As if the weather wanted to play a joke, we had our first real snow of the season last night. This is a joke because I had an appointment to get snow tires at 9:30 this morning. The unwritten rule has always been to get snow tires before Thanksgiving, which is tomorrow. It is also several days later than it was last year. I should have thought about that.

When I woke up at 4:30 this morning to the sound of a neighbor plowing his driveway, there were several inches of heavy, wet snow covering the earth. I went for a run once the day had really stated by an any sane clock and found that I was wearing way too much clothing (I have to remember from last year: When it’s in the 30s, leave the sweatshirt at home). Despite the excitement about snow, I confess that I was far from pleased with the slush falling from the trees throughout the run.

But, I’ll be the first to say it, winter is pretty. I have a bunch of winter photos and posts from by 365 Photos project last year. Take a look and enjoy the snow!
