Ice Ice Baby!

Since moving from Wisconsin to Virginia, we have had a bit to learn about winter in the south. After pooh-poohing their complete shut-downs for  [what seemed like to us] minor snowfalls, We have come to respect the  approach!

While the winters are less severe and the snowfalls both less frequent and less deep, the treachery produced by the just-above and just-below freezing temperatures, are a whole different game! Snowfalls, quickly melt into puddles which transform into sheets of black or white ice by morning, just to fool you into thinking they are still puddles. The last couple days have been like that.

Headed to the gym, I crossed three inch deep ice, bare ground, puddles, and snow... only to find the gym closed while the got the parking lot under control.
So I thought I would finally post in this forgotten blog with some of pictures taken this morning. I headed home, got out the camera, and took another (very careful) walk around  the block. Below is a slide show of the photos I took... hope you enjoy!

10 days of it here. Pinned down in Memphis and then Knoxville. Today it all melted and dried. Thank goodness. So interesting to hear the comparison to Wisconsin with you now in the the south (sorta, south-ish). : )
