I saw huge flakes sparsely falling and went out wrapped the porch rail in a scarf and waited for one to land on it. I didn't use my tripod because the time was so short from when they'd land to when they started melting.Time

Be patient. I just put on my camera gloves and waited while enjoying simply watching the snow fall. When I was done I put my camera in the garage to slowly warm before bringing it in the house to avoid condensation. If I had known it was going to snow I would've had my scarf out earlier so it would already be cold. I lost a few flakes right in the beginning because my scarf was house temps. A cool LED ring light would've been a plus.
