Sometimes the phrase "snow mixed with rain" can mean something beautiful. I failed to capture completely what my eyes could see -- Kyklops I'm not -- but have a look, anyway.

A little earlier this morning, I tried taking the same picture. I was surprised when the flash went off (must be looking on the bright side at the moment). Amazing off-axis reflectivity:

Can't help but think of that old Richard Pryor line about being "a license-plate-making motherfucker."

By the way ... For all you Internet stalkers: that's not my license plate. That's not even my car. I don't even live in New York.
