We can always count on Nature to help us refocus our priorities. Friday morning the city woke up to the first big snowstorm of the winter. Walking to work that morning I found people to be unusually friendly and cheerful, and total strangers were giggling and saying "good morning", which I rarely see around here.
By noon over 25 cm. had accumulated and traffic was paralyzed. Then came one of life's sweet gifts - we closed down the office and sent everyone home at 2 p.m. - on a Friday! What could be better than that, especially just before Christmas? I took this photo soon after getting home, at 4:14 p.m. on Dec. 16, 2005. The view is towards the southwest up MacLaren St., as seen from our dining room.
