It's beginning to look a lot like...

Winter. This was my view as I headed out to the parking lot:

While the weather may look depressing, it's a sign that the end is near.
For most of the year, I've been associating snow and winter with birth. I'd think about how I'll have to haul baby to school in the snow or how I'll have to bundle baby up so he won't be too cold.  I'd think about how I might be giving birth over the holidays. And now, there's just 7 weeks left to go! So I welcome the snow as a sign of the times.

Rhetorically,
