Snow, Snow, Snow

Left work early this afternoon to avoid traffic complications due to snow. They are predicting four to six inches here -- more than enough for drivers not used to driving in snow.

Tonight I took a picture of the snow falling.  I thought it was cool (so to speak) that the flash made the snowflakes visible.

And I really DIDN'T want anybody out driving tonight. Nevertheless...

But David is safe. Let's hope the car doesn't slide down the slope before we can get it towed back home.

Not your usual day...

This has been a rather uncommon day. We knew the day was going to be special because of the Presidential inauguration, and because it is my mother's 88th birthday. What we didn't know was that it was going to SNOW and that the offices at work would be closed - read that, "I had a day off" - and the schools would be closed, too. Now, remember, we live in South Carolina, so snow, even a little, tends to be taken as a serious threat. The picture here shows the snow in our front yard after it had finished snowing and just before it started to melt.
