The Storm That Wasn't

From the way the local news stations hype an approaching winter storm I almost thought I was back in Florida and a Hurricane was almost on our doorsteps. Well maybe not that bad. But up here around the Charlotte area the threat of snow, no matter how little, is a big deal. Since the city rarely gets a really heavy snow, there just are not enough resources to clear the roads.
During the night we actually had about two or three inches of snow but as I write this the snow has turned to rainy slush, which is probably worse for those out on the highways. Thankfully I'm safe here in my house.
Here are some pictures outside the house this morning.

First Ice In Denver NC

The first ice hit the Denver, NC area last night. Lows were in the mid teens and the high temperature today was only about 34°. Brrr. You can see that our little angel waterfall in the backyard got a little ice on her. Guess I'll have to unplug the pump and put everything in storage for the winter.
