The ice storm comes for my car

We’re having ourselves quite the Canadian winter, so scenes like this have become more common than they typically have been.

My inclination is usually to clean the car off so we can get going before we freeze to death, but the visuals are often so arresting - and temporary - that it’s worth a frozen-shut eyelid so we can get the shot.

Because the ice and snow won’t stick around for much longer. But the Canadian in me wants to freeze it in time so eventually we’ll be able to remember what it all felt like.

Maybe that’s a very Canadian trait, too. Or maybe I’ve just been spending too much time in the freezing cold.
