SNOW SCENES
FEBRUARY 2010

     Raleigh doesn't get
      snow often, the first
      winter I was here,
      it only snowed once.
      This winter it has
      snowed twice.

    I do hope this is it; I've seen enough snow
    the years I lived in Illinois to last me a lifetime.
    The worst storm so far this
    winter started the evening of
    January 31, 2010 and kept on all
    night.  It was a   mixture of
    snow, sleet, and freezing rain,
    about five or six inches
    altogether.  The bad thing       
    about this storm was that it was
    so icy, not the kind of weather
    you can drive in, no matter
    where you live.  I did not take all
    these picture, borrowed some
    from other people.  
    Look at the road to the
    right.  It looks very icy  
    even in the picture.
    I really have no idea why
    the deer seem to come
    out more when it snows.

    Many people in Raleigh
    haven't seen much snow so
    they enjoy it when it does
    come.  Both children and
    adults like to get outside with
    their sleds.  Personally I'd
    rather be inside near the
    fireplace.
    The snow that came during the night
    on February 12 and early morning
    February 13 was the soft powdery
    kind.  It snowed about 3 inches but
    did not stick to the pavement.  Most
    of it had melted by the end of the
    day.  I took these pictures from the
    front door.
    I forgot to cover the
    patio furniture.  Oh
    well!  It's supposed to
    be waterproof.
    You can see a bit of
    Misty on the patio.  
    She refuses to go
    into the yard, doesn't
    want to get her feet
    cold and wet.
Look at me, Mom!
Joey in the snow.
