First snow of the year

I actually was out of town for the first snow of the season here. I had to ask my friends and family to send me photos. There's something magical about the first snowfall, it's like nature's way of reminding us that something beautiful can still happen, even on the coldest and darkest of Winter's nights. I just love waking up and seeing the untouched blanket of white, except for one set of footprints, disappearing down the road. Maybe next time, I'll follow them. Who knows where they might lead?
