Winter's Edge

"Getting an inch of snow is like winning 10 cents in the lottery." - Bill Watterson

Somewhere in the city, I'm sure my Dad woke up this morning feeling a little more chipper than usual. Snow had fallen overnight, not a lot, but enough to give him a sense of satisfaction. Winter is coming, it's almost time for skis and snowshoes.

 

Elsewhere in the city, people woke up and looked outside and sighed. Winter is coming.

 

I personally hate the first snowfall of the year. No matter how little snow we get, people seem to lose their minds behind the wheel.

 

I passed four car being pulled off the side of the highway this morning, and traffic was more nutty than usual. We had people going 130km an hour, and others going 30km an hour. The highway I take to work has a speed limit of 100km an hour. Not easy to navigate through the insanity, but I survived and hopefully people will calm down and return to their normal levels of madness.

 

Hope everyone has had a good day.
