Went for a walk in the neighbourhood with my wife, enjoying a beautiful fall evening with unseasonably warm temperatures. It is December, a third of the way through the month, more or less, shouldn’t there be snow on the ground by now? I’m not complaining, just wondering.

I snapped a picture with my phone, the lighting was interesting, to me at least. Then I scrolled back through the photos, checking my memory.

Today is December 9 and there is no snow. I took this picture in 2013, an early morning shot on November 27. A world of difference to be sure.
