As I am sure many of you know (how could you not) a major storm system has been making its way across the U.S. causing problems for many. So far, my area has not been hit too hard (we just caught the edge of the system) I hope everyone in the path of the storm has been able to cope. In the mean time I'm posting three pictures that I took just twenty minutes ago outside the front door of my office... as a reminder that, despite its harshness and tribulations, winter possesses its own, unique, beauty. By the way, although you can't see it (because it is drained for the winter) that's the Erie Canal on the other side of that fence.

It's so beautiful....but it's going to mess up the holiday weekend for many.

If you're traveling for Thanksgiving........drive safely.

It started as snow here. Thankfully it changed over to rain early on.

Love the pics. Would hate the temperature though.

I hope everyone on their way to Thanksgiving destinations stay safe and warm.

I know a lot of guys in the trades who work in the crap all day and bitch constantly about it, but when it's quitting time, what do they do? Go and ride snowmobiles all night long. Funny it's not as miserable when they're doing 90 across a farmer's field at midnight, huh?
