environmental Health and Safety if you have any campus safety concerns or questions:

 

bull shit no fair! Why can i have a foot of snow!

 

They dont even cancel for -40 wind chill.

 

well youre inside right? no biggie there

 

Its the walk across campus that will get ya. Supposed to hit -28 wed night.

 

Gage for faster moving objects keep the shutter speed up as high as you can while not super under exposing it. Does your lens have image stabilizer? Just gotta start shooting lots of stuff with different settings and see what works. It will all be different since it's a different cam than mine.

 

very valid point!

 

eh oh well, you'll just have to be more weary of your shutter speeds and ISO then. I assume your cam allows you to shoot in shutter priority mode? I set my cam to a max of 800 iso for auto iso cuz I dont like the noise I get above that but it sort of limits some of my low light performance but at that point I should be on a tripod and then it doesnt matter cuz i just let the shutter speed slow down enough so I can keep a low iso.

 

higher shutter speed. Shoot in TV mode aka shutter priority. have it above 320 at least. but you need lots of light.

i hate how nosiey our cameras are. or rather show noise over 400iso..kinda sad.

 

F'ed up a rim tonight. stay tuned for video!

 

doing what?

 

Drifting corners. Not my car tho.

 

ouch..haha

 

Ben i found your wide anlge lens that is f2.8..

oh and you'd need a full frame camera..to make it really a nice wide angle..but if you did that it would be wider then Mike's 10mm!


so ya..ya know..only like what..a 5k investment? haha
