Did I mention the snow?

When we woke up yesterday morning, this is what greeted us. It had already snowed before I arrived, and was still lying on the ground, but then I got to see it snow for two days, as you know a big deal for a Carolina girl like me. We got up at 6am and it was so lovely in the dark. Heavy snow and Rand said at work you never heard so much griping. Apparently it wasn't expected overnight and the snow ploughs were just a' scurryin' the next morning. Our balcony (yep, that's me in my pajamas and socks in the dark and cold) overlooks one of the roads and we could see the buses carefully pulling up to the sidewalks, people getting out with umbrellas, and yes, still a couple of hardy guys on bikes.

I took a walk once it got light and these are of town. The view to the river is just a few steps from our apartment and the picture below is looking over the river valley. The other is of the beginning part of the main shopping street which intersects at the train station. Everyone should be very proud of me in the outdoors, all bundled and warm. Sorry no pictures of me yet, having a bad hair month, but will try to rectify soon.
