Winter's first snow - December 20, 2013.

I love winter. I love snow. It is pristine. The snow flakes fall on my car, so pure and white. Despites its purity and beauty, driving under snowy condition can be dangerous, especially in the Northwest where compact snow become "black ice". My commute would have been 15.5 miles from Kent going north to Bellevue and often find myself stuck in the notoriously "S-curve" However, I choose to commute on foot as evident on the shoeprint on the pure pristine snow - Absence from work due to inclement weather is not an option.
