Winter

Well, the halcyon days of warmth and sunshine we've been enjoying lately have come to a rather abrupt end. Last night 30 mph winds blew in 6 inches of powder prompting the city's emergency sirens to sound and snowplows to engage.


It's not so bad really...especially compared to last year's madness...and I was reminded this morning of how great an exercise it is to march through untrodden powder.




The sun has actually managed to make some brief appearances in between bands of lingering storm...


...casting an otherworldly silver-yellow glow over the lake.
