Frost road icing event; Alton bald eagles - January 12
|
In September of 2025, my work is generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I'm being forced to shut down my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field. |

HD VIDEO 2: Bald eagles on the Mississippi River in Alton
I spent all of Saturday night into Sunday morning documenting a rare and dangerous all-frost (non-precipitation) road icing event. These events happen during ideal radiational cooling under clear skies at night, and seem to be related to melting snowfall creating a shallow moist layer of air at the surface. The frost accreted heavily enough on the roads to make conditions treacherous, and many accidents were reported across the Midwest, including at least one fatal crash. I spent the duration of the event in Alton, IL. These photos and the video linked above demonstrate the conditions.
On the way home after sunrise, I stopped down at the icy Mississippi River for a few minutes along the Great River Road to see if there were any bald eagles. I saw 8 in about 10 minutes, including one devouring a fish very close to the road. Here is a short clip.
These are very high quality pictures, what camera do you use?
