We woke up this morning with a nice little surprise – a full blown snowstorm. It’s been since the Fall of 2001 that I’ve had a day off work for snow related reasons, so it was really nice to take a walk this morning in the freshly snow-covered streets. There was a good 4 or 5 inches of snow on our car in the driveway, but the snowfall was probably more like 3 inches. It was still a welcome sight. I took a number of pictures, and found out that my 24-120 is starting to freeze up – I think the lubrication internally is finally wearing out.

Today is also the inauguration of Barak Omaba as the 44th President of the United States. Got to watch that as I worked from home – it was very nice, sitting on the couch while hacking on MySQL databases and watching snow fall. I wish every day of work could be like this.
