First Big Snowstorm of the Winter
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.
