Well, even the doubting Thomas in me now believes that the DC area will actually have a ski season.

A snow shower just came through northern Silver Spring and left a dusting of the lightest, driest powder you can imagine. Each flake looked like the classic, multiply branched snowflake you see in illustrations. I haven't seen snow so pretty since the last time I was in Steamboat.

Whooooo - hooooo !!!! It's true - Winter is finally here!

PS - Just ignore the above outburst, I'm sure I'll be OK in a few minutes after I calm down.

PPS - No messages yet from the SSD at WT about reporting for work.
