Silver lining

Just slipped on a patch of ice in the do-it-yourself carwash (yes, the carwash because this foggy, freezing weather and the salt they put on the roads means that I could hardly see through my side mirrors), and while gazing at the beautiful white-covered trees I found out that said beauty is caused by minuscule cancerous dust particles that hold on to the frost.
Cheerful!

But, can I point out that from today on, the days are getting longer again?
And that I'm not due back at work till January 3rd? (at which point I'll be -gasp- a year older)
Fantastic!
