The View From My Window

This is it - the view from my office window. The snow has stopped, leaving in it's wake the beauty of winter. We have had over half the amount of snow we usually get all winter, and it's not even the end of November! It looks as though the sun will come out today, making everything even more picturesque.

The only thing marring the beauty these days is the frustrated drivers trying to commute on nasty road conditions. These conditions are doubling or even tripling the commute time. With the snow coming this early and following very warm weather, a thick layer of ice formed under the freshly fallen snow. This made for treacherous driving conditions. Thankfully, most of the many fender-benders in our city have been just that - fender benders. There have been very few injuries and no fatalities.
