Cora and Enzo.

 We've had two winter storms drop snow (and a bit of ice) in North Carolina.  When Cora came through two weeks ago, my trip to Dallas was scrubbed.


Yes, it doesn't look like much, especially to a Northerner.
But this came across from Dallas and the South cannot handle it.

The airline offered rescheduling at no charge, so I reticketed for the coming weekend.  Two of the theatre tickets couldn't be rescheduled for this weekend, so friends used them, and were happy to see the shows.  One ticket could be reissued and I will see that show this weekend.  I may also get to the Dallas Symphony Orchestra concert.  A yarn group I've dropped in at in the past was supposed to meet that weekend and also rescheduled to this one, so I'll join them for a bit on Saturday.

Last night we had Enzo, leaving only 1.5-2" here, unlike the 7+ inches in Alabama and 8 inches in Louisiana.  People were ice-skating and having snowball fights on Bourbon Street.

How it started.  Fat snowflakes last night.

In this morning's light, an unusual sight (here).


Hard to see the numbers in the photo, but it's 
under 2 inches, close to 1.5 inches.
This is one of my solar walkway lights.


Again, not too much snow, but there is ice beneath it, and temperatures are not supposed to go above freezing until tomorrow afternoon.  Many things are closed through today, or services and events cancelled.  I am working from home - as usual!

I wanted to make a wee snowperson, but the snow is dry and doesn't pack well, so my attempts fell apart quickly.  I cleared off the solar panels on my walkway lights and gave up the idea of making anything fun from this snow.
