Fun but short! I've had good luck with rechargeable batteries in the past, I feel pretty confident that one of the batteries in the set I was using was broken and simply wouldn't take a charge any longer. This was the second time in a row that those batteries were dead right after a charge. A different set worked fine this weekend. Snowing pretty good right now, woohoo! Chris-

Nice shot.... looks incredible. Yea when its that cold batteries don't seem to last, I try and keep the camera close to my body. Lithium is expensive but seems to last alright.
