Couple of interesting events this week. Photo at left is a look at the aftermath of the snow storm on December 16 (taken the following day) which was really pretty. Actually, it was not a bad snow storm at all; roads were bad for a while, but the main roads were good real quick. I do like the fact that Richmond drivers (by and large) do drive on snow like they have done it before (certainly had a lot of practice the last two years). Ended up being something like 2-3 inches with some sleet on top, but the road department did a real good job. The snow was pretty well gone in a couple of days, with nothing left but piles of snow in the mall parking lots around the area.
Wanted to take another look at Richmond's Christmas lights; and went for a short drive tonight. Rolled up Cary Street, not really a "Tacky Light Tour" sort of drive (you can see some of those in previous posts) but had noted some of these places on my previous drives in the area. I did like this house with the tree in front. You see a few of these sort of trees, and I think they are really cool! You don't see trees like this in Carolina, they seem to be unique (at least to my experience) to the Richmond area. I like them...really artistic. Has been a nice few days in the area, and enjoyed the drive after a very fun day. Not long until Winter officially starts, though we have been getting an early preview with two pretty good fall winter storms.
