Yesterday we finally had a good snow that covered the ground. It's about time: It's been cold and dreary for a while, and winter is so much better with a nice blanket of snow. The weather forecast is for more snow and temperatures in the 20s, so it seems like winter has really set in. Time to break out the boots! Here are two pictures from my walk to work yesterday morning. The first picture shows the landmark Golden Gates, which were built in 1146 (or something like that) and used to be the entrance to the city. The second picture is of the road leading up an old earth mound toward a water tower near the American Home.
