I lived out in the desert southwest for a decade, and I can say I have a greater appreciation for winter since I moved back. It is beautiful at times, and crappy at times. Just like everywhere.

Winter wonderland today, driving in this morning with a fresh coating of snow just seemed to enhance the beauty of the christmas decorations along main st. Hats off to the city employees for a great job. I just love the western NY winters, bring on the snow!
