The street in North Edmonton where I grew up was wide and open with high street lights. When a blizzard would blow in, the street-view from my parents&#8217; big, 60s-picture window was magical! The air would seem to come alive with the falling and blowing snow glowing and sparkling in the bright street lights. Thanks for listening, friends!
