I was driving a friend home during a nasty winter nor'easter and we were stuck in traffic. What took me usually 20 minutes, took me well over an hour to get her home. Ordinarily, I'd have been frustrated, but the sheer beauty of what was falling all around us made me stop and try to capture that essence. It wasn't cold, obviously just around freezing, but the snow was heavy and wet. The trees reminded me of a frosted cake.
