Snow Day

   Yesterday was one of those unusual days in North Carolina; it snowed. Not a "big" snow, but a little one in Greensboro, maybe larger for most of the other counties. Schools closed, work opened two hours late, and some businesses just closed down shop. It's 24 degrees and dropping to 9 degrees overnight. Normal temperatures are 58 and 28. The sun is shining today and the streets are melting, but they will ice over during the night. Tomorrow will be worse driving conditions. It's a rare occasion when it snows but we tend to enjoy it more than we dread it.
   It seems that most birds don't migrate from North Carolina because it normally doesn't get this cold. In times like these, my wife Cheryl and I try to feed the critters to help them through the cold spell.
It will be 56 degrees on Saturday and all will be back to normal. Until then, we'll keep on putting feed out and hope that it makes a difference. We're hoping for the warmest February on record to follow up this very cold January.
