Large swaths of Ontario and Quebec are feeling winter’s wrath this morning as a major storm dumps near-record amounts of snow and freezing rain across the region.

It’s easy to see why this is a source of stress for so many. Any kind of travel in this weather is equal parts cold, miserable, inconvenient, and dangerous. There’s no minimizing it, even if Canadians wrote the book on winter survival.

Yet no other season announces itself quite like this one, or paints the landscape with such a delicate palette.

So as we round the corner in the woods and come face to face with this, it feels appropriate to stop for a moment to appreciate it.

The walk home will still be annoying and treacherous. But for just one moment, we immerse ourselves in the hushed magic of this remarkable place.
