Winter in Michigan is often a gloomy, depressing affair.  In the last few years we actually went an entire month without more than a passing gleam of sunlight.

Another year saw a 'snow drought' that lasted into January.  There's nothing enjoyable about a cold, brown landscape.

However, right now we are fortunate enough to have truly magical weather - a wet, clingy snow that has coated every branch and turned dreary cities into enchanted forests.  A thick carpet of snow covers dormant grass and fading leaves.  The Christmas lights are peeping through the snow, throwing their light onto the pale surface like paint on a white wall.

Yeah, the roads are a bit more challenging, but the crews are doing their work, and at least one can enjoy the view for a change.

After all 2020's drama, 2021 is at least off to a scenic start.
