Snow days were always the best as a kid... no school, play in the snow all day instead! It snowed all night, and during the day it was a nice blue sky and sunny. I managed to squeeze in a few after work and before the sun went down, which is later and later these days. Here is Raffi Auto shop with some snow-covered parked cars and piles of car parts. The trail in the front is where they drive cars into the repair area.

Across the street on Harley, these tall apartment buildings cast long blue shadows over the parking lot. Most of the cars had this blue-violet colour, as did the snow. Buildings on the opposite were still catching some of the low winter sun.

At Coffee Park, this curved black iron fence was casting an interesting shadow on the snow and up the embankment. Trees and grassy remnants completed the scene. In the background behind the trees is Coffee street. I tried to get a good angle on the new structure they completed in the park, but it seems to have been designed to thwart artists; its a complex poly-rectangle shape with odd angles. Maybe in the summer it would be good.
