When it snows it is one of the only times that everything “man made” (roads, houses, cars, etc) can become covered by something natural. The invisibility of these things is the only time we can really see our part of the planet in some kind of virgin state.

Last night, like every year before, it seems like I always have the pleasure of driving in the snow as it begins to fall. I was with my friend Shane and as soon as we saw the snow we were both hoping that it would keep falling. We stood around in the cold until  we saw the roads were covered in snow; then we hopped in my car and cruised around. We were the first ones to leave track on most of the roads we traveled and only saw a few other explorers. It always feels like an expedition during the first snow fall. Decisions must be made of where to go and were to look. Looking for what though? Nothing really. Just driving around enjoying the beauty of nature.
