It seems summer and fall are over. Winter has arrived in Western New York. This shot taken from the sliding glass doors off our kitchen. The picnic table, garden and swimming pool are pretty securely blanketed with the white stuff. On the ride home of December 2nd it took me two and a half hours for a trip that usually takes 40 minutes. I was lucky, some of the folks were stuck on the NYS ThruWay for nearly two days.
