So, I had to head 350km due north for a business trip. When I left home, it was windy and rainy. As I headed north, the rain turned to wet snow. By the time I was about 250km north, the weather cleared up, but there was a solid covering of snow over everything. The northern pine trees were sparkling in their white wonder. The ground was covered in a blanket of white cotton. And as pretty as it all looked, I couldn't help thinking...damn, I've driven straight into winter and it's not even halloween yet!
