“Mother Nature” made a comment on my post of two days ago, “Awaiting Spring,” which addressed signs of a coming spring. As you can see from these photos she’s rather direct in her comments as to it not being Spring yet but presents a very strong case.
A winter tour
Instead of staying in yesterday during the final stages of our recent winter event, the wife and I decided we were going to explore and enjoy the beauty of this new snow before it began to melt or became dirty. This wasn’t all that big of an adventure, our small SUV has 4WD. We did …
Winter Snapshots
Winter has made another appearance in a big way. It began as snow yesterday evening before sundown and is supposed to continue in some form most of today. Currently I can hear frozen rain/ice hitting the windows. There’s perhaps 5-6 inches accumulation so far and more in the forecast. The temperature will drop to 13F …
A little snow here, more else where
Paul’s locally accurate and lovely weekend slideshow “One minute of winter” in Charlotte, NC would have been a little different if done west or north or west of his location. Here in Salisbury, about 35-40 mile northeast of the Charlotte there was between 3-4 inches of snow — much of which still covers the ground. …

Here in the piedmont of North Carolina what began in the morning as rain, freezing rain and sleet turned into a genuine heavy snow …
March snow, big for this area
I’ll do the obligatory snow post since one of the big stories today is the snow storm heading up the east coast. Last night until sometime this morning we got about 4.5 inches of heavy wet snow. The dogs were going crazy running and exploring while I took these photos in our back yard. As …
Snow Day
It was snowing some late last night and this morning there was about two inches of the white stuff covering the ground. The real problem this time is that the temperatures fell to 19°F overnight making for ice and black ice in some spots–very slick and dangerous. I guess earlier this week the groundhog did …
On the home front, a little snow
My friend Paul has already posted of the snow at his home. He’s located about 40 miles to the southwest of me in Charlotte, NC, and I believe they received a bit more snow then we did. Since Paul posted a photo of his dog, Hobbs, I’ll follow his lead. We added a new member …
