Up until yesterday everyone around here was asking, "What happened to winter?
Where did it go?"
Daytime temperatures have been in the low 60s (°F) without significant wind and
the lowest it had gotten was mid to low 30s (°F).
We have had a lot more rainy days than I'm used to this winter.
I went out a little while ago and took a few photos that I think truly capture
Raleigh's snow experience. I'll try to get something up on Flickr later today &
post a PESO.

Funny thing is, we are getting similar weather here and are thinking how

I had to go out earlier to walk the doggy. It's very wet snow, getting
slushy
underfoot on the sidewalks & on the streets, but if it gets as cold as
they say
it will it's gonna' freeze.
Temperature is right at freezing now, but with an 8 mph wind out of the
North
Northeast the "wind chill" is already down to 26° (F). Will be down to
where it
feels like the low teens by morning when I have to take the dog out again.
I've got YakTrax to go on my Vasque hiking boots in the morning, so I
should be
fine.

I'm fairly snug. Got plenty of firewood under cover on the front porch to
fuel
the wood-stove. Got an electric blanket & a down comforter and if the
power goes
out I can slip my little "organic heater" under the blankets.
I even have a generator to power my Mr. Coffee. Bought a gas stove today
to be
delivered in a couple of weeks. I've got sense enough not to drive in this
crap
if I don't have to and I try to stay prepared so I won't have to.
Only downside so far is I just learned "unsalted, organic, free-range
chicken
broth" makes a terrible tasting warm up beverage when you've just come in
from
the cold.
I'll take a picture if it's still around in the morning when I finally go
out.
