Very striking, with New York right on the cusp.

Yes, that has the look of something familiar. We had some snow today, but I don't think it lay anywhere on the central belt and frankly....I can't be doing with further bouts. I have so much travel to do for work over the next two weeks, then Morocco on the 23rd, so there had better not be blizzards closing any airports at that point.

One thing that has frankly alarmed me, is the severe and sudden deterioration in the road surfaces. Many main roads have bad holes in them and now, instead of seeing the driver in front weave about and assume he is under the influence, you try to shadow the swerving to avoid the pot holes.

Today I drove on the motorway near to us, mile upon mile I could see that the surface of at least two lanes is breaking up. I wonder about the materials we are using, or the workmanship. My guess is that there will be no money to put all this right. The roads are starting to remind me of Uganda, there people places palm fronds over particularly bad holes, so drivers knew to avoid. We might have to start to do something similar. Except; we might run out of trees.

Looking forward to the sun?

I suppose I can relate. Good roads are a rarity here.

Very much. Here is a link to photos from three years ago when I visited the country.

Thanks for posting that!  Yes, New Yorkers got lucky this time, but supposedly another big storm is going to hit tomorrow, and we are definitely getting socked.

PS, knight, that last photo with the tables and chairs is fantastic.

Thanks for sharing those photos with us, Mike. I especially like the one with the frames -- something that would have made me take a few photographs, as well. :)

Eating at the restaurant(?) along the stream must be quite an experience.

You're welcome, Bruce. :) Keep yourself warm. [I don't know if warm is even the right word at this instance. :-\]
