Autumn is my favorite season, but winter is a close second. Last year was probably the mildest winter in my memory, with maybe a Sean total of less than a foot of snow. But sometimes, we can have that much in just a few hours with lake-effect snow off of Lake Erie. Not like Buffalo, but enough to occasionally close everything. 

Winter isn't always fun, though. We live on a curve on a semi-rural road. Speed limit is 35, but that's just a suggestion. At the end of our property is a wind tunnel between trees, resulting in bad road conditions right at the curve.

The magnolia tree actually came back better than ever. The electric pole didn't.

 

Our girl would make bets on who came the closest to guessing how many vehicles we'd have in our yard each winter. This guy did *not* enjoy winter that particular day.

 

This was me arriving home from work several years ago. 😉 (Note that the tire tracks only come *from* the garage, not the road)

Time for a nice warm fire? 😀
