Solstice on ice

If only the shortest day was also the coldest day. It's great to think that the days will now grow longer, and we've passed the darkest moment, but that's balanced by the realization that the whole freezing, snowy, slushy winter season lies ahead. So, yeah, there will be more light, but it will be reflecting off of slick roads.

That having been said, I should add that I totally lucked out as far as snowfall. We only got four inches. Places not all that far from here got over a foot.
