I think there might be nothing sadder than melting snow...well, in North Carolina anyway. As we were catching snowflakes on our tongues in New York City, snow was falling in Raleigh. SIX INCHES. To my readers in Europe (there are surprisingly quite a few), that is like 15 centimeters. I'll pause while they snicker in Germany, Belgium, Wisconsin and British Columbia.
Naturally school was closed on Tuesday. Of course school was also closed on Wednesday. And today school is operating on a two-hour delay. We are not wimps here...well, maybe a little. It has to do with infrastructure and snow plows and stuff.
Here it was:
Hurley took this when it was really coming down.
Quoth Toby, "WTF is this stuff? There is no way I'm walking out there. I can hold it until it goes away."
"This is just wrong. I'm a Florida dog. Whose idea was this?"
Kind of charming, huh?
I just love the look of snow on Adirondack chairs. It's kind of the antithesis of the covers of all those summer beach reads.
Beautiful!

School closings: it is unreasonable to assume that the one snow plow we have can clear all of the snow in the Triangle area.

I'm a Massachusetts girl transplanted to southeastern PA, and this week I was over the moon because we got snow that didn't melt overnight! It's mostly gone now, but for a couple of days there, we had quite the winter wonderland.
