you know it's winter when...

...the view from your windshield on the highway exit looks like this. That's 3, count them, THREE, snow plows loaded with salt ahead of me. While we were sitting there waiting for the light to change, a fourth went by on the street ahead of us. Mind you, there hadn't even been a drop of snow or anything else sighted yet at this time. (Although we were hit with a pretty decent ice storm started a few hours after this photos was taken.)
