Let it snow, etc., etc.

We thought it would never happen...but last Saturday we got snow in Durham! When we left North Carolina for winter break back in mid-December and the temperature was still a balmy 82 degrees, we figured we'd never see a real winter as long as we lived here.


Just a few days before we got the snow, there were weather warnings on all of the TV stations cautioning us to beware of the incoming "wintry mix" (which really just means cold, snowish looking rain); Brian received an email from the school warning that the entire Duke campus may have to shut down if the dreaded "wintry mix" came during the week...sadly the snow didn't come until Saturday, and it melted by Sunday. Even so, on Saturday, half of the city shut down due to the "inclimate weather". Call me crazy, but I don't see anything sticking to the asphalt do you? Still, we got a taste of winter and we are pretty darn glad that it only stayed for one day.
