Like riding in a postcard

this time of year can be so much fun. Tonight on the commute home a fresh inch of snow was falling. 5-0 pulled along me to remind me I had to operate under the same laws as a car (actually said this: "You're a car out here."). And I took a new route home and found this. I sure am glad I'm not in charge.

Thanks for the great pic, naisme.

I was thinking the same thing a couple of days ago as I bicycled in the snow through neighborhoods all lit up with Christmas decorations. How wonderful!

I wanted to get my family and go for a ride, but they would never go for it.

Anyway, the biking now is fantastic.

Wow!
Great picture! Also reminds me I have to get my decorations up.

(sigh) Forecast is warm and rainy for next week -- no white Christmas here, although we will have some snow tomorrow,

Wow! Nice pic. I'd post one of my area, but I'm sorry to say we have no snow. Its just UGLY brown. Thanks for sharing with us.

Where is that photo taken?

Naisme, how did you take that nice night-time pic? Did you use a digital camera? Any hints?
